There are three ASX shares which have rocketed over 185% over the past year, far outpacing the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) which increased just 8.32% over the same period.
And the best bit, even after their annual share price surges, these shares are still rated a buy.
Here's a rundown of each.

Life360 Inc (ASX: 360)
The Life360 share price closed in the red on Wednesday afternoon, down 3.2% for the day at $49.57 a piece. The drop did nothing to dampen the United States-based software development company's annual share price increase though. At the time of writing the share price was an enormous 195.24% higher for the year.
The dual-listed company (on the Nasdaq and the ASX) recently posted its FY25 financial results which showed an impressive 36% year-on-year surge in revenue.
The company is set to experience more growth too. Life360 plans to expand its networking and location-sharing software to include pet-tracking features this year. And in 2026 it plans to focus on building an elderly-focused solution.
Most analysts expect more upside to come too. According to TradingView data, 8 out of 9 analysts have a buy or strong buy rating on the shares.
The analysts have a maximum price target of $50.27 which represents a potential 1.42% upside for the stock over the next 12 months.
Catalyst Metals Ltd (ASX: CYL)
Another ASX 200 stock with impressive growth over the past 12 months is Catalyst Metals.
The Western Australian gold producer's share price closed 1.91% lower at $7.69 a piece at the close on Wednesday. But for the year the share price is an impressive 188.01% higher.
Catalyst Metals also delivered impressive FY25 financial results following a year of operational consistency and organic growth. The miner has a good growth strategy in place too, including expectations of production increase towards the latter half of FY26. For the financial year the miner expects gold production to increase to 100-110koz, up from 86koz in FY25.
The good news is, despite the share price surge this past year, forecasted growth means it isn't too late to invest in the ASX 200 share.
TradingView data shows analyst consensus of a buy or strong buy rating on Catalyst Metals shares.
The maximum 12-month target price is $12.90 and the average is $10.37. At the time of writing that represents a 34.88% to 67.75% upside for investors.
Catapult Sports Ltd (ASX: CAT)
The Catapult Sports share price closed the day on Wednesday in the green. It rose 1.34% higher to $6.81 per share. But like the other stocks in this list, it's the 12-month increase which is most impressive, at 187.34%.
The global sports data and analytics company, which provides real-time data to optimise athletes' performance, experienced a robust 19% revenue uplift in FY25 year. The revenue increase was propelled by an 18% increase in the company's Annualised Contract Value (ACV) as Catapult pushes to hit an ACV target exceeding $1 billion.
The business has also actively been expanding its position in the market with acquisitions of companies such as Perch (Catalyft Labs, Inc) midway through the calendar year.
TradingView data shows analyst consensus of a buy or strong buy rating on Catapult Sports shares.
Analysts have a target price of $7.50 per share, which represents a potential 10.16% upside at the time of writing.
