Audinate Group Limited (ASX: AD8)

The first small cap ASX share to watch is Audinate. It is a digital audio-visual networking technologies provider best known for its industry-leading Dante audio over IP networking solution.

This solution is dominating the competition and is expected to continue doing so for the foreseeable future. In fact, as we covered here earlier this week, one fund manager believes Audinate has the potential to be an unregulated monopoly.

Positively, after being disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, demand has started to rebound strongly for the company's offering. This led to Audinate reporting its highest ever quarterly revenue last month.

UBS is a fan of the company. Last month it responded to its third quarter update by putting a buy rating and $10.40 price target on its shares. This compares to the most recent Audinate share price of $7.94.

Nitro Software Ltd (ASX: NTO)

Another small cap to watch is Nitro Software. It is a software company aiming to drive digital transformation in organisations around the world.

Its key solution is the Nitro Productivity Suite, which provides integrated PDF productivity and electronic signature tools. Demand continues to grow for the solution, underpinning strong recurring revenue growth.

For example, in FY 2021, the company is guiding to annualised recurring revenue (ARR) of $39 million to $42 million. This represents year on year growth of 41% to 51.6%.

Morgan Stanley is positive on the company and recently reaffirmed its overweight rating and $3.70 price target on its shares. This compares to the latest Nitro share price of $3.00.
