REA Group Limited (ASX: REA)

The first ASX share to consider is property listings company REA Group. It is best-known for the realestate.com.au website, which has been dominating the ANZ market for years.

This domination continued in FY 2021, with the company recording an average of 121.9 million monthly visits to its website. This was up 35% year on year and was 3.3 times greater than its nearest competitor. Pleasingly, this strong form has continued in FY 2022, with REA once again reporting 3.3 times more visits than its nearest rival. This includes a record 13.2 million people visiting its local site in October.

In light of this dominance, the strength of the housing market, and new acquisitions and revenue streams, REA Group has been tipped to continue its growth in the coming years by the team at Goldman Sachs. Its analysts recently put a buy rating and $167.00 price target on the company's shares.

TechnologyOne Ltd (ASX: TNE)

Another ASX share to look at is TechnologyOne. It is Australia's largest enterprise software company, providing a global software as a service (SaaS) ERP solution that transforms business and makes life simple for its customers. At the last count, there were well over 1,000+ leading corporations, government agencies, local councils and universities being powered by its software.

This has underpinned strong recurring revenue growth, which is expected to continue in the coming years. For example, management is targeting annual recurring revenue (ARR) of over $500 million by FY 2026. This is almost double its current base ARR of $257.5 million.

Pleasingly, management appears confident it will achieve this target. It commented: "Our SaaS business continues to grow quickly. The quality of this revenue stream is exceptionally high, given its recurring contractual nature, combined with our very low churn rate of ~1%."

"With our fast-growing SaaS business and the announcement of the end of our On-Premise business, we are on track to hit our target of $500m+ ARR by FY26."

Bell Potter is a fan and has a buy rating and $15.00 price target on its shares.
