When markets get choppy, many investors sit on the sidelines waiting for conditions to get better.
But long-term wealth is built by doing the opposite, buying high-quality stocks when uncertainty drags their share prices lower.
Right now, two ASX giants have been sold off heavily in 2025, despite continuing to strengthen their underlying businesses.
If I had $2,000 to put to work today, these ASX stocks would be at the top of my list.

CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL)
It is not often Australia's biotech champion trades at this kind of discount. CSL shares are down sharply this year, falling close to 40% from their peak as investors react to slower margin recovery at CSL Behring, uncertainty around the planned spin-off of Seqirus, and noise surrounding potential US tariffs.
But despite this, the underlying fundamentals remain strong. CSL continues to benefit from rising global demand for plasma-derived therapies, with long-term demographic and healthcare trends firmly in its favour. Its pipeline is expanding, its US manufacturing investment is progressing, and the company remains one of the most profitable and resilient healthcare businesses in the world.
Importantly, CSL's valuation has reset to levels not seen in a decade. At roughly 20x earnings, the stock is trading at a meaningful discount to its historical averages. Unsurprisingly, many major brokers now see significant upside, with price targets far above current levels.
For example, UBS has a buy rating and $275.00 price target on its shares, which implies potential upside of 50%.
WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)
Another ASX stock that could be a great option for a $2,000 investment is WiseTech Global. It has also experienced a rare pullback in 2025, despite continuing to strengthen its position as one of the world's most important logistics software companies.
Its CargoWise platform is embedded across global supply chains, used by many of the largest freight forwarders and logistics operators across Europe, Asia and North America.
The company's recurring revenue model, sticky customer base, and history of disciplined acquisitions have made it one of the ASX's most consistent tech performers over the past decade. And with global freight complexity increasing, WiseTech's software is becoming more essential, not less.
Despite this, the share price has been volatile this year and that volatility offers an attractive entry point according to many brokers.
Morgans is one of them. It has a buy rating and $127.60 price target on the company's shares.
