Siteminder Ltd (ASX: SDR)
This ASX share is the company behind Siteminder, which claims to be the world's leading hotel commerce platform, as well as Little Hotelier, an all-in-one hotel management software offering that "makes the lives of small accommodation providers easier".
It's an important part of the global hotel ecosystem, generating more than A$85 billion in revenue for hotel customers each year from 140 million reservations.
According to CMC Invest, the business has received 10 ratings in the last three months. Nine of those ratings were a buy, and one was a sell. The average price target across those 10 ratings is $5.45, implying a possible 109% rise over the next year from where it is at the time of writing.
FY26 was a strong period for the ASX share. It reported that annual recurring revenue (ARR) increased by 14.9% to $313.7 million, despite softer global travel conditions. Revenue grew by 18.6% to $266.1 million.
The company noted that net property additions were 5,900, bringing the total properties on its software to 56,000. Pleasingly, average revenue per user (ARPU) grew 5.9% to $429, with increasing smart platform adoption and deeper product penetration across the customer base.
Profitability measures are also improving strongly. The adjusted group gross profit margin increased 84 basis points to 67.2% thanks to operating leverage, AI-driven efficiencies and smart platform contributions.
Adjusted operating profit (EBITDA) soared 96.5% to $28.1 million and adjusted free cash flow rose 123% to $10.5 million.
Overall, things are going very well for the ASX share.
Zip Co Ltd (ASX: ZIP)
Zip is a buy now, pay later (BNPL) company with operations in Australia and the US.
According to CMC Invest, six analyst ratings have been issued on the business in the last three months, and all were buys. The average price target across those six ratings is $4.23, implying a potential 113% rise over the next year from where it is at the time of writing.
Despite the headwinds of higher inflation, the company continues to grow strongly in the US.
In FY26, total transaction volume (TTV) grew 27.2% to $16.7 billion, total income rose 24.6% to $1.35 billion, cash gross profit rose 26.2% to $642.4 million, and cash operating profit (EBTDA) soared 57.9% to $268.9 million. Statutory net profit rose 45.7% to $116.4 million.
In the US, active customers grew 9.3% to 4.65 million, US revenue grew 44.3% to US$613.1 million and US TTV climbed 42.5% to $8.6 billion.
In FY27, the company expects US TTV growth of more than 30% in US dollar terms, while group cash operating profit (EBTDA) is expected to grow by 26% year-over-year to $340 million.
Overall, the ASX share continues to grow strongly.
