Opportunities in the share market don't stay open forever. The best ASX growth shares often deliver their strongest returns to investors who get in early and hold on through the ups and downs.

Right now, there are several ASX shares scaling quickly in huge markets — and waiting too long could mean missing out.

Here are three amazing ASX growth shares that analysts think are worth buying before it's too late.

Life360 Inc. (ASX: 360)

Life360 has become a household name in family safety and location services, and its latest results highlight just how quickly it is scaling.

In the June quarter, revenue surged 36% year on year to US$115.4 million, while adjusted EBITDA jumped 85% to US$20.3 million.

Paying Circles, which are Life360's most valuable customers, grew 25% to 2.5 million, and average revenue per subscriber also moved higher.

What makes Life360 so exciting is its ability to turn rapid user growth into recurring subscription revenue, while expanding internationally and layering on premium features. With 88 million monthly active users and a strong cash position of more than US$430 million, it has the resources to keep investing for growth.

For investors, Life360 is arguably shaping up as one of the ASX's most compelling technology stories. It is no wonder then that Morgan Stanley has an overweight rating and $51.00 price target on its shares.

Light & Wonder Inc. (ASX: LNW)

Light & Wonder may not be as well known as other ASX growth shares, but it has quickly established itself as a leader in gaming technology and content. The company designs and supplies gaming machines, systems, and digital platforms to casinos worldwide, giving it a broad revenue base across multiple regions.

What sets Light & Wonder apart is its ability to bridge the gap between physical and digital gaming. Its push into iGaming and online platforms provides a scalable growth channel beyond its traditional hardware base. With regulatory markets opening up and gaming spend continuing to grow globally, Light & Wonder's combination of recurring digital revenue and strong market share leaves it well-placed for growth over the next decade.

Macquarie is a fan of the company and has an outperform rating and $180.00 price target on its shares.

NextDC Ltd (ASX: NXT)

A third ASX growth shares that could be a buy is NextDC. It is Australia's data centre powerhouse, and demand for its services has exploded thanks to cloud adoption and the surge in AI computing.

In FY25, net revenue rose 14% to $350.2 million, ahead of guidance, and the company locked in a record 72.2MW of new contracted sales. Its forward order book now stands at 134MW — more than its entire current billing footprint — highlighting the massive demand pipeline.

With $5.5 billion of liquidity and expansion projects across Asia-Pacific, NextDC is building capacity to capture growth from hyperscale cloud providers and enterprises alike.

The team at Morgans thinks this makes it a buy and had put a price target of $19.00 on its shares.
