The ASX share market has seen major volatility since the end of February 2026. There are opportunities worth sniffing out.
If I had $7,000 to invest in a couple of ideas today, there are a few I'd want to highlight.
But, the two below are particularly appealing, and I'm calling them buys today.

Tuas Ltd (ASX: TUA)
Tuas is a leading ASX telecommunications share that's based in Singapore, and it's rapidly expanding its market share in the country.
In the FY26 half-year result, Tuas reported that its active mobile services increased by 21.5% to 1.41 million, helping revenue grow by 25.5% to $73.2 million, and underlying operating profit (EBITDA) rose by 27.2% (excluding its cost related to the ongoing acquisition of Singapore competitor M1). The company is winning subscribers with its focus on providing great value.
Thanks to the telco's operating leverage, the business is seeing its profit margins improve. The underlying EBITDA margin rose from 45% to 46%, meaning that additional revenue dollars are increasingly valuable and can help its bottom line grow at a faster pace, which is a key driver of the Tuas share price.
The Tuas share price has declined by around 20% since 23 January 2026, making it much better value.
While the business still has a very small broadband subscriber base, it's starting to gain some traction there. In HY26, broadband subscribers jumped 220% to 46,133.
In the next few years, I'm expecting its market share and profit margins to continue to increase as its subscriber base grows, particularly once the M1 acquisition settles and if the ASX share expands into other countries.
I expect its profits will rise significantly in the coming years under the excellent stewardship of David Teoh.
VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)
Another investment I want to highlight is this exchange-traded fund (ETF) that focuses on quality US businesses.
One of the main things that keeps a business ahead of others is its competitive advantage (an economic moat), which can take many forms. I'm thinking of things like intellectual property, cost advantages, network effects, brand power, and so on.
When a competitive advantage allows a business to make good profits year after year, it means they have a strong economic moat.
The MOAT ETF seeks businesses that Morningstar analysts believe will almost certainly have competitive advantages that last for at least 20 years, giving them excellent longevity to generate strong profits.
But it's not just a portfolio of great businesses. Morningstar has judged these businesses to be trading at an attractive valuation, which I think makes them an appealing option for potentially outperforming the local and global share markets.
According to VanEck, the MOAT ETF has returned an average of 13.6% per year since it started in June 2015.
