Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX: ALL)

The first ASX share that could be a top option for growth investors is Aristocrat Leisure. It is a leading gaming technology company offering poker machines, mobile games, and real money gaming (RMG).

Morgans is a big fan of the company and has it on its best ideas list. There are three reasons why it is bullish, it explains:

We have three key reasons for being positive on ALL. They are: (1) long-term organic growth potential. ALL is better capitalised than many of its competitors and has what we regard as a strong platform to continue investment in design and development in both its land-based gaming and digital businesses; (2) strong cash conversion and ROCE. ALL is a capital-light business despite its ongoing investment in Gaming Operations capex and working capital. It has a high level of cash conversion and ROCE; and (3) strong platform for investment. ALL has funding capacity for organic and inorganic investment in online RMG, even after the recent buyback. Its current available liquidity is $3.8bn.

Morgans has an add rating and a $45 price target on Aristocrat's shares. This compares to its current share price of $40.70.

TechnologyOne Ltd (ASX: TNE)

Another ASX growth share that has been tipped as a buy is enterprise software provider TechnologyOne.

Goldman Sachs continues to rate the company highly. This is due to its successful transition to a software-as-a-service focused business and its defensive earnings in a tough environment. It explains:

With the initial headwinds of the cloud transition to group revenue behind it, we believe TNE is well placed to reinvest into R&D (compounding its competitive advantage in its target verticals against small and/or unfocused peers) while still growing PBT margins. We see TNE's +10-15% FY23E PBT growth guidance as conservative, and believe that TNE can grow PBT >15% p.a. across FY23-25E driven by its strong ARR outlook (+18% FY22-25E CAGR) and modest margin expansion (+220bps FY22-25E).

Goldman has a buy rating and a $18.30 price target on its shares. This compares favourably to the latest TechnologyOne share price of $15.69.
