Altium Limited (ASX: ALU)

Altium is an electronic design software provider best known for its Altium Designer and Altium 365 platforms. It also has the Octopart electronic parts search engine business and the NEXUS design collaboration platform supporting the core business.

Thanks to industry tailwinds that are underpinning growth in electronic devices globally, these businesses look well-positioned to benefit from increasing demand.

And while COVID-19 has softened demand in the short term and could lead to Altium falling short of expectations in FY 2021, analysts at Citi believe investors should stick with the company.

It has recently retained its buy rating and $33.50 price target on the company's shares. It feels Altium is nearing its COVID related downgrade cycle.

Temple & Webster Group Ltd (ASX: TPW)

Another ASX growth share that has been tipped as a buy is Temple & Webster. It is one of Australia's leading online retailers with a focus on furniture and homewares.

It recently released its third quarter update and revealed further strong top line growth. And while management's decision to focus on winning market share at the expense of profit margins spooked some investors, analysts support this plan.

Morgan Stanley is one of them. Following its third quarter update, it retained its overweight rating and lifted its price target to $15.00. This compares to the current Temple & Webster share price of $10.70.

The broker expects the strategy to widen its moat and allow the company to take advantage of the shift to online shopping.
