Cue Mathan Somasundaram, market portfolio strategist at Blue Ocean Equities, alongside analysts at Deutsche Bank, UBS, Wilsons, Baillieu Holst and CLSA (I might have forgotten a few) who all declared Aristocrat shares are a screaming buy at these beaten down levels.Baillieu Holst upgraded to Buy on Tuesday, declaring the -17% fall from the record closing high of $32.98 "has come to be a rare opportunity in recent years to buy the stock on material weakness". Baillieu Holst upped the new price target to $33.15 from $31 previously. Among the positives cited in support of the move was favourable feedback from last week's global gaming expo in the USA; G2E.One day earlier, in the midst of the severe sell-down of Australian equities, Wilsons declared it is time to step up and declare Aristocrat shares an unmitigated buying opportunity. Wilsons has a fair value assessment around $33. It's price target sits at $32.95. Over at CLSA the analysts have a price target of $41.26.I do know Aristocrat Leisure, due to its link with pokie machines in Australia, is not everybody's taste. Just saying…
