Judo Capital Holdings Ltd (ASX: JDO)
Judo is a financial institution that provides loans to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), with term deposits being a key source of funding. Term deposit customers include SMSFs, individuals and businesses.
The company recently said its FY26 cost-to-risk is expected to be in the range of between $116 million to $122 million because of three exposures across different sectors as a result of customer-specific developments.
Even so, Judo still expects its FY26 profit before tax (PBT) to be between $163 million to $169 million, or approximately 30% growth compared to FY25.
The company also expects FY27 PBT to be between $210 million to $220 million, which would be a 30% rise as a result of growth and operating leverage despite this period of uncertainty.
According to CMC Invest, there have been 10 ratings on the business within the last three months, with eight of those being a buy and two being a hold. Of those 10 ratings, the average price target is $1.63, which implies a possible rise of 77% from where it is at the time of writing.
Nextdc Ltd (ASX: NXT)
Another ASX share that has attracted a lot of positive attention is Nextdc, a business that builds, owns and operates data centres in a number of Australian cities. It also has a growing number of locations overseas, including Japan, Malaysia and New Zealand.
The business is investing heavily in data centres to provide the computing infrastructure feeding global demand for AI.
Nextdc is seeing this period as a great time to heavily invest, and it's also seeing a rapid increase in the contracted utilisation. In mid-April, the company upgraded its contracted utilisation by 60% to 667MW and it also upgraded its FY26 capital expenditure guidance range to between $2.7 billion to $3 billion.
According to CMC Invest, there have been eight broker ratings on the business in the last three months, with all of those being a buy. The average price target of those eight analysts is $20.41, which implies a possible rise of 46%.
These are both businesses growing profit rapidly, though there are other ASX shares that could be even better buys.
