Allkem Ltd (ASX: AKE)

The first ASX 200 share that is rated highly is lithium miner Allkem.

It is the owner of a collection of quality projects across several lithium types. These include Olaroz, Mt Cattlin, and the Sal de Vida brine project.

With lithium prices at sky high prices and looking likely to stay that way in the near term, Allkem appears well-placed to deliver strong earnings growth. Particularly given the end of older supply contracts at much lower prices and increasing production.

In respect to the latter, management is aiming to grow its production three-fold by 2026 and command a 10% share of global lithium production over the long term.

Bell Potter is a big fan of the company. It has a buy rating and $21.58 price target on its shares.

Altium Limited (ASX: ALU)

Another ASX 200 share to look at is Altium. It is a printed circuit board design software (PCB) provider.

PCBs are the boards you find in almost all electronic devices. They are integral to the operation of the device and come in all shapes and sizes. As a result, the design of them is an extremely complex process and requires specialist software.

Altium's software is regarded as the best in the industry. A testament to this is its customer base, which includes the likes of NASA and Tesla.

Management is very confident on its future and is aiming to double its revenue to US$500 million by 2026 with stronger margins. This bodes well for its earnings growth over the coming years.

Jefferies is a fan of the company. Its analysts currently have a buy rating and $38.13 price target on its shares.
