Sector heavyweights outperformed in FY25

The fastest rising ASX 200 tech shares of FY25 are among the top 7 stocks by market capitalisation within the sector.

1. Technology One Ltd (ASX: TNE)

Enterprise software company TechnologyOne was the top share within the tech sector for share price growth in FY25.

Technology One shares ripped by 121% to close at $41.01 apiece on 30 June.

As my colleague James reports, TechnologyOne has a high-margin SaaS platform.

Most of its revenue comes from sticky customers in the government, education, and utility sectors. This provides both annual recurring revenue (ARR) and defensive earnings, which James points out is a rare combination in the tech sector.

UBS has a buy rating on TechnologyOne's shares with a 12-month share price target of $42.20.

2. Life360 Inc (ASX: 360)

Family location app provider Life360 was the tech sector's second-best performer in FY25.

The Life360 share price rose by 97% to close at $32.18 on 30 June.

In a recent newsletter, Blackwattle Large Cap Quality Fund portfolio managers Ray David and Joe Koh said Life360 has a bright outlook.

Greater penetration of both the US and global markets provides long-term growth opportunities for the company, along with a nascent advertising revenue stream and new categories for aged care and pet tracking.

And while still early in its growth trajectory, the company has already become cash flow positive, proving up its viability.

3. Codan Ltd (ASX: CDA)

Electronics solutions provider Codan is next on the top-performing ASX 200 tech shares list.

Codan designs and manufactures electronics solutions for government, corporate, NGO, and consumer clients worldwide.

The Codan share price lifted 67% to finish the financial year at $20.11.

This exceeded many brokers' recent price targets.

4. Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO)

Cloud-based accounting software provider Xero had a great year, with the share price rising 32% to $179.80.

In the final week of FY25, Xero announced the $2.5 billion acquisition of the US-based Melio bill payments platform.

As of March 2025, Melio had annualised revenue of US$187 million. Xero hopes the acquisition will help it grow in the US market.

UBS has a buy rating on this ASX 200 tech share with a 12-month price target of $215.

5. Megaport Ltd (ASX: MP1)

Megaport provides cloud and data centre connectivity services via a global network-as-a-service (NaaS) platform.

This ASX 200 tech share is benefiting from rising demand for data centres and artificial intelligence.

The Megaport share price ascended 29% to $14.44 in FY25.

Morgans has an accumulate rating on Megaport shares.

The broker has a 12-month target of $15.50 on this ASX 200 tech share.
