There are a handful of ASX shares that analysts think could deliver substantial returns, with multiple buy ratings.
Analysts always seek opportunities that may be undervalued. Experts can quantify how undervalued an investment might be with a price target.
A price target tells investors where they think the share price will be in 12 months from the time of the investment rating. If a price target implies capital gains of more than 10% in the next year, it could be more likely to beat the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO).
There are a few names that are projected to grow by 60% or more, including the following two.

IDP Education Ltd (ASX: IEL)
IDP describes itself as a global leader in international student placement and a co-owner of the world's most popular high-stakes English language test, IELTS. It helps people get accepted into their ideal course, take an English language test or learn English in its schools.
It's partnered with more than 1,000 universities and institutions across Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK and the USA.
The ASX share has struggled in recent times amid the uncertainty surrounding the international student sector, but now it's seen as undervalued after falling 95% since November 2021 and down 70% since January 2026.
IDP Education reported that it was resilient during FY26, with revenue only falling by 9% to $795.4 million as low volumes were partly offset by a strong yield performance. It said that its yield improved 11% in student placement and 7% in language testing.
Student placement volumes declined by 27%, language testing volumes dropped by 8%, and language volumes increased by 1%. IDP said it was disciplined with its cost control, with direct costs down 8%. It delivered a $32 million net reduction in its overhead cost base, ahead of its $25 million target.
It also said that its adjusted operating profit (EBIT) of $122.9 million only declined by 7%.
The ASX share is planning for its market volume to drop by 20%-30% in FY27, but it expects revenue outperformance amid a focus on profitable growth and average yield improvements. The student placement and English language testing yields are expected to grow at mid-single-digit percentages.
Cost-cutting is expected to deliver a $15 million reduction in overhead costs.
According to CMC Invest, there have been nine ratings on the business within the last three months. The average price target is $3.08, implying a possible rise of 68% over the next year from where it is at the time of writing.
Zip Co Ltd (ASX: ZIP)
Another ASX share that could be one to watch is Zip, a leading buy now, pay later business.
The company recently reported its results for the 12 months to 30 June 2026, which showed impressive growth. Total transaction value (TTV) grew 27.2% to $16.7 billion, with US TTV higher by 42.5% in US dollar terms.
Total income increased 24.6% to $1.35 billion, cash operating profit (EBTDA) rose 57.9% to $268.9 million and statutory net profit after tax (NPAT) grew 45.7% to $116.4 million. It also announced a $50 million Zip share buyback.
In FY27, the ASX share expects to see US TTV growth of more than 30% in US dollar terms, and cash EBTDA could rise by 26% to $340 million.
According to CMC Invest, there have been six ratings on the business within the last three months. The average price target is $4.28, suggesting a possible rise of 69% over the next year from where it is at the time of writing.
