TechnologyOne Ltd (ASX: TNE)

The first ASX 200 share that could be in the buy zone right now is TechnologyOne. It is an enterprise software company servicing the government, financial services, health & community services, education, utilities and managed services markets.

Bell Potter is very positive on TechnologyOne. This is largely due to the company's ongoing shift to becoming a SaaS-focused business. The broker expects this to underpin greater recurring revenues and stronger margins, which in turn could support a rerating of its shares. Bell Potter's analysts currently have a buy rating and $14.00 price target on its shares.

The broker commented: "The key competitive advantage of the company is it has developed a fully integrated SaaS solution of its software and is now switching customers to this solution. The migration is now >50% complete and Technology One is starting to reap the benefits of greater recurring revenue and a higher margin. This combination will in our view drive double digit earnings growth for years to come and, as the migration of customers approaches 100%, we expect the multiple to re-rate to that of a pure SaaS company."

Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES)

Another ASX 200 share that could be a buy is Wesfarmers. It is the conglomerate behind retailers such as Bunnings, Kmart, Officeworks, and Target, as well as a collection of chemicals and industrial businesses such as Covalent Lithium and Coregas.

Morgans is a fan of the company and believes it is well-placed for growth over the long term. This is thanks to the strength of its portfolio and its highly-regarded management team. The broker has an add rating and $58.50 price target on its shares.

It said: "WES possesses one of the highest quality retail portfolios in Australia with strong brands including Bunnings, Kmart and Officeworks. The company is run by a highly regarded management team and the balance sheet is healthy. While COVID-related staff shortages are a challenge, the core Bunnings division (>60% of group EBIT) remains a solid performer as consumers continue to invest in their homes. We see the recent pullback in the share price as a good entry point for longer term investors."
