5 ASX 200 blue-chip shares to buy right now

TechnologyOne Limited (ASX: TNE) 

Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX: ALL) 

Atlas Arteria Limited (ASX: ALX) 

APA Group (ASX: APA)

Amcor Plc (ASX: AMC)

TechnologyOne Limited (ASX: TNE) 

is one of the best ASX 200 blue chip stocks to buy right now with a current market capitalisation of $10.41 billion and a 13.9% rise in its share price over the past month.

The company in the first half of FY26 reported total revenue of $322.7 million which was up 11% from the prior corresponding period while profit before tax rose 9% to a record $89.1 million and annual recurring revenue increased 17% to $598 million.

Recent progress has been particularly encouraging because TechnologyOne introduced its AI strategy through the Plus and Guide products and management stated that customer adoption and feedback have been better than expected while also creating a much larger sales pipeline.
Management has reaffirmed its upgraded FY26 guidance which targets ARR growth of 16% to 18% alongside profit growth of 18% to 20% with further margin expansion and a clear path to more than $1 billion of ARR by FY30.

Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX: ALL) 

is one of the most compelling ASX 200 blue-chip stocks to consider today with the global gaming technology leader currently valued at $30.3 billion.
The company in the first half of FY26 reported revenue growth of 6% in constant currency while segment profit increased 7% and NPATA rose 16% which reflects the strength of its gaming, social casino and interactive operations.

Recent progress has been encouraging as Aristocrat expands the use of artificial intelligence across product development, customer analytics and operational functions while also returning capital to shareholders through dividends and on-market buybacks worth approximately $1 billion during the half.

Management expects further NPATA growth in FY26 which is supported by ongoing market share gains in Aristocrat Gaming and advancement toward its US$1 billion Interactive revenue target by FY29.

Atlas Arteria Limited (ASX: ALX) 

is one of the most compelling ASX 200 blue-chip stocks to consider today because the toll road operator benefits from resilient traffic volumes and inflation-linked toll pricing.
The company in the first quarter of 2026 reported a 0.1% increase in proportionate toll revenue which rose to 1.6% when foreign exchange impacts were excluded despite mixed traffic conditions across its global road network.

A key attraction of the business is that most of Atlas Arteria's roads operate under CPI-linked toll regimes which allow revenue to increase alongside inflation over time while supporting relatively predictable and stable cash flows for shareholders.
The current market capitalisation is $7.34 billion and annual unfranked dividend yield is 7.91%.

APA Group (ASX: APA) 

is one of the most attractive ASX 200 stocks to consider today because it has defensive infrastructure assets with inflation linked revenue streams.
The energy infrastructure company delivered a strong first-half FY26 result as underlying EBITDA increased 7.6% year-on-year to $1.09 billion while free cash flow rose to $556 million and distribution per security grew 1.9% to 27.5 cents.

Recent updates were also positive with APA reaffirming its FY26 EBITDA guidance range of $2.12 billion to $2.20 billion and stating that it currently expects to finish above the midpoint of that range while more than 90% of its revenue is linked to inflation.

The market capitalisation is $13.35 billion and annual unfranked dividend yield is 5.7%.

Amcor Plc (ASX: AMC)

is one of the best ASX 200 blue-chip stocks to buy right now and in the third quarter of FY26 reported net sales of US$5.9 billion which was up 77% year-on-year while EBIT increased 79% to US$687 million.

Operational performance also improved as adjusted EBITDA margins expanded from 14.3% to 15.1% while acquisition synergies reached US$77 million during the quarter which placed synergy delivery at the upper end of expectations.

Management expects FY26 adjusted EPS to be between US$3.98 and US$4.03 which represents approximately 12% growth at the midpoint and it also forecasts free cash flow of US$1.5 billion to US$1.6 billion despite disruptions linked to the Middle East conflict.

Recent progress has been encouraging because the company completed six divestiture agreements under its portfolio optimisation program and successfully integrated Berry Global which has created a stronger and more diversified packaging leader with a market capitalisation of $25.07 billion and an annual dividend yield of 4.12%.
