Experts say it's time to sell these ASX 200 tech shares after strong price growth.
Wisetech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)
On The Bull this week, Tony Locantro from Alto Capital revealed a sell rating on the biggest ASX 200 tech share on the market.
Locantro notes that Wisetech recently completed the $US2.1 billion acquisition of US-based company, e2open.
Wisetech funded the acquisition with a new debt syndicated facility.
The analyst has watched Wisetech shares rise strongly from $74.83 on 4 April to $112.98 at the time of writing.
It may be time to lock in those gains, he says.
Locantro comments:
WiseTech was recently trading on a lofty price/earnings ratio of 124 times.
Share price strength creates an opportunity to lock in some profits.
Megaport Ltd (ASX: MP1)
Megaport provides network-as-a-service solutions to help businesses connect with cloud service providers.
Arthur Garipoli from Seneca Financial Solutions has a sell rating on Megaport shares.
Megaport shares have risen from $8.66 on 7 April to trade above $15 this month.
Garipoli reckons it may be time to take some profits off the table.
He comments:
The company has guided to increasing revenue in fiscal year 2026 due to new products and greater market penetration via an increasing sales team.
However, in our view, it appears such a positive outlook has been priced into the stock.
Any delays or issues to fiscal year 2027 sales plans is likely to be punished by the market.
We suggest investors consider taking profits while the share price exhibits strength.
The ASX 200 tech share is $14.01 at the time of writing, down 2.2%.
