IDP Education Ltd (ASX: IEL)

Goldman Sachs believes that this language testing and student placement company's shares are significantly undervalued following a recent selloff.

Its analysts have a buy rating and $27.60 price target on its shares. This implies potential upside of 43% for investors over the next 12 months.

While Goldman acknowledges that there has been a series of negative events that could impact IDP Education, it remains very positive and believes that structural tailwinds will underpin very strong medium term growth. It said:

IEL trades at 28x our 12mf EPS estimate vs 45x historically and against a +17% FY23-26E EPS CAGR. Reiterate Buy into a strong 1H result where we sit +10% ahead of VA Consensus EBIT based on a strong start to FY24E as seen in the available visa data. News flow may continue to be choppy, however IEL's fundamental quality and structural growth drivers remain intact while the company possesses levers to continue to grow earnings (e.g. costs).

Readytech Holdings Ltd (ASX: RDY)

Goldman Sachs also sees major upside potential for this enterprise software provider's shares.

It currently has a buy rating and a $4.50 price target on the ASX growth share. This implies a 12-month potential return of over 30% for investors.

Goldman likes Readytech due to its positive growth outlook and attractive valuation. It said:

We believe RDY remains undervalued compared to SaaS peers on an absolute and growth adjusted basis, trading on 11.5x FY24E EV/EBITDA vs a 19% FY23-26E EBITDA CAGR or a growth-adjusted multiple of 0.6x vs peers typically at ~1.5x.
