The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) has enjoyed a reprieve today. At the time of writing, the index is 0.4% higher for the day following a 3.3% loss earlier in the week. Today's increase has been driven by strong growth from some Australian growth stocks. Here are three of them, and they're all supercharged to surge over the next 12 months.

Seek Ltd (ASX: SEK)
Seek shares are 2.37% higher in lunchtime trade on Thursday. At the time of writing, the shares are trading at $16.44 each. It's welcome news for investors after the stock dropped to a six-year low of $15.77 at the close of the ASX on Tuesday this week.
Seek reported robust double-digit revenue growth in its FY26 first half, but investors weren't impressed, and the share price dived.
Analysts are still optimistic, though, and think the shares are about to rocket higher. TradingView data shows all 15 analysts have a buy or strong buy rating on the stock. The maximum target price is $29.70, which implies a potential 80.71% upside at the time of writing.
Zip Co Ltd (ASX: ZIP)
Zip shares have also been in the spotlight recently for their excessive share price decline. Since peaking at a multi-year high in October, the Australian growth stock has shed over 64% of its value.
Just last month, Zip delivered a record half-year FY26 result, but investors were spooked by several of the company's metrics, sending the share price crashing another 33.87%.
Thankfully, the stock has jumped higher today. At the time of writing, the shares are 5.86% higher at $1.72.
But it looks like the selling has been way overdone. Analysts expect the stock to U-turn this year. The latest data from TradingView shows that all 11 analysts currently have a buy or strong buy rating on Zip shares. The average target price is $4.21 a piece, which implies a 144.25% upside at the time of writing. But some think the shares could jump another 206.04% to $5.27 each!
REA Group Ltd (ASX: REA)
The ASX growth stock's share price suffered a gradual but relentless decline in 2025 after it appointed a new CEO in late August. And by the end of the year, it had shed 30% of its value.
At the time of writing, REA shares are gaining ground, rising 1.56% to $166.87.
The company reported robust second-quarter FY26 results in early February, but the figures came in short of market expectations, and the share price crashed by 18%.
But most analysts are still bullish that we'll see the stock supercharge higher this year. TradingView data shows that 12 out of 16 analysts have a buy or strong buy rating on the Australian growth stock. The maximum target price is $253, which implies a 51.89% upside at the time of writing.
