With so many shares to choose from on the Australian share market, it can be difficult to decide which ones to buy. The good news is that brokers across the country are doing a lot of the hard work for you.

Three top ASX shares that leading brokers have named as buys this week are listed below. Here's why they are bullish on them:

Liontown Resources Ltd (ASX: LTR)

According to a note out of Bell Potter, its analysts have retained their speculative buy rating on this lithium miner's shares with a trimmed price target of $1.25. This follows the release of the company's half year results last week. The broker highlights that its result was broadly in line with its estimates. Bell Potter also points out that Liontown's outlook statements are unchanged and it is targeting the transition to full underground mining by the end of FY 2026. Outside its results, the broker notes that Liontown's Kathleen Valley lithium project remains highly strategic in terms of scale, long project life, and location in a tier-one mining jurisdiction. The Liontown share price is trading at 66 cents on Monday.

Qantas Airways Ltd (ASX: QAN)

A note out of Goldman Sachs reveals that its analysts have retained their buy rating and $11.80 price target on this airline operator's shares. Goldman notes that Qantas' shares have fallen heavily this month following the release of trading updates from a number of US airlines. However, it feels this has been an overreaction. Particularly given the differences in the two markets and because it was only a matter of a few weeks ago that Qantas provided an update of its own. And that update pointed to favourable trading conditions. Outside this, the broker continues to highlight that the Flying Kangaroo's earnings capacity has sustainably improved since COVID, which provides a solid foundation for its next stage of growth. The Qantas share price is fetching $8.89 at the time of writing.

REA Group Ltd (ASX: REA)

Another note out of Goldman Sachs, its analysts have retained their buy rating and $273.00 price target on this property listings company's shares. The broker notes that industry feedback indicates that REA Group is increasing its Premiere Plus pricing by ~7% in FY 2026. Though, there will be significant variation across geographies, with low to mid-single digit increases in areas and up to 9.2% in parts of Sydney. It has also made a number of significant changes to its agent subscriptions, increasing pricing significantly and structuring the packages to incentivise usage of Audience Maximiser/Pro. Goldman sees these changes as largely in line with its expectations and continues to believe that REA will deliver on its double digit yield growth aspiration in FY 2026. The REA Group share price is trading at $234.12 today.
