The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) closed 1.9% lower on Tuesday. Over the past month, this means the index has dropped, shedding 562.8 points. Leading the declines was the technology sector, with a 4.3% fall at the close of trade.
While ASX 200 tech shares dwindled yesterday, there are still some shares that present significant upside for investors with a longer-term view.
Here are my three picks.

Wisetech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)
Wisetech shares closed 1.5% lower on Tuesday at $62.63 a piece. The latest decline dragged the logistic software company's stock 24.52% lower, and the share price is now 54.9% below this time last year.
The good news is that analysts are still very bullish on the beaten-down stock and think the latest price drops present a great buying opportunity for investors.
Just yesterday, the team at DP Wealth Advisory named the beaten-down tech stock as a buy this week. The broker said that long-term fundamentals and market leadership support a compelling buying opportunity for patient investors.
They're not the only ones, either; Bell Potter and Morgans also have a buy rating on the stock.
TradingView data shows that out of 18 analysts, 12 have a buy or strong buy rating on the ASX 200 tech share, while the remaining 6 have a hold rating. The maximum target price is as high as $177.97, which, at the time of writing, implies a potential 184.2% upside over the next 12 months.
Wisetech shares were among the most traded last week.
Xero Limited (ASX: XRO)
Another hot ASX 200 tech stock which is tipped to soar over the next 12 months is Xero. Its share price closed 2.2% lower yesterday afternoon at $118.25 a piece. This means the stock has now shed 23.5% of its value over the month, and is down 33.2% over the year.
Investors have reacted cautiously to the company's latest FY26 interim results, announced last week. And they're still reeling from news of Xero's US$2.5 billion acquisition of US-based Melio in July.
But analysts think investors have overreacted. On Monday, Macquarie said it thinks the market has it wrong on Xero shares. It added that its newly acquired Melio business is performing on track, and with the deal closing earlier than expected, the company could start cross-selling products as soon as December.
Macquarie has an outperform rating and $230.30 12-month target price on Xero shares. At the time of writing, this implies a potential 94.8% upside for investors.
Technology One Limited (ASX: TNE)
Technology One shares suffered a dramatic sell-off by investors yesterday, shedding 11.3% of their value at the close of the ASX, down to $29.26 a piece. Over the month, this means the stock has dropped 26.7%, and is 0.65% lower than a year ago.
The decline followed the company's full-year earnings. The company reported strong financials and revenue growth, but it looks like investors weren't happy with its lack of future growth projections.
Analysts are still optimistic about the company's outlook, though, with some predicting a strong upside ahead. TradingView data shows that out of 15 analysts, 8 still have a buy or strong buy rating on the stock. The maximum upside is as high as $46.66, which implies a 59.5% upside for investors at the time of writing.
