5 of the best Aussie stocks to buy now

If you've got cash ready to invest and are looking for quality Aussie stocks to buy, then read on!

Here are five stocks that operate in different industries but each have compelling long-term stories.

Breville Group Ltd (ASX: BRG)

The first Aussie stock worth considering is Breville. In recent years, Breville has evolved into a premium global brand, particularly in the coffee segment. Its machines are positioned at the higher end of the market, where quality and design matter more than price alone.

As at-home coffee culture continues to expand worldwide, Breville's international footprint gives it exposure to a lifestyle trend rather than simply cyclical retail demand. It is partly for this reason that Morgans recently put a buy rating and $40.65 price target on its shares.

Cochlear Ltd (ASX: COH)

Another Aussie stock to look at is Cochlear. It is a healthcare leader with strong competitive advantages. The company develops implantable hearing solutions and benefits from ageing populations across developed markets. Its products are complex, heavily researched, and difficult for competitors to replicate.

With a large installed base and ongoing innovation, Cochlear's growth is supported by both new recipients and device upgrades. And while current trading conditions are not easy, there's no denying its positive long-term growth outlook.

Life360 Inc. (ASX: 360)

Another Aussie stock to consider is Life360. It has built a global family safety platform with almost 100 million users. What makes it interesting is that monetisation still has room to expand. Many users begin on free plans before upgrading to paid tiers that include advanced safety features, driving insights, and emergency assistance.

That model gives Life360 both scale and optionality. As engagement deepens and premium penetration rises, earnings can grow without needing to dramatically increase user numbers. It also has a growing advertising business, which could be another growth driver in the future.

Light & Wonder Inc. (ASX: LNW)

Light & Wonder operates across gaming machines, digital gaming content, and social casino platforms. Rather than relying on a single revenue stream, the company has built exposure across physical and digital channels. Its content library and recurring revenue streams help smooth performance across economic cycles.

As gaming continues to migrate online and expand globally, this Aussie stock remains well positioned.

Universal Store Holdings Ltd (ASX: UNI)

The final Aussie stock to consider is Universal Store. Targeting younger consumers, Universal Store has been expanding its store footprint while also growing its private-label offerings. Strong brand positioning and disciplined cost management have supported cash generation.

Retail can be cyclical, but well-executed expansion combined with brand strength can drive attractive long-term returns.
