While many international technology companies have enjoyed big gains in 2026 on the back of the AI buildout, ASX technology shares have struggled. 

Year-to-date, the S&P ASX All Technology Index (ASX: XTX) has fallen almost 20%. 

There have been a couple major headwinds that have put pressure on the sector. 

Higher interest rates and bond yields have impacted sentiment on future growth, while concerns about AI disrupting traditional software business models have also hit valuations. 

The sell-off has been amplified because many Australian tech stocks entered 2026 on relatively high valuations, so even companies reporting solid earnings growth have experienced sharp share-price declines.

However these factors have now created an enticing value opportunity for several ASX technology shares. 

Here are three worth considering.

WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)

WiseTech shares are currently trading near 52-week lows at around $31 per share. 

The company provides logistics software that aims to improve the world's supply chains. WiseTech's software solutions, including its flagship CargoWise One solution, are now used by the top 25 global freight forwarders, including Toll and DHL.

The share price is down a significant 68% in the last 12 months. 

However, there is reason to be optimistic. 

The bull case for a WiseTech bounceback is that the market may be underestimating the durability and profitability of CargoWise. 

Morgans currently has a price target of $62.50. 

That would be a 100% rise from current levels for the ASX technology stock. 

Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO)

Xero is another ASX technology stock that may have been oversold.

It offers cloud-based, accounting software for small to medium businesses. It is a subscription-based service offering monthly plans at various price points.

After being hit hard by AI replacement fears, it now sits at around $60 per share, down 60% from a year ago. 

Brokers targets are hovering around an average price of $111 per share. 

If this ASX technology stock were to reach this figure, it would be a rise of 85%. 

Betashares S&P ASX Australian Technology ETF (ASX: ATEC)

Another option for investors aiming to buy low on the Australian technology sector is this ASX ETF. 

It has fallen by 36% in the last 12 months.

The ETF provides exposure to leading ASX-listed companies across tech-related market segments such as information technology, consumer electronics, online retail, and medical technology.

It offers a more diversified option for investors looking to buy low, without having to pick individual bounce-back candidates.
