Neuren Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: NEU)

The first ASX 200 growth share that could have major upside potential is Neuren Pharmaceuticals.

It is a pharmaceuticals company that is developing new drug therapies to treat multiple serious neurological disorders that emerge in early childhood and have no or limited approved treatment options.

A recent note shows that Bell Potter is feeling very positive about the company's NNZ-2591 product candidate. It is being trialled in children with Angelman syndrome. The broker believes NNZ-2591 could give the company's earnings a big boost in the future. It explains:

Neuren Pharmaceuticals is a biotech company that is well-funded via its first asset, DAYBUE, which is an FDA approved trofinetide for the treatment of Rett syndrome. NEU's value is from its second asset, NNZ-2591, which is under development for rare diseases. NNZ-2591, if successful, could lead to a significant increase in revenue and earnings when brought to market. NEU looks attractive on a risk/adjusted basis after the recent sell-off.

Bell Potter has a buy rating and $25.00 price target on its shares. This suggests that Neuren Pharmaceuticals shares could double in value over the next 12 months.

Web Travel Group Ltd (ASX: WEB)

Another ASX 200 growth share that could be a buy is Web Travel Group. It is a business to business travel company operating the WebBeds business.

Analysts at Goldman Sachs think that recent share price weakness has created a buying opportunity.

The broker believes that Web Travel Group is well-placed to grow rapidly over the remainder of the decade. In light of this, it feels that its shares are trading on undemanding multiples. It said:

WEB is the second largest Hotel Bed wholesaler globally with <10% of the global hotel wholesale market. We are Buy rated on WEB as we have confidence that WEB will be able to grow TTV in line with its FY25/30 targets of A$5bn/A$10bn respectively. In particular, we believe WEB is well placed to continue to grow in key US/APAC growth markets, though expect revenue margin to lower towards ~6.3% over time as the company expands into lower margin US/APAC markets. WEB is trading below fair value, on our estimates.

Goldman has a buy rating and $6.70 price target on its shares. This implies potential upside of 65% for investors from current levels.
