Watch These 5 Potential ASX Companies That Will be a Game Changer in 2021

The year 2020 has been very turbulent for businesses and it is expected that with the rollout of the vaccines, much of this volatility and uncertainty is going to reduce, thereby allowing startups and upcoming companies to claim their space in a more conducive environment.

In this article, we are going to look at 5 upcoming companies in the ASX that are worth watching. This does not necessarily mean that these companies are going to make it big but they may just do it. Our analysis is going to be based on publicly available data and opinions of market experts.

1. Aristocrat Leisure

Aristocrat leisure is based in the tech sector, it is a company that focuses on the gaming industry. First of all, the gaming industry is a very hot industry at the moment. With the launch of PS5 and other gaming consoles, in addition to the games already available on other devices, the gaming industry is not going anywhere anytime soon.

2020 has been lukewarm at best for Aristocrat Leisure (ALL), the share price graph below shows how the share price for ALL has behaved throughout 2020. ALL started 2020 on a high note and it reached its all time high price of AUD 38.32 in February-March before the markets crashed in March.

Although the market crash dealt a heavy blow to ALL`s stock price, it recovered steadily throughout the year and is currently trading close to AUD 30, which was its high point before the markets crashed.

ALL has a market capitalisation of AUD 19.6 billion, which is quite impressive for a young company. In addition to this the P/E ratio is something investors will be interested in. The share price is around AUD 30 but the P/E ratio is 75 which shows that the market has overvalued ALL`s share price.

This simply means that the shares of ALL are trading far more than they are worth. This is not bad, this means that the market has got great expectations from ALL in the future, which is why the market is showing trust.

2. Alcidion Group Ltd

Experts are of the opinion that Alcidion group can worth watching closely in 2021. The company got its IPO as a reverse takeover in 2016, which makes it a small cap company as of now. Even though it is a small cap company, it is already overtaking the competitors in the bio tech sector.

The share price graph for Alcidion Group (ALC) shows that the company has had a optimum year to say the best.

Although the share price reached its high of AUD 0.24 in February – March but it crashed when the global markets crashed and has since then recovered. The last major spike in share prices occurred in October-November, spurred by the news of the vaccine roll out. At present the share price has recovered significantly.
