ASX growth shares are capable of producing huge returns, if we buy the rights ones at the right price.

Experts are always on the lookout for great businesses. Opportunities can arise as share prices move up and down over time. We're going to look at some of the most highly respected ASX tech shares that could deliver strong returns.

Both of the companies below are rated as buys by multiple experts. We'll look at the level of return experts are expecting in the coming year from these businesses.

Life360 Inc (ASX: 360)

According to CMC Markets, there are (at least) five different analysts who rate the business as a buy.

What does it do? The software business says it's a family connection and safety company, keeping people close to the ones they love. It claims to be the category-leading mobile app.

It empowers people to stay connected to the people, pets and things they care about most through a range of services including location sharing, safe driver reports and crash detection with emergency dispatch.

The business recently revealed its 2025 third quarter update, which showed total paying circle growth of 23% to 2.7 million, revenue growth of 34% to $124.5 million, adjusted operating profit (EBITDA) growth of 174% to $24.5 million and operating cash flow growth of 319% to $26.4 million.

According to CMC Markets, analysts are excited about the strong demand for the ASX growth share's pet tracking device, suggesting potential for additional subscribers and revenue. Elderly monitoring, auto insurance and card payments for children could also help growth.

The average price target of $52.35 suggests upside of more than 30% at the time of writing, according to CMC Markets.

DUG Technology Ltd (ASX: DUG)

The other ASX growth share I'll highlight is DUG Technology, which says it enables organisations from across the world to "tackle their most complex data challenges through its reliable cloud-based network of high performance computing facilities, proprietary software solutions, energy-efficient immersion cooling systems and tailored geoscience services."

According to CMC Markets, there are currently five buy ratings from analysts on the business.

Its FY26 first quarter update demonstrated strong growth by the business, including 19% revenue growth and 65% operating profit (EBITDA) growth. Operating cash flow improved US$1.1 million year-over-year to US$0.4 million and its services order book reached US$51.9 million, up 46% year-over-year.  

DUG Technology's managing director Matthew Lamont said that delivering its first revenue in Brazil and increasing traction in the Middle East demonstrates the success of its international expansion strategy, positioning it for future growth.

According to CMC Markets, analysts noted that Petronas had contracted the in-house processing centre to SLB, which shows the win potentially validates DUG's offering as a market leader. The upfront payment will enable capital expenditure to be funded without utilising working capital.

The average price target of $3 suggests a possible upside of more than 40% at the time of writing, according to CMC Markets.
