The article, shortened and in plain language

The S&P/ASX 200 Index has climbed higher again on Thursday morning, up around another 0.5%. The increase is great news after the index suffered consecutive declines over the past month. And now many investors are focused on ASX 200 shares that can continue climbing higher from here.

Here are three ASX 200 shares that broker forecasts suggest could jump up to 40% over the next 12 months.

The ASX 200 airline shares were smashed lower earlier this year as conflict in the Middle East and rising fuel prices put airlines under pressure. There was a brief rebound around July, but recent renewal of geopolitical tensions has seen the share price tumble again over the past month.

Jet fuel is the highest operating cost for airlines.

Paladin Energy shares are rebounding on Thursday after a sell-off over the past week.

The decline is likely due to some factors.

Renewed conflict in the Middle East, higher inflation data, and concerns about more interest rate rises have seen some investors reduce their exposure to higher-risk shares.

Market Index data shows most brokers still have a buy rating on the ASX 200 shares. The $12.83 average target price implies an upside of around 35%.

Shares in the ASX 200 technology company motorcycles, boats, and commercial vehicles, have fell around 20% over the past month.

Reported adjusted EBITDA was up 8% to $667 million.

The shares rose around 10% on the day of the announcement, but have since fell back towards an annual low.
