Key points

  • TechnologyOne's robust recurring revenue and unwavering customer base across key sectors make its current low valuation an attractive opportunity for growth-focused investors.
  • Despite a significant price drop, WiseTech continues to show strong customer acquisition and global expansion with its indispensable CargoWise software, poised for recovery if sentiment shifts.
  • Xero's substantial market potential and ongoing success in cloud accounting present a promising opportunity, with its recent share price dip potentially offering a valuable entry point for investors.

The past year has not been kind to some of the ASX's highest-quality technology shares.

Concerns over interest rates and warnings about an AI bubble have dragged several tech leaders sharply lower. But while prices have fallen, their underlying businesses remain strong, profitable, and positioned for long-term growth.

For investors willing to look beyond the short-term noise, three standout ASX 200 tech shares now look far too cheap relative to their long-term potential.

TechnologyOne Ltd (ASX: TNE)

TechnologyOne shares have slipped 30% from their high, but the business itself has barely missed a beat. It continues to deliver double-digit recurring revenue growth, near-perfect customer retention, and expanding profit margins.

TechnologyOne's software powers universities, councils, and government agencies across Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. These are customers that do not switch providers easily, which gives it one of the stickiest and most predictable revenue bases in the market. So much so, management is confident that it can double in size every five years.

Despite this, its share price has been dragged down by the broader tech selloff and appears to have created a very attractive buying opportunity for patient buy and hold investors. Especially given the long runway of cloud migration ahead. Overall, TechnologyOne looks far too cheap for a business of its quality.

WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)

WiseTech shares have fallen a massive 46% from their high this year, despite the business continuing to win new customers, grow revenue, and expand globally.

WiseTech's flagship product, CargoWise, is used by the world's biggest freight forwarders, logistics groups, and supply chain operators. It is deeply embedded into customer workflows, which creates incredibly sticky, recurring revenue. Even during economic slowdowns, logistics networks still need mission-critical software.

The company has a long track record of compounding earnings, improving margins, and securing multi-year enterprise contracts. Very few ASX 200 tech shares enjoy this level of competitive dominance or profitability.

The share price, however, does not reflect that. But if sentiment toward tech rebounds in 2026, WiseTech could easily be one of the strongest performers on the market.

Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO)

Another ASX 200 tech share that has fallen heavily is Xero. Its shares are currently 38% below their 52-week high, even though the company continues to deliver strong growth and expand globally. Across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and North America, Xero remains one of the most successful cloud accounting platforms in the world.

The company now generates more than NZ$2.7 billion in annualised monthly recurring revenue from 4.59 million subscribers, yet it has only penetrated a small portion of its estimated 100-million-business global addressable market. That is a huge runway for long-term expansion.

It has also made a major acquisition in the US, to support its expansion in that key market. Overall, for long-term investors, today's lower share price may prove to be a gift.
