Aristocrat Leisure Ltd (ASX: ALL)

The first tech stock that could be a buy is Aristocrat Leisure.

Aristocrat Leisure is a leading gaming technology company that designs, manufactures, and supplies gaming content and technology. This includes electronic gaming machines and casino management systems.

Bell Potter is bullish on the ASX 200 tech stock. This is due to its leading R&D investment and the prospect of further market share gains. It also highlights the strength of its balance sheet and the optionality this provides. The broker said:

We continue to expect ALL's leading R&D investment will drive share gains in each of the markets it operates in. The success of Phoenix Link, which is growing at record levels, is one such example of ALL's R&D flywheel expected to bear fruits in the near term. Furthermore, we anticipate ALL will post close to a $0 net debt position by September 2025, notable given current buybacks and a target leverage ratio of 1.0-2.0x, highlighting ALL's balance sheet optionality.

Bell Potter currently has a buy rating and $79.00 price target on its shares.

Megaport Ltd (ASX: MP1)

Megaport is another exciting ASX 200 tech stock to consider for a $2,000 investment.

It is a network as a service company that helps businesses connect quickly and securely to major cloud service providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.

As global demand for cloud computing, AI workloads, and digital transformation continues to surge, Megaport is right in the middle of that trend.

The team at Macquarie is very positive on the company's outlook and believes it is reaching an inflection point in growth. It commented:

Megaport (MP1) is reinforcing network effects through scale (~7.4% more DCs than Equinix Fabric), brand & product. Moreover, recent channel reinvestment in US reinforces this. […] Cloud costs and AI are driving Enterprises to rearchitect networks, particularly in Hybrid & Multicloud. MP1's Cloud Network Report shows early evidence in Private Interconnection growth.

Top-line is stabilised, with new customer logo growth a strong positive signal. Reinvestment in growth will drive top-line acceleration out of FY26. Product roadmap suggests MP1 will move more into software with edge compute, driving higher long-term margins.

Macquarie has an outperform rating and $18.50 price target on Megaport's shares.
