Pro Medicus Limited (ASX: PME)

The first ASX growth share that Goldman is bullish on is Pro Medicus. It is a health imaging technology company behind the incredibly popular Visage 7 Enterprise Imaging platform.

Goldman likes the company due to its position as the technology leader in a growth market. It also highlight the company's potential to expand its offering further in the future. It explains:

Our new estimates imply a +26% EBITDA CAGR (FY23-26E), a 'multiple to growth' ratio of 2.4x, which we view as undemanding vs. ASX Healthcare on 1.8x. We view PME as the clear incumbent technology leader in a growth market with low-risk market share upside from c.10% today, and the optionality to broaden/deepen into a platform solution for adjacent/complementary offerings.

Goldman has a buy rating and a $88 price target on the company's shares.

TechnologyOne Ltd (ASX: TNE)

Another ASX growth stock that Goldman rates as buy is enterprise software provider TechnologyOne.

The broker likes TechnologyOne due to its defensive earnings and transition to a software-as-a-service focused business. It said:

We highlight the defensiveness of TNE's core end markets of Local Government (35% of 1H23 ARR) and Education (25%), and the public sector more broadly (>75%), with growing IT spending supported by revenue streams including council rates and government funding. 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 Sachs has a buy rating and a $18.30 price target on Technology One's shares.
