Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX: ALL)

Aristocrat Leisure could be an ASX growth shares to buy according to analysts at Morgans.

The broker likes the leading gaming technology company due to its long-term growth potential. This is being underpinned by the popularity of its poker machines and digital games, as well as its recent expansion into real money gaming (RMG). Morgans explains:

We're optimistic about ALL's long-term growth potential, given its superior capitalisation and strong ability to invest in the development of its land-based and digital gaming businesses. Additionally, ALL has a high cash conversion rate and ROCE, despite running a capital-light model. Additionally, ALL has ample funding for investment in online RMG, even following the recent buyback extension.

Morgans currently has an add rating and $45.00 price target on its shares.

Objective Corporation Limited (ASX: OCL)

Goldman Sachs thinks that Objective Corp could be an ASX growth share to buy.

Its analysts rate the public sector software provider highly due to its strong position in a relatively defensive sector. Goldman believes that robust demand and its defensive earnings will ultimately underpin earnings per share growth above 20% in both FY 2024 and FY 2025. The broker explains:

In our view OCL is well placed to deliver robust and defensive earnings growth driven by (1) R&D and new product cycles accelerating the contribution from newer products including Nexus, Build and RegWorks; (2) cycling of revenue/earnings headwinds from model transition away from perpetual / services revenue and towards subscriptions; and (3) cost management into FY24, with +350/+250bps margin expansion driving +23%/+32% FY24/25 EPS growth when comping trough FY23E earnings.

Goldman has a buy rating and $14.90 price target on Objective Corp's shares.
