<p>Some <strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 Index</strong> (ASX: XJO) shares have fallen heavily over the past year, and I think that has created a more attractive <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/understanding-risk-vs-reward/">risk/reward</a> setup for patient investors.   </p>



<p>The two ASX 200 shares in this article are both down around 40%. That does not make them risk-free, but I think their long-term growth opportunities remain compelling. </p>



<p>Here's why I think they could be worth a closer look today. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-rea-group-ltd-asx-rea"><strong>REA Group Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-rea/">ASX: REA</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>REA Group shares are down around 40% from their 52-week high.</p>



<p>That is a big fall for one of the highest-quality digital businesses on the ASX. But I think the underlying investment case remains attractive. </p>



<p>REA owns realestate.com.au, Australia's dominant <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/investing-in-property/">property</a> platform. Its strength comes from the network effect between buyers, renters, sellers, agents, developers, advertisers, and lenders.</p>



<p>Property buyers want to search where the most listings are. Agents want to advertise where the most serious buyers are. That creates a powerful loop that can be difficult for competitors to break. </p>



<p>You only need to look at its <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/05/08/rea-group-shares-q3-revenue-climbs-and-user-engagement-breaks-records/">third-quarter results</a> to see that the platform is still attracting huge audiences. REA reported record Australian audiences in the March quarter, with 12.9 million average monthly visitors and 150 million average monthly visits.</p>



<p>I like REA because it can grow in several ways over time. It can increase the value of property listings through premium products, help agents use more data and insights, deepen its mortgage and financial services opportunity, and improve the consumer experience with better digital tools. </p>



<p>Artificial intelligence could also help REA build better search, richer property insights, smarter agent tools, and more useful experiences for buyers and sellers. </p>



<p>The main risk is valuation. REA shares have rarely been cheap, and the property market can still affect listings and sentiment. But a 40% fall makes the equation more interesting for patient investors. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>SiteMinder Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>SiteMinder shares have fallen around 40% over the past 12 months.</p>



<p>This is a very different business from REA, but I think the long-term idea is also attractive.</p>



<p>SiteMinder provides hotel commerce <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/technology/">technology</a>. Its platform helps hotels manage bookings, distribution channels, room rates, inventory, and revenue opportunities across a fragmented travel ecosystem. </p>



<p>Hotels need to sell rooms across multiple channels at the right price while avoiding mistakes such as overbooking or pricing errors. That becomes more complicated as online travel agents, direct bookings, metasearch, wholesalers, and emerging <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/ai-shares-asx/">AI</a>-driven channels all play a role. </p>



<p>SiteMinder sits in the middle of that complexity, and stands to benefit as more channels, more dynamic pricing, and more automation increase the need for reliable software that keeps inventory and pricing synchronised.</p>



<p>That does not make SiteMinder risk-free. The company still needs to keep executing on its strategy and delivering profitable growth.</p>



<p>But after a 40% share price fall, I think the risk-reward balance looks more attractive than it did. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-foolish-takeaway"><strong>Foolish Takeaway</strong> </h2>



<p>Investing $1,000 into either of these ASX 200 shares will not suit everyone. REA and SiteMinder are growth-focused businesses, and both can remain volatile if investors become more cautious.</p>



<p>But I think both have strong long-term characteristics. REA has a dominant property platform with multiple ways to increase customer value, while SiteMinder is gaining a growing role in the global hotel technology stack.</p>



<p>A 40% fall does not guarantee a rebound, but it does create a better entry point for investors willing to look past short-term share price pain and focus on what these businesses could become over the next five to 10 years.</p>

<p>Some ASX shares could have the potential to deliver significant returns according to analysts.</p>



<p>Brokers are always on the lookout for opportunities that could be substantially undervalued.</p>



<p>We're going to look at two businesses that could be among the most compelling ideas right now, if analysts end up being right. But, price targets are not guarantees that positive returns will become reality.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-siteminder-ltd-asx-sdr">Siteminder Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>)</h2>



<p>This <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/technology/">ASX tech share</a> provides software to hotels to help them operate and generate revenue.</p>



<p>Siteminder has generated significant revenue growth in the last few years and it continues to do so. Analysts have put exciting price targets on the business, which suggest it could deliver great returns in the year ahead.</p>



<p>According to CMC Invest, of 11 recent analyst ratings, the average price target is $5.99, implying a possible rise of 111% from the current level, at the time of writing.</p>



<p>The company is rolling out its smart platform to subscribers, who may see a significant rise in revenue and efficiencies if they sign up for certain tools, while Siteminder gains significantly more revenue.</p>



<p>In the <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/announcements/2026-02-25/2a1655621/h1fy26-investor-presentation/">FY26 half-year result</a>, Siteminder said channels plus grew to around 7,000 hotels, with ongoing progress in inventory optimisation and expanding distribution use cases. Dynamic revenue plus saw accelerating adoption, with over 20,000 rooms now under management, while the smart distribution program "broadened its impact across distribution partners".</p>



<p>On top of all of the above, along with its normal organic client wins, it saw <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/arr/">annualised recurring revenue (ARR)</a> grow 29.7% to $280.3 million.</p>



<p>The business is also seeing rising profit margins, which bodes very well for the future, in my view.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-xero-ltd-asx-xro">Xero Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/">ASX: XRO</a>)</h2>



<p>Another ASX share I'll highlight is Xero, an accounting software and business operations company.</p>



<p>It recently announced its <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/announcements/2026-05-14/3a693262/fy26-annual-results-investor-presentation/">FY26 half-year result</a>, which included a 27% decline of <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/npat/">net profit</a> partly due to Melio acquisition costs.</p>



<p>Other metrics were positive, including 31% operating revenue growth, 37% annualised monthly recurring revenue (AMRR) growth and 24% growth of operating profit (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/ebitda/">EBITDA</a>).</p>



<p>The ASX share is investing heavily in AI features for subscribers, which could be key for maintaining and winning additional customers to its subscriber base.</p>



<p>While it may take some time for Melio to be embedded into the business, it could be essential if Xero is to succeed in the US. </p>



<p>According to CMC Invest, there have been nine recent ratings on the business, with an average price target of $124.52. That implies a possible rise of around 60% within the next year, at the time of writing.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>If I had $5,000 to invest across ASX tech stocks today, I would want a mix of proven quality, <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/arr/">recurring revenue</a>, and long-term upside.</p>



<p>Technology shares can move around sharply, especially when investors are worried about valuations, interest rates, or <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/ai-shares-asx/">artificial intelligence (AI)</a>. But I still think the right companies can be excellent long-term investments.</p>



<p>Rather than putting the full amount into one stock, I would spread it across three different ASX tech names: <strong>Pro</strong> <strong>Medicus Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-pme/">ASX: PME</a>), <strong>SiteMinder Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>), and <strong>Megaport Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-mp1/">ASX: MP1</a>).</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-pro-medicus-shares-2-000"><strong>Pro Medicus shares: $2,000</strong></h2>



<p>I would put the largest slice into Pro Medicus.</p>



<p>This is the quality anchor of the group, in my opinion. The company provides medical imaging software used by hospitals, radiologists, and healthcare networks. That might sound niche, but it is a critical part of modern healthcare.</p>



<p>What I like is how deeply embedded Pro Medicus can become once it wins a customer. Medical imaging systems need to be fast, reliable, and able to handle huge volumes of data. Hospitals cannot afford disruption in that part of the workflow.</p>



<p>That gives the business a strong position.</p>



<p>I also think Pro Medicus still has a significant runway in the US healthcare market. It has already won major customers, but the opportunity remains much larger than its current footprint.</p>



<p>The risk is valuation. Pro Medicus often trades on a premium <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/p-e-ratio/">PE ratio</a>, so I would not expect it to be immune from pullbacks. But if I were investing with a 5-to-10-year mindset, I would still want exposure to this type of high-margin healthcare technology business.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>SiteMinder shares: $1,500</strong></h2>



<p>I would then put $1,500 into SiteMinder.</p>



<p>This is a different kind of software story. SiteMinder helps hotels manage bookings, distribution, and revenue across multiple channels.</p>



<p>I think the appeal here is the size and fragmentation of the hotel industry.</p>



<p>Many hotels still need better digital tools to compete. They need to manage direct bookings, online travel agents, pricing, availability, and customer demand across different markets. SiteMinder sits inside that process.</p>



<p>What makes the business interesting to me is that it does not need to dominate one country to win. Its opportunity is global.</p>



<p>If SiteMinder can keep adding properties, increasing revenue per customer, and improving its platform, I think earnings could grow meaningfully over time.</p>



<p>It is still a developing business, so execution risk is higher than with Pro Medicus. But I like the combination of recurring revenue, global reach, and a large addressable market.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Megaport shares: $1,500</strong></h2>



<p>The final $1,500 would go into Megaport.</p>



<p>Megaport gives this mini portfolio exposure to digital infrastructure. The company provides network-as-a-service technology, allowing customers to connect quickly and flexibly to cloud providers, data centres, and other digital services.</p>



<p>I think this is becoming more relevant as businesses use multiple clouds, move data between environments, and build more complex digital systems.</p>



<p>Megaport is not simply selling connectivity. It is selling flexibility.</p>



<p>That could become increasingly valuable as cloud adoption, artificial intelligence workloads, and global data usage continue to expand.</p>



<p>The company's <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2025/11/11/megaport-announces-220-million-capital-raise-to-bankroll-a-major-acquisition/">Latitude.sh acquisition</a> also adds an interesting layer. It gives Megaport exposure to bare metal cloud infrastructure, which could broaden its role in helping customers manage demanding workloads.</p>



<p>This is the more speculative pick of the three, but I think the upside is attractive if adoption continues to build.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Foolish takeaway</strong></h2>



<p>If I were investing $5,000 across ASX tech stocks, I would split it between quality, global software, and digital infrastructure.</p>



<p>Pro Medicus would be my largest position because of its profitability and strong niche in healthcare technology. SiteMinder would give me exposure to the global hotel software market. Megaport would add a higher-upside infrastructure angle.</p>



<p>Together, I think they offer a useful blend of resilience and growth potential for patient investors.</p>

<p>ASX shares with the ability to expand the most in the next five years could be great investments because of their future profit potential.</p>



<p>The three businesses I want to highlight are relatively small, are growing at a fast pace, and are delivering rising profit margins.</p>



<p>I'm very bullish on what the below businesses could achieve in the coming years. This is why I'm already a shareholder and would happily buy more.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-siteminder-ltd-asx-sdr">Siteminder Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>)</h2>



<p>Siteminder provides software to hotels around the world to help them with their operations and generate the most revenue from their rooms, including one offering that enables Siteminder to change room prices throughout the year on behalf of the hotel to maximise earnings and occupancy.</p>



<p>The global digitalisation trend is a very useful tailwind for Siteminder. It's winning thousands of hotels from around the world as subscribers, with a recent focus on larger hotels.</p>



<p>Siteminder has a goal of increasing its <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/arr/">annual recurring revenue (ARR)</a> at 30% per year, which is an excellent goal. While it's not quite there, revenue is currently rising at more than 20% per year through winning new subscribers and increasing its average revenue per user (ARPU) through selling additional modules.</p>



<p>The business is also seeing rising profit margins thanks to the operating leverage of software because costs aren't increasing at the same pace.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-guzman-y-gomez-ltd-asx-gyg">Guzman Y Gomez Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-gyg/">ASX: GYG</a>)</h2>



<p>GYG is a Mexican food business with big ambitions in both Australia and internationally.</p>



<p>The ASX share is aiming to quadruple its Australian network to around 1,000 locations within the next 20 years. It's currently adding around 30 locations annually with a goal to increase that rate in the coming years.</p>



<p>Guzman Y Gomez is currently seeing total network sales growth of around 20% year-over-year thanks to both more restaurants and mid-single-digit comparable sales growth.</p>



<p>It currently has a presence in Singapore, Japan and US, with the Asian markets delivering pleasing double-digit growth. The key market of Australia is growing strongly, and the international markets are a compelling bonus.</p>



<p>As a bonus, the business is paying a <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/dividend/">dividend</a>, so it could deliver pleasing passive income in the coming years. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-tuas-ltd-asx-tua">Tuas Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-tua/">ASX: TUA</a>)</h2>



<p>Tuas is a Singapore-based telecommunications business focused on providing mobile services.</p>



<p>The company grew its active mobile services by 21.7% to 1.4 million in the <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-tua/announcements/2026-03-25/2a1662162/investor-presentation-hy2026/">FY26 half-year result</a>. Revenue also rose by 26% to $91.9 million and underlying operating profit (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/ebitda/">EBITDA</a>) increased 27% to $42.1 million.</p>



<p>As you can see, the business is growing at a strong double-digit rate. This is rapidly increasing its intrinsic value, particularly as its underlying profit margins are increasing.</p>



<p>Excitingly, Tuas is acquiring a Singaporean competitor called M1 which will add significant profit generation to the overall business and remove one of its main competitors from the market. </p>



<p>Additionally, in the coming years, I'm hopeful it will expand into other Asian neighbour countries which could expand its addressable market. Over the long-term, I think it could become a sizeable player in the South East Asia.</p>

<p>The tech sector has been under pressure this year, and some former market favourites have fallen a long way from their highs.</p>



<p>But I think that can create opportunities when the business is still growing, improving, and building a stronger platform for the future.</p>



<p>One ASX tech share that looks interesting to me today is <strong>SiteMinder Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>).</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-big-fall-from-the-highs"><strong>A big fall from the highs</strong></h2>



<p>SiteMinder shares are trading at $3.14 on Friday.</p>



<p>That compares to a 52-week high of $7.96, meaning the share price is down around 60% from that level.</p>



<p>A fall like that should not be ignored. It tells me the market has become far more cautious on the stock, whether because of valuation pressure, weaker sentiment toward <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/technology/">technology</a> shares, or concerns about how long it will take for the company to prove its growth story.</p>



<p>But it also means investors today are looking at the business from a very different starting point.</p>



<p>At $3.14, a $3,000 investment would buy around 955 shares. At its high, it would have only bought around 377 shares.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Why I like the business</strong></h2>



<p>SiteMinder provides hotel commerce technology.</p>



<p>Its platform helps accommodation providers manage distribution, bookings, pricing, revenue, and connections across different online channels and hotel systems.</p>



<p>I think that is an attractive niche.</p>



<p>Hotels are operating in a more complex world. They need to manage direct bookings, online travel agencies, wholesalers, metasearch, pricing changes, availability, and guest demand across multiple markets.</p>



<p>That is a lot for independent and mid-market hotels to handle.</p>



<p>SiteMinder sits in the middle of that complexity. In my view, that gives the company an important role in the hotel technology stack.</p>



<p>The company's recent <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/announcements/2026-02-25/2a1655621/h1fy26-investor-presentation/">investor presentation</a> showed it had 53,000 properties on the platform, more than 2.5 million rooms, 450-plus distribution partners, and annual activity of more than 135 million reservations. It also highlighted more than $85 billion of gross booking value across the platform.</p>



<p>Those numbers suggest to me that SiteMinder already has meaningful scale.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The growth story is still alive</strong></h2>



<p>What I like most is that SiteMinder is not just adding customers. It is also trying to increase the value it earns from each customer.</p>



<p>The company's Smart Platform strategy is central to that.</p>



<p>This includes initiatives such as Smart Distribution, Channels Plus, and Dynamic Revenue Plus. The aim is to help hotels make better revenue decisions, improve distribution, and automate more of the process.</p>



<p>I think this is important because it gives SiteMinder more ways to grow than simply signing up new hotels.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Strong metrics</strong></h2>



<p>With its <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/02/25/siteminder-smart-platform-powers-h1fy26-growth/">half-year results</a>, the company reported <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/arr/">annual recurring revenue</a> growth of 27.4%, total revenue growth of 23%, and adjusted EBITDA of $12.3 million, which more than doubled from the prior corresponding period.</p>



<p>It also reported monthly revenue churn of 1%, average revenue per user (ARPU) growth of 11.3%, and LTV/CAC of 6.7 times.</p>



<p>Those are the kinds of metrics I want to see from a software business. They suggest customers are valuable, acquisition economics are improving, and the company is becoming more efficient as it scales.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>AI could be an advantage</strong></h2>



<p>I also think SiteMinder is an interesting <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/ai-shares-asx/">artificial intelligence (AI)</a>-related stock, but not in the obvious hype-driven way.</p>



<p>AI could make hotel distribution and pricing even more complex. More dynamic pricing, more personalised offers, and more AI-driven discovery could increase the need for reliable systems that keep inventory, rates, and channels synchronised.</p>



<p>That is where SiteMinder's infrastructure could become more valuable.</p>



<p>The company argues that AI increases complexity and raises the cost of errors. I think that makes sense. Hotels cannot afford overbookings, incorrect rates, or broken distribution links.</p>



<p>If SiteMinder can use AI to improve insights, automate workflows, and help hotels capture more revenue, then the Smart Platform could become a more important part of the business over time.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Foolish takeaway</strong></h2>



<p>SiteMinder is not risk-free.</p>



<p>The share price has fallen heavily, tech sentiment remains fragile, and the company still needs to keep proving that its Smart Platform strategy can turn strong activity levels into durable earnings growth.</p>



<p>But I think the ingredients are attractive.</p>



<p>The business has scale, recurring revenue, improving profitability, strong unit economics, and a large opportunity to monetise more of the hotel bookings flowing through its platform.</p>



<p>After a 60% fall from its 52-week high, I think a $3,000 investment in SiteMinder shares could be a worthwhile move for investors who are comfortable with growth stock volatility and willing to take a long-term view.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>I think it's a great idea to look at compelling <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/growth-shares-2/">ASX growth shares</a> after their share price has heavily declined because the future <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/p-e-ratio/">price/earnings (P/E) ratio</a> is typically much lower.</p>



<p>I'm not sure about you, but I'd much rather buy an ASX share when it's trading at 40x FY27's estimated earnings than 50x FY27's estimated earnings. That's a big difference!</p>



<p>Let's look at two of the most appealing businesses on the ASX.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-siteminder-ltd-asx-sdr">Siteminder Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>)</h2>



<p>This company is behind Siteminder software, a leading hotel distribution and revenue platform, as well as Little Hotelier, which is an all-in-one hotel management software that "makes the lives of small accommodation providers easier".</p>



<p>Siteminder is a truly global business, with offices in Sydney, Bangkok, Barcelona, Berlin, Dallas, Galway, London, Manila, Mexico City and Pune.</p>



<p>Despite the ASX growth share's impressive market position and its excellent growth rate, the market has sent the Siteminder share price down by 57% in the past six months.</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="SiteMinder Price" data-ticker="ASX:SDR" data-range="1y" data-start-date="2025-05-04" data-end-date="2026-05-04" data-comparison-value=""></div>



<p>The <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/announcements/2026-02-25/2a1655621/h1fy26-investor-presentation/">FY26 half-year result</a> saw <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/arr/">annualised recurring revenue (ARR)</a> growth of 29.7% to $280.3 million.</p>



<p>Net property additions were 2,900 during the FY26 half-year result, taking the total properties to 53,000. It's continuing its strategy of pursuing its larger hotel properties.</p>



<p>It said that average revenue per user (ARPU) increased by 11.3% to $435, with the growth driven by its smart platform initiative and rising product adoption.</p>



<p>The business is helping hotels generate the strongest levels of revenue from their available rooms throughout the year, including an offering that enables Siteminder to manage the room pricing for the subscriber.</p>



<p>It's also generating rising profit margins as its revenue increases. For example in HY26, operating profit (adjusted EBITDA) more than doubled to $12.3 million.</p>



<p>The ASX growth share is priced at just 17x FY27's estimated earnings.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-pro-medicus-ltd-asx-pme">Pro Medicus Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-pme/">ASX: PME</a>)</h2>



<p>Pro Medicus is the other ASX growth share I'll highlight because of the much cheaper valuation and earnings growth rate it's been achieving.</p>



<p>It describes itself as a leading healthcare informatics company with leading-edge medical imaging solutions. The ASX growth share offers a suite of radiology information systems (RIS), picture, archiving and communication systems (PACS), AI and e-health solutions.</p>



<p>The healthcare industry in North America and Europe is becoming increasingly digital and online, so Pro Medicus is well-placed to service this large and growing demand.</p>



<p>It has announced numerous contract wins over the last few years, including the recent five-year A$23 million contract with the University of Maryland Medical System and five-year A$37 million contract renewal with Northwestern Medicine. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Pro Medicus' numerous contract wins helped the business make $124.8 million of revenue, up 28.4% year-over-year.</p>



<p>It has an incredibly high operating profit (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/ebitda/">EBIT</a>) margin and it continues rising – in HY26, the underlying EBIT margin improved to 73%, up from 72%. This helped it grow underlying <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/npat/">profit before tax</a> by 29.7% to $90.7 million.</p>



<p>The Pro Medicus share price is down 57% since July 2025, as the chart below shows.</p>


<div class="tmf-chart-singleseries" data-title="Pro Medicus Price" data-ticker="ASX:PME" data-range="1y" data-start-date="2025-07-01" data-end-date="2026-05-04" data-comparison-value=""></div>



<p>According to the forecast on Commsec, the Pro Medicus share price is valued at 76x FY27's estimated earnings.</p>

<p>With May now underway, I think this could be a good time to look again at ASX growth shares.</p>



<p>The past few months have been rough for parts of the market. A number of high-quality growth stocks have pulled back as investors worry about valuations, <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/interest-rates/">interest rates</a>, and the potential impact of <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/ai-shares-asx/">artificial intelligence</a>.</p>



<p>But I think that kind of environment can create opportunities for investors with a longer time horizon.</p>



<p>If I had $10,000 to invest across ASX growth shares this month, these are three names I would consider.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-pro-medicus-ltd-asx-pme"><strong>Pro Medicus Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-pme/">ASX: PME</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>I would start with Pro Medicus. This healthcare technology company provides medical imaging software to hospitals, radiology groups, and healthcare networks. It is one of the highest-quality growth shares on the ASX in my opinion.</p>



<p>What I like most is the nature of the product. Medical imaging is mission-critical. Hospitals and radiologists need fast, reliable, secure systems to manage huge volumes of imaging data. Once a platform is deeply embedded, switching is not something customers are likely to do lightly.</p>



<p>That gives Pro Medicus a strong competitive position.</p>



<p>The other part I find appealing is the global opportunity.</p>



<p>The company has already won major contracts in the US, but I still think it is early in its international growth story. The US healthcare market is enormous, and Pro Medicus has only captured a small portion of what could be available over the long term.</p>



<p>For me, this is the kind of business I would be happy to own for many years, even if the valuation can be demanding at times.</p>



<p>I would consider putting around $3,500 into this one.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Hub24 Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-hub/">ASX: HUB</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>Next, I would look at Hub24. It operates an investment and wealth management platform used by financial advisers and their clients.</p>



<p>It may not sound as exciting as some technology names, but I think the growth story is very strong.</p>



<p>Australia's wealth management industry is still changing. Advisers continue to move toward modern platforms that offer better functionality, flexibility, and efficiency. Hub24 has been one of the clear winners from that shift.</p>



<p>What I like about the business is the way scale can improve the economics over time.</p>



<p>As more funds move onto the platform, revenue can rise without costs needing to grow at the same pace. That creates operating leverage, which can support stronger earnings growth over time.</p>



<p>I also think Hub24 benefits from being embedded in adviser workflows. Once advisers build their processes around a platform, it can become sticky.</p>



<p>For me, that makes Hub24 a strong structural growth story rather than just a cyclical winner.</p>



<p>I would consider investing around $4,000 here.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>SiteMinder Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>The final ASX growth share I would include is SiteMinder.</p>



<p>SiteMinder provides software for hotels, helping them manage bookings, distribution, and revenue across multiple channels.</p>



<p>The <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/travel-shares/">travel</a> industry continues to recover and evolve, and hotels increasingly need digital tools to compete. Managing rooms across online travel agents, direct bookings, and different markets is complex. SiteMinder helps simplify that process.</p>



<p>What appeals to me is the size of the global opportunity.</p>



<p>The hotel industry is highly fragmented, and many accommodation providers are still upgrading their systems. That gives SiteMinder a long runway if it can keep winning customers and expanding revenue per property.</p>



<p>It is also a business with recurring revenue characteristics, which I generally like in ASX growth shares.</p>



<p>There are risks, especially around competition and execution, but I think the long-term opportunity is attractive.</p>



<p>I would consider putting around $2,500 into SiteMinder.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Foolish takeaway</strong></h2>



<p>If I were investing $10,000 across ASX growth shares in May, I would want a mix of quality, structural growth, and long-term optionality.</p>



<p>That is why I would consider splitting it across Pro Medicus, Hub24, and SiteMinder.</p>



<p>Each business is exposed to a different part of the economy, healthcare technology, wealth platforms, and hotel software. That gives the portfolio some useful diversification while still keeping the focus on growth.</p>

<p>A $7,000 investment can go a long way if it is put into the right businesses.</p>



<p>For me, that means focusing on companies that still have room to expand and can keep building over time, rather than those that have already reached their peak.</p>



<p>Here are three ASX growth shares I would consider right now.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-megaport-ltd-asx-mp1"><strong>Megaport Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-mp1/">ASX: MP1</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>Network-as-a-service company Megaport is one growth share I'd buy.</p>



<p>What interests me is where it sits in the digital ecosystem. As more businesses shift workloads between cloud providers and data centres, the need for flexible, on-demand connectivity continues to grow. Megaport is positioned right in the middle of that.</p>



<p>Instead of building physical infrastructure for each connection, it allows customers to scale their network connections up or down as needed. That flexibility becomes more valuable as systems become more complex.</p>



<p>The company is also expanding what it can offer. Its acquisition of Latitude.sh adds bare metal infrastructure into the mix, which could deepen its role in how customers deploy and connect their workloads.</p>



<p>The key for me is adoption. As usage increases, the economics of the model tend to improve. That means revenue can build without the same level of incremental cost, which supports long-term growth potential.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>REA Group Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-rea/">ASX: REA</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>REA Group is often thought of as a mature business, but I do not see it that way.</p>



<p>It already has a strong position in Australia, though I think the growth is coming from how it continues to build on that.</p>



<p>Over time, it has found ways to increase revenue per listing, introduce new products, and deepen its role in the <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/investing-in-property/">property</a> transaction process.</p>



<p>That tells me there is still room to expand within its core market.</p>



<p>There is also the international side of the business, which does not get as much attention. As those operations develop, they could become a more meaningful contributor.</p>



<p>What I like here is that growth does not rely on one single driver. It comes from multiple smaller improvements that build over time.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>SiteMinder Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>Another ASX growth share I'd buy is SiteMinder. It operates in a niche that is becoming more important.</p>



<p>Hotels are increasingly relying on digital platforms to manage bookings, pricing, and distribution. SiteMinder provides the software that helps connect hotels to online travel agents and other booking channels.</p>



<p>What I find interesting is how this can scale. Once a hotel is using the platform, it becomes part of its daily operations. That creates stickiness and <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/arr/">recurring revenue</a>.</p>



<p>At the same time, the company still has a large number of hotels globally that are yet to adopt this type of <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/technology/">technology</a>. That leaves room for expansion.</p>



<p>As more properties come onto the platform and existing customers use more features, revenue can build in layers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Foolish takeaway</strong></h2>



<p>If I were investing $7,000 into ASX growth shares today, I would focus on businesses that have clear pathways to expand.</p>



<p>I think all three in this article tick this box and have the potential to deliver good returns in the coming years.</p>

<p>Finding ASX shares that can genuinely scale over time is not always easy. </p>



<p>A lot of companies talk about big opportunities, but only a handful actually build the foundations needed to turn that potential into long-term growth.  </p>



<p>I think the most compelling opportunities tend to have strong platforms, expanding markets, and clear ways to grow beyond where they are today. </p>



<p>Here are three ASX shares I think fit that description right now: </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-siteminder-ltd-asx-sdr"><strong>SiteMinder Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>SiteMinder has built a global platform that sits at the centre of hotel bookings and distribution.</p>



<p>What I like about this business is that it is not just growing by adding more customers. It is also increasing how much revenue it earns from each customer through additional products and services. </p>



<p>As the <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/travel-shares/">travel</a> industry becomes more complex, hotels need better tools to manage pricing, distribution, and demand across multiple channels. SiteMinder is positioning itself as that core infrastructure layer. </p>



<p>I think the long-term opportunity here comes from deeper monetisation. If the company continues to expand its product suite and increase adoption across its customer base, revenue can grow even without a dramatic increase in customer numbers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Megaport Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-mp1/">ASX: MP1</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>Megaport is building a global network platform that connects businesses to cloud providers, data centres, and increasingly, compute services.</p>



<p>The key attraction for me is how this business is evolving alongside major <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/technology/">technology</a> trends. As cloud usage grows and <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/ai-shares-asx/">artificial intelligence (AI)</a> drives greater demand for data and processing, the need for fast, flexible connectivity is only increasing.</p>



<p>Megaport's platform enables customers to scale their network connections on demand, making it a valuable piece of infrastructure in a more digital, data-heavy world. </p>



<p>I also think the company's expansion into compute services adds another layer to the story. It opens up a larger addressable market and gives Megaport more ways to grow over time.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Telix Pharmaceuticals Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-tlx/">ASX: TLX</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>Telix offers something different to the typical technology-focused ASX growth share. </p>



<p>The company operates in radiopharmaceuticals, developing imaging and therapeutic products for cancer. It already has a commercial product in market, which helps support ongoing growth and investment into its pipeline. </p>



<p>What stands out to me is the potential for multiple products to drive future revenue. If the company continues to successfully develop and commercialise new treatments, it could build a broader portfolio over time.</p>



<p>This is not without <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/understanding-risk-vs-reward/">risk</a>, as healthcare companies depend on clinical success and regulatory approvals. But the upside can be significant when things go right.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-foolish-takeaway"><strong>Foolish Takeaway</strong></h2>



<p>All three of these ASX shares are growing in different ways, but they share one important characteristic.</p>



<p>They are building platforms that can expand over time. SiteMinder is deepening its role in hotel commerce, Megaport is connecting the infrastructure behind the digital economy, and Telix is working towards a broader portfolio of healthcare products.</p>



<p>That combination of scale, opportunity, and optionality is what makes them exciting to me.</p>

<p>ASX 200&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/technology/">tech shares</a>&nbsp;crushed it last week, rising 12.96% while the benchmark <strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 Index&nbsp;</strong>(ASX: XJO) dipped 0.15%.</p>



<p>Technology was the strongest&nbsp;of the 11 ASX 200 <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/market-sectors-guide/">market sectors</a>&nbsp;following a commanding lead from Wall Street.</p>



<p>The <strong>NASDAQ Composite Index</strong>&nbsp;(NASDAQ: .IXIC) has been on a tear in April and hit a new record high last week. </p>



<p>As of Friday's <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/opening-hours-asx/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">market close</a> (Australian time), the NASDAQ had recorded 12 consecutive days of gains &#8212; its best run since 2009. </p>



<p>ASX 200 tech shares have followed suit, but not in a straight line. The sector has lifted 18.47% since the rebound began on 31 March.</p>



<p>It appears investors may have overcome their fears about <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/ai-shares-asx/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">artificial intelligence (AI)</a>. </p>



<p>Investors have fretted over large AI spending and the potential for AI tools like Claude to wipe out software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers. </p>



<p>These fears drove a near halving in the value of the <strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index</strong>&nbsp;(ASX: XIJ) in just seven months. </p>



<p>You read that right &#8212; the tech index experienced an extraordinary 48% sell-off between 29 August and 30 March.</p>



<p>No other sector recorded significant gains last week amid the ongoing war in Iran and a major fire at one of Australia's two oil refineries. </p>



<p>Only five ASX 200 sectors finished the week in the green. </p>



<p>Let's recap.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-asx-200-tech-shares-led-the-market-last-week">ASX 200 tech shares led the market last week</h2>

<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Xero Ltd&nbsp;</strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/">ASX: XRO</a>) share price leapt 14.72% to $81.98, while <strong>TechnologyOne Ltd&nbsp;</strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-tne/">ASX: TNE</a>) jumped 11.34% to $30.83. </p>



<p><strong>NextDC Limited&nbsp;</strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-nxt/">ASX: NXT</a>) shares rose 10.14% to $14.12 and <strong>Life360 Inc&nbsp;</strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-360/">ASX: 360</a>) increased 9.6% to $21.35.</p>



<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Megaport Ltd</strong>&nbsp;(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-mp1/">ASX: MP1</a>) share price screamed 26.53% to $8.49. </p>



<p><strong>Hansen Technologies Ltd</strong>&nbsp;(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-hsn/">ASX: HSN</a>) shares soared 9.37% to $5.02. </p>



<p>ASX 200 hotel booking platform provider,&nbsp;<strong>Siteminder Ltd&nbsp;</strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>), ripped 13.27% to $3.33 per share. </p>



<p><strong>Nuix Ltd </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-nxl/">ASX: NXL</a>) shares stormed 10.96% higher to $1.26 apiece, while <strong>Appen Ltd </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-apx/">ASX: APX</a>) rose 12.77% to $1.59. </p>



<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Weebit Nano Ltd</strong>&nbsp;(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-wbt/">ASX: WBT</a>) share price lifted 7.41% to $4.06. </p>



<p><strong>Objective Corporation Ltd</strong>&nbsp;(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-ocl/">ASX: OCL</a>) shares lifted 6.97% to $11.82. </p>



<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Dicker Data Ltd</strong>&nbsp;(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-ddr/">ASX: DDR</a>) share price ascended 4.19% to $8.95. </p>

<p>It has been an interesting month for ASX tech stocks. </p>



<p>After a sharp pullback due to <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/ai-shares-asx/">artificial intelligence (AI)</a> disruption fears, we are starting to see a rebound in April. Even so, a number of high-quality names are still trading well below their 52-week highs. </p>



<p>Here are three ASX tech stocks I think look like strong buys today. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-xero-ltd-asx-xro"><strong>Xero Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/">ASX: XRO</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>Xero is one of the clearest examples of how AI concerns can sometimes miss the bigger picture.</p>



<p>Rather than being disrupted by AI, the company is positioning itself to benefit from it. In its recent <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/announcements/2026-02-03/3a686389/investor-briefing/">investor briefing</a>, management highlighted that AI could significantly expand its total addressable market, with long-term potential to grow the SaaS opportunity by around 4 times.</p>



<p>What stands out to me is Xero's role as a system of record for small business financial data.</p>



<p>That gives it a powerful foundation in an AI-driven world. Instead of competing with AI tools, it can integrate them directly into its platform to automate workflows, generate insights, and improve decision-making for customers. </p>



<p>We are already seeing early signs of this. More than two million subscribers are using Xero's AI features, with measurable benefits such as time savings and improved productivity.</p>



<p>On top of that, the integration of Melio is opening up a significant US payments opportunity, which could drive stronger revenue growth and improved unit economics over time.</p>



<p>I think this looks like a business leaning into disruption rather than being threatened by it.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-catapult-sports-ltd-asx-cat"><strong>Catapult Sports Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-cat/">ASX: CAT</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>Catapult is a very different kind of ASX tech stock, but I think the opportunity is just as compelling.</p>



<p>Its platform is where data, performance analytics, and sport meet. That might sound niche, but the underlying model is highly scalable.</p>



<p>One thing that stood out in its recent <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-cat/announcements/2026-03-30/3a690404/catapult-fy26-analyst-day-presentation/">analyst day</a> was the focus on <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/arr/">recurring software revenue</a> and expanding value per customer.</p>



<p>The company reported ACV growth of around 19% and retention above 95%, which points to strong customer engagement and stickiness. </p>



<p>What I like is the land and expand strategy. Catapult is increasingly selling multiple products to the same teams, which can significantly increase revenue per customer over time. This is important because multi-solution customers generate materially higher value.</p>



<p>Importantly, Catapult argues that AI will enhance its value proposition rather than replace it, because its proprietary data sits at the core of performance analytics. And you can't build meaningful AI insights without high-quality underlying data.</p>



<p>For me, that data advantage is what could underpin its long-term growth.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>SiteMinder Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>SiteMinder is another business that has faced pressure as investors reassess growth tech.</p>



<p>But stepping back, I think the core story remains intact. The ASX tech stock operates a global hotel distribution and booking platform, connecting accommodation providers with online travel agents and other channels. That network effect is difficult to replicate.</p>



<p>What I find attractive is how that platform can evolve. As hotels increasingly focus on direct bookings, pricing optimisation, and revenue management, SiteMinder is well placed to expand its product suite and monetisation opportunities.</p>



<p>While AI is often framed as a risk, I think it could actually strengthen this model. Better data and smarter tools can improve pricing decisions, occupancy rates, and customer targeting, all of which feed back into the platform.</p>



<p>In other words, the same technology that investors worry about could end up enhancing the value of SiteMinder's ecosystem.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-foolish-takeaway"><strong>Foolish Takeaway</strong></h2>



<p>The recent pullback by ASX tech stocks has been driven in part by uncertainty around AI.</p>



<p>But when I look at Xero, Catapult, and SiteMinder, I see businesses that are adapting to that shift rather than being left behind, and that is why I think they look like strong long-term buys today.</p>

<p><strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 Index</strong> (ASX: XJO) <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/technology/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tech shares</a> are 6.3% higher after the 11th consecutive session of gains for US tech stocks overnight. </p>



<p>The <strong>Nasdaq Composite Index</strong> (NASDAQ: .IXIC) lifted 1.59% to a new record high last night. </p>



<p>ASX 200 tech shares have risen 16.2% over the past 11 trading sessions, but our tech index has fluctuated over the period. </p>



<p>Meanwhile, the NASDAQ has increased in a straight line by 15.5%, one day after another, since 30 March. </p>



<p>That's its best run since December 2023. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-could-this-mean-an-end-to-the-tech-wreck">Could this mean an end to the tech wreck?</h2>



<p>ASX 200 tech shares began a downward spiral in September last year.</p>



<p>Tech investors began worrying about high stock valuations and large-scale <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/ai-shares-asx/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">artificial intelligence (AI)</a> capex spending.</p>



<p>Then this year, a series of updates to Anthropic's AI assistant, Claude, stoked fears of major disruption for software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers. </p>



<p>If agentic AI and generative tools like Claude can custom-write software, why would companies subscribe to proprietary SaaS products?</p>



<p>These fears were especially felt in Australia given four of the six biggest ASX 200 tech shares by <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/market-capitalisation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">market capitalisation</a> are SaaS providers.</p>



<p>Some experts labelled it a 'SaaSpocalypse' moment, while <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/04/07/2-asx-200-tech-shares-this-fund-manager-backs-to-survive-the-ai-threat/">others insisted the highest quality tech companies would ride it out</a>. </p>



<p>The cumulative impact: the <strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index</strong> (ASX: XIJ) <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/02/17/why-are-asx-200-tech-shares-down-43-in-six-months/">fell 48% between 29 August and 30 March.</a> </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-here-comes-the-rebound">Here comes the rebound </h2>



<p>The biggest ASX 200 tech share by market cap is SaaS logistics management platform provider, <strong>WiseTech Global Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-wtc/">ASX: WTC</a>).</p>



<p>The Wisetech share price is $43.63, up 9.2% today and up 19.5% over the past 11 trading sessions. </p>



<p>Next is accounting services provider <strong>Xero Ltd </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/">ASX: XRO</a>). </p>



<p>The Xero share price is $80.70, up 7.5% on Thursday and up 14.5% since 30 March. </p>



<p>Enterprise resource planning provider <strong>TechnologyOne Ltd </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-tne/">ASX: TNE</a>) is also higher today. </p>



<p>TechnologyOne shares are $30.49, up 5.8% today and up 15.2% over the 11 trading sessions. </p>



<p>The <strong>Nextdc Ltd </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-nxt/">ASX: NXT</a>) share price is 4.2% higher at $13.96, and it's up 23.8% since 30 March. </p>



<p>The share price of family location app provider <strong>Life360 Inc </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-360/">ASX: 360</a>) is $21.15, up 11.6% today and up 16.6% since 30 March. </p>



<p>Shares in hotel bookings management platform provider <strong>Siteminder Ltd </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>) are up 8.3% to $3.35 today.</p>



<p>Siteminder shares have surged 23.4% since 30 March.</p>



<p>Technology is the strongest of the 11 ASX 200 <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/market-sectors-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">market sectors</a> today. </p>



<p>Meanwhile, the benchmark <strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 Index</strong> (ASX: XJO) is in the red, down 0.3% to 8,952.6 points. </p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>It is not often you find ASX shares trading for less than a takeaway coffee.</p>



<p>But price alone does not tell you much about value. What matters more, in my view, is whether the business has a large opportunity ahead of it and a clear path to grow into that opportunity over time.</p>



<p>Here are three ASX shares under $5 that I think have the potential to be much bigger businesses in the years ahead.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-droneshield-ltd-asx-dro"><strong>DroneShield Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-dro/">ASX: DRO</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>DroneShield operates in a niche that is becoming increasingly important.</p>



<p>Its technology is designed to detect and counter drones, which are now being used across defence, security, and critical infrastructure. That demand backdrop has shifted quickly in recent years, particularly as geopolitical tensions have increased.</p>



<p>What I like most is the scale of the opportunity. Counter-drone technology is still relatively early in its adoption curve, but the use cases are expanding rapidly. Governments, airports, and private operators are all potential customers.</p>



<p>I think the key question is not whether demand exists, but how large it could become.</p>



<p>DroneShield is positioning itself as a specialist provider in this space, and if adoption continues to broaden, the addressable market could grow significantly from here. That does not guarantee success, but it does create the kind of long-term optionality I look for in smaller companies.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Catapult Group International Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-cat/">ASX: CAT</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>Catapult sits at the heart of sport, data, and performance <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/technology/">technology</a>.</p>



<p>This ASX share provides analytics and wearable tracking solutions to professional sports teams, helping them optimise performance and reduce injury risk. That might sound niche, but the company is already working with more than 3,000 teams across over 40 sports globally.</p>



<p>What I find interesting is how the growth opportunity is evolving.</p>



<p>According to the company's recent <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-cat/announcements/2026-03-30/3a690404/catapult-fy26-analyst-day-presentation/">analyst day presentation</a>, the professional team market alone includes more than 20,000 teams, with significant room for further penetration. That gives a sense of the existing total addressable market, before even considering adjacent opportunities.</p>



<p>But it goes further than that. Catapult is increasingly focused on expanding revenue per customer. Its land and expand strategy is built around adding more products and increasing average contract value over time, with a long-term ambition to grow annualised contract value materially.</p>



<p>To me, that combination is important. It is not just about adding more teams. It is about deepening relationships with existing ones, which can be a powerful driver of long-term growth if executed well.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>SiteMinder Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>SiteMinder is building what it describes as a global platform for hotel commerce.</p>



<p>Its software helps hotels manage bookings, distribution channels, and pricing across a highly fragmented ecosystem. That might not sound exciting at first glance, but the scale of the network is significant.</p>



<p>The platform already connects around 53,000 properties globally and facilitates tens of millions of reservations each year.</p>



<p>What I find compelling is the underlying market opportunity. The ASX share sits at the centre of a global hotel ecosystem, connecting hundreds of systems, apps, and distribution channels. As that ecosystem becomes more complex, particularly with the rise of <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/ai-shares-asx/">AI</a>-driven pricing and distribution, the need for a central platform could increase.</p>



<p>There is also a clear monetisation opportunity. SiteMinder has <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/announcements/2026-02-25/2a1655621/h1fy26-investor-presentation/">outlined a potential 5x uplift </a>in revenue per customer as more products are adopted across its existing base. That suggests a large internal growth runway, even without relying solely on new customer additions.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Foolish takeaway</strong></h2>



<p>Shares trading under $5 can sometimes be overlooked, but they can also offer exposure to businesses with meaningful long-term growth potential.</p>



<p>DroneShield is operating in a market that is still emerging but expanding quickly, Catapult has a clear pathway to grow both its customer base and revenue per customer, and SiteMinder is building a global platform with increasing relevance as the hotel industry becomes more complex.</p>



<p>None of these are guaranteed winners, and all come with <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/understanding-risk-vs-reward/">risks</a>. But for me, they each have something that matters more than their share price. A large opportunity and a strategy to grow into it over time.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>What's better than buying <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/growth-shares-2/">ASX growth shares</a>? Investing in them after they've suffered a large decline, at much better value.</p>



<p>It can make a big difference to invest in high-growth businesses when they sell off because of the much bigger change in the <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/p-e-ratio/">price/earnings (P/E) ratio</a>.</p>



<p>For example, if a business with a P/E ratio of 10 falls by 10%, the ratio drops to 9. If a business had a P/E ratio of 50 and it fell by 10%, the P/E ratio would become 45.</p>



<p>With that in mind, the two businesses below look like great value to me.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-rea-group-ltd-asx-rea">REA Group Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-rea/">ASX: REA</a>)</h2>



<p>REA Group is the leading property portal company in Australia, with its realestate.com.au business, which sees significantly more visitors than competitors in terms of both property vendors and potential buyers. This market strength allows the business to charge more than rivals and increase prices regularly.</p>



<p>With Australia's growing population and increasing number of properties, the company's addressable market is steadily growing. The recent (and potential upcoming) RBA rate hikes may lead to an increase in property listings, which could boost earnings</p>



<p>The potential of AI hurting the ASX growth share's earnings is not as strong as the market has priced in, in my view, as AI could assist REA Group's earnings in a variety of ways on both the income side and the expense side. Plus, AI adoption by households may not become as widespread as expected (if that ends up being a headwind).</p>



<p>After falling around 40% since August 2025, the REA Group share price is now valued at 33x FY26's estimated earnings, according to CMC Invest.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-siteminder-ltd-asx-sdr">Siteminder Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>)</h2>



<p>Siteminder is another technology company, it provides software for hotels for their operations and to generate revenue through room sales and distribution.</p>



<p>The company has a really impressive goal of 30% annual revenue growth, which most businesses would be very happy with. Not only is the company winning more hotel customers, but it's unlocking more revenue from existing clients by providing more modules.</p>



<p>These additional offerings allow the hotel to analyse their data and finances more effectively so they can decide what price to charge for their rooms. Siteminder can even change the hotel's room prices automatically for them.</p>



<p>The operating leverage of a software business means that costs don't grow at the same speed as revenue, so I'm expecting Siteminder to see its various profit margins (and bottom line) to improve significantly in the next few years. </p>



<p>Following the Siteminder share price's decline of 60% in the past six months, it now looks <em>very</em> good value to me. According to the projection on CMC Invest, it's valued at 24x FY28's estimated earnings.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of the best investment opportunities are not always the most talked about.</p>
<p>While large-cap names tend to dominate headlines, there are a number of ASX shares quietly building strong growth platforms behind the scenes. For investors willing to look beyond the obvious, these companies can offer compelling long-term potential.</p>
<p>Here are two under-the-radar ASX shares that could be worth considering.</p>
<h2><strong>Breville Group Ltd </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-brg/">ASX: BRG</a>)</h2>
<p>The first ASX share that could have significant long-term potential is Breville.</p>
<p>At first glance, Breville might look like a traditional appliance business. But underneath the surface, it is evolving into a global premium consumer brand with multiple growth levers.</p>
<p>The company continues to expand internationally, with newer markets such as China, Korea, the Middle East, and Mexico delivering very strong growth. In fact, these newer regions collectively grew more than 50% during the first half, highlighting the early-stage opportunity still ahead.</p>
<p>At the same time, Breville is benefiting from strong demand in its coffee category, which continues to drive growth globally. Its focus on premium products and innovation allows it to maintain pricing power and brand strength.</p>
<p>Another interesting angle is its investment in artificial intelligence. Management is rolling out AI across the entire business, not just as a small initiative but as a company-wide transformation.</p>
<p>Combined with ongoing product development and geographic expansion, this suggests Breville has more to it than a typical consumer discretionary company.</p>
<h2><strong>SiteMinder Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>)</h2>
<p>Another under-the-radar ASX share with plenty of potential is SiteMinder.</p>
<p>SiteMinder operates a global hotel distribution and revenue platform, sitting at the centre of how accommodation providers manage bookings, pricing, and distribution.</p>
<p>What makes it particularly interesting is its combination of strong growth and improving profitability. The company recently delivered revenue growth of over 25% alongside a significant improvement in earnings, with <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/ebitda/">EBITDA</a> more than doubling.</p>
<p>Its Smart Platform strategy is a key driver here. By expanding its product offering and increasing adoption among customers, SiteMinder is growing both its customer base and the amount it earns per customer.</p>
<p>This is reflected in its rising <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/arr/">annual recurring revenue</a> and improving unit economics, which point to a scalable business model with operating leverage.</p>
<p>There is also a strong structural tailwind from the increasing complexity of hotel distribution and pricing, particularly as artificial intelligence becomes more widely adopted across the travel industry. SiteMinder's platform plays a critical role in executing transactions and managing this complexity, positioning it well for long-term growth.</p>

Initially, investors were not in a good mood this morning. But that sentiment changed just before lunchtime and held for the rest of the afternoon as investors pushed the market higher. By the time the closing bell rang, the <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/what-is-the-asx-200-and-how-does-it-work/" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/what-is-the-asx-200-and-how-does-it-work/">ASX 200</a> had recorded a 0.25% rise. That leaves the index at 8,481.8 points.</p>
<p>This optimistic session for the local markets followed a mixed start to the American trading week over on Wall Street in the early hours of this morning.</p>
<p>The <strong>Dow Jones Industrial Average Index</strong> (DJX: .DJI) managed to snatch a win from the jaws of defeat, rising by 0.11%.</p>
<p>The tech-heavy <strong>Nasdaq Composite Index</strong> (NASDAQ: .IXIC) wasn't so lucky, though, falling 0.73%.</p>
<p>But let's return to Australian shares now and take stock of how today's indecisiveness affected the various <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/market-sectors-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/market-sectors-guide/" aria-label="ASX sectors - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">ASX sectors</a> this session.</p>

<h2 class="entry-content">Winners and losers</h2>
<p>Even though the market swung around quite a bit today, most sectors ended up in the green.</p>
<p>But not all. The biggest losers from the session were <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/asx-energy-shares/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/asx-energy-shares/" aria-label="Energy stocks were also affected - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">energy stocks</a>. The <strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 Energy Index</strong> (ASX: XEJ) had a clanger this Tuesday, shedding 1.15% of its value.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/consumer-staples/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/consumer-staples/" aria-label="consumer staples stocks - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">Consumer staples shares</a> were no safe haven either, with the <strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 Consumer Staples Index</strong> (ASX: XSJ) retreating 0.56%.</p>
<p>The other red corner of the markets were utilities stocks. The<strong> S&amp;P/ASX 200 Utilities Index</strong> (ASX: XUJ) went backwards by 0.52% today.</p>
<p>But it was all smiles everywhere else.</p>
<p>Leading the green sectors were <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/asx-gold-shares/" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/asx-gold-shares/">gold shares</a>, as you can see from the <strong>All Ordinaries Gold Index</strong> (ASX: XGD)'s 3.53% surge.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/technology/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/technology/" aria-label="tech shares - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">Tech stocks</a> were in demand as well. The <strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index </strong>(ASX: XIJ) soared up 2.98% this Tuesday.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/telecommunications-shares/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/telecommunications-shares/" aria-label="Communications stocks - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">Communications shares</a> also ran hot, with the <strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 Communication Services Index </strong>(ASX: XTJ) vaulting 0.85% higher.</p>
<p>We could say the same for <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/real-estate-investment-trust/" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/real-estate-investment-trust/">real estate investment trusts (REITs)</a>. The <strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index</strong> (ASX: XPJ) jumped up 0.76% this session.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/consumer-discretionary-shares/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/consumer-discretionary-shares/" aria-label="consumer discretionary stocks - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">Consumer discretionary stocks</a> came next, evidenced by the <strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 Consumer Discretionary Index </strong>(ASX: XDJ)'s 0.51% bounce.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/healthcare-shares/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/healthcare-shares/" aria-label="healthcare stocks - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">Healthcare shares</a> enjoyed a decent day as well. The <strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 Healthcare Index</strong> (ASX: XHJ) saw its value climb 0.29%.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/financial-shares/" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/financial-shares/">Financial stocks</a> were right on that tail, with the <strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 Financials Index</strong> (ASX: XFJ) adding 0.28% to its total.</p>
<p>Industrial shares scraped over the line, too. The <strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 Industrials Index</strong> (ASX: XNJ) lifted 0.24% today.</p>
<p>Finally, <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/top-mining-shares/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/top-mining-shares/" aria-label="Mining shares - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">mining stocks</a> made the winners cut, illustrated by the <strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 Materials Index</strong> (ASX: XMJ)'s 0.18% bump.</p>

<h2>Top 10 ASX 200 shares countdown</h2>
<p>Today's best stock was again a gold miner, this time <strong>Resolute Mining Ltd </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-rsg/">ASX: RSG</a>). Resolute shares rocketed 8.56% higher to finish at $1.40 each. There wasn't any price-sensitive news to speak of. Saying that, most gold stocks had a blowout today, as we saw above.</p>

<p>The <strong>All Ordinaries </strong>(ASX: XAO), or ASX All Ords, stock space is a great area of the market to look for opportunities right now because of the <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/volatility/">volatility</a> and much lower share prices.</p>



<p>Small businesses can be just as good of an investment as a large business, perhaps an even better one, mainly due to their long-term earnings growth potential.</p>



<p>I'm optimistic that the following businesses have a very positive future.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-propel-funeral-partners-ltd-asx-pfp">Propel Funeral Partners Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-pfp/">ASX: PFP</a>)</h2>



<p>Propel is one of the largest operators of funerals and crematoria in Australia and New Zealand.</p>



<p>It's a morbid industry, but it's an important one for society. Sadly, the sector does see a certain level of demand each year. As the saying goes, there are two things certain in life – death and taxes.</p>



<p>Due to Australia's growing and ageing population, the number of deaths per year is expected to grow in the coming years, which gives the business ultra-long-term tailwinds.</p>



<p>Death volumes are expected to increase by an average of 2.9% between 2026 to 2035 and then grow by a further 2.4% from 2036 to 2045. New Zealand is also expected to long-term growth, though not quite as strong.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/inflation/">Inflation</a> is another useful boost for the ASX All Ords stock's revenue because it helps boost the average revenue per funeral. Propel Funeral Partners reported that its <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/cagr/">compound annual growth rate (CAGR)</a> has been 2.8% since FY15, though it was faster during the inflationary period earlier this decade.</p>



<p>I think this company's <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/npat/">net profit</a> can steadily grow over the long-term, making the recent decline an appealing time to buy, in my view.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-siteminder-ltd-asx-sdr">Siteminder Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>)</h2>



<p>Siteminder is another ASX All Ords stock that I'm bullish about over the long-term because of its growth rate and plans for the future.</p>



<p>The business provides software to hotels around the world to help them run their operations and generate more revenue for their rooms over the course of a year.</p>



<p>The ASX All Ords stock has a goal of growing its revenue by 30% per year, which is a tremendous rate of <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/compounding/">compounding</a> if it can achieve that goal. The business is offering new modules to clients to help them be even better at generating revenue from the software (such as analysis of data), including an offering that enables Siteminder to automatically adjust room prices for the hotel.</p>



<p>The company is currently growing revenue at a growth rate that's in mid-20% range and I think the market is underestimating at how much it could grow in the next few years.</p>



<p>Additionally, the company's operating profit (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/ebitda/">EBITDA</a>) margins and <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/cash-flow/">cash flow</a> margins are growing, particularly as it is now generating positive figures in those two areas (it has been in the minus but improving in previous years). </p>



<p>With the Siteminder share price down more than 60% in the past six months, I think this is a great time to invest.</p>

]]></description>
                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Tech shares haven't had it easy lately. Between higher <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/interest-rates/">interest rates</a>, valuation resets, and ongoing debate around <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/ai-shares-asx/">artificial intelligence (AI)</a>, a number of quality names have been pushed well below their previous highs.  </p>



<p>That doesn't remove the risk. But it does change the opportunity.</p>



<p>Here are three ASX tech stocks I think are looking like bargains at current levels.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-catapult-sport-ltd-asx-cat"><strong>Catapult Sport Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-cat/">ASX: CAT</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>Catapult operates in a technology niche that continues to expand. It provides performance analytics and wearable technology to professional sports teams around the world.</p>



<p>What stands out to me is how embedded its products are within elite sport. Teams rely on its data to manage performance, reduce injury risk, and gain a competitive edge. That creates a level of stickiness that is difficult to replicate.</p>



<p>The ASX tech share has also been shifting toward a more recurring revenue model, which is supporting strong growth. In fact, this week, Catapult announced that it expects to report <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/26/catapult-sports-delivers-strong-fy26-growth-and-profitability/">annualised contract value (ACV) growth of 27% to 28%</a> in FY26 to US$133 million to US$134 million.</p>



<p>So, after a significant share price pullback, I think a buying opportunity has opened up for investors.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>WiseTech Global Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-wtc/">ASX: WTC</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>WiseTech Global has been one of the most heavily sold-off tech shares on the ASX.</p>



<p>Much of that appears to be driven by concerns around AI and how it could impact software platforms. But I think that risk is being misunderstood. </p>



<p>WiseTech is integrating AI into its CargoWise platform, using it to automate workflows and improve efficiency across global logistics. Rather than replacing the business, I believe AI could strengthen its market position.</p>



<p>With a deeply embedded platform, global reach, and strong recurring revenue, I still see this as a high-quality company trading at a far more reasonable price than it was a year ago.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>SiteMinder Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>Lastly, SiteMinder adds exposure to the global <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/travel-shares/">travel</a> and hospitality technology space. Its platform helps hotels manage bookings, distribution channels, and revenue, connecting them to a wide range of online travel agencies.</p>



<p>What I like here is the scale of the opportunity. The accommodation sector is still digitising, and SiteMinder is positioned as a key infrastructure layer within that ecosystem.</p>



<p>As more hotels move toward integrated platforms, the company has the potential to grow both its customer base and revenue per user.</p>



<p>Like many growth stocks, it hasn't been spared from the recent AI sell-off. But that could be an overreaction, especially with management working on an AI agent solution for its platform that leverages the technology and doesn't get replaced by it.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-foolish-takeaway"><strong>Foolish Takeaway</strong></h2>



<p>Sell-offs in tech can be uncomfortable, but they can also create opportunities to buy quality businesses at more attractive prices.</p>



<p>Catapult, WiseTech, and SiteMinder are all operating in growing industries, with business models that have the potential to scale over time.</p>



<p>For patient investors, I think these are the types of ASX tech shares that could be worth buying and holding through the volatility.</p>

<p>ASX technology shares are now one of the most undervalued corners of the market.&nbsp;</p>



<p>These companies have faced plenty of headwinds so far in 2026, as we've seen some of Australia's biggest tech companies heavily sold off.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Just to name a few:&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Xero Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/">ASX: XRO</a>) is down 33% YTD</li>



<li><strong>WiseTech Global Ltd </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-wtc/">ASX: WTC</a>) has dropped nearly 43%</li>



<li><strong>Megaport Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-mp1/">ASX: MP1</a>) has fallen 38%</li>



<li><strong>SiteMinder Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>) is down 54%.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-are-tech-stocks-falling">Why are tech stocks falling?</h2>



<p>Investors appear to be firmly positioning themselves with a risk-off approach for a few reasons.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Ongoing conflict in the <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/16/oil-climbs-toward-us100-as-the-middle-east-war-disrupts-global-supply/">Middle East</a> has prompted investors to push away from riskier <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/24/should-investors-be-targeting-growth-or-value-asx-etfs-right-now/">growth </a>oriented companies like tech.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Additionally, <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/09/how-to-position-your-portfolio-for-the-ai-impact-expert/">AI interruption fears</a> have turned sentiment largely negative on Aussie tech stocks as investors consider which companies could be replaced.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Finally, the RBA <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/18/why-the-rba-could-increase-interest-rates-again-in-may/">has raised interest rates</a> amidst rising inflation, which negatively impacts tech valuations which depend on future earnings.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Altogether, it's a mix of macroeconomic pressure, shifting sentiment on AI, and a normal correction after a strong rally.</p>



<p>With so much downward pressure in recent months, it's clear that some of these tech stocks present a relative value.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The rebound won't happen overnight. But let's see which of these battered tech stocks are expected to recover.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-megaport-and-siteminder-could-double-according-to-morgans">Megaport and SiteMinder could double according to Morgans</h2>



<p>Megaport is a technology company that runs a global software-defined network platform, enabling businesses to connect directly to cloud providers and data centres. Its platform allows companies to build fast, flexible connections between their digital infrastructure without the need for traditional network contracts.</p>



<p>Morgans is optimistic its core product is set to benefit from AI growth, rather than be replaced by it.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The broker has a <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/18/2-amazing-ai-stocks-to-buy-in-the-asx-200/">$16 price target</a> on this tech stock.&nbsp;</p>



<p>From current levels, that indicates an upside of roughly 112%.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Meanwhile for SiteMinder, the company provides an e-commerce platform for hotels and other accommodation businesses.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/15/these-asx-200-shares-could-rise-30-to-100/">Morgans</a> has a buy rating and $7.00 price target on the company's shares, with the broker pointing to key business metrics remaining robust despite downward pressure.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This target is 150% higher than yesterday's closing price.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-wisetech-and-xero-nbsp">WiseTech and Xero&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Xero shares have continued to tumble in 2026.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The company offers cloud-based, accounting software for small to medium businesses.</p>



<p>It has been one of the tech stocks caught up in AI integration/replacement fears, <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/02/04/xero-crashes-14-to-a-multi-year-low-what-on-earth-is-going-on/">as some argue </a>its core business could be at risk.&nbsp;</p>



<p>However, many brokers still maintain positive outlooks on the company.&nbsp;</p>



<p>For example, <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/22/top-brokers-name-3-asx-shares-to-buy-next-week-22-march-2026/">analysts at Citi </a>have retained their buy rating and $144.80 price target. This indicates 93% upside.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Citi has a similarly positive outlook for WiseTech shares.&nbsp;</p>



<p>A recent price target of $65.35 from the broker is roughly 67% higher than current levels.&nbsp;</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>The ASX share market has seen plenty of <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/volatility/">volatility</a> this decade, and 2026 is turning into a tough year for investors. Given the size of the declines we've seen over the last few weeks (and months), this could be a great time to look at good-value businesses with excellent long-term potential. </p>



<p>A decline in the share price doesn't automatically mean the business is great value. But, given where the earnings of the following shares are likely to go, I think the three ASX shares below are strong buys.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-siteminder-ltd-asx-sdr">Siteminder Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>)</h2>



<p>Siteminder is a software provider for 53,000 hotels around the world, and it's growing at a quick pace. During the <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/announcements/2026-02-25/2a1655621/h1fy26-investor-presentation/">first half of FY26</a>, it added 2,900 hotel properties to its customer base.</p>



<p>The ASX share has a goal of growing its <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/arr/">annual recurring revenue (ARR)</a> by 30% annually, which would be a tremendous rate of improvement. In the FY26 half-year result, ARR increased 29.7% to $280.3 million, while revenue grew 25.5% to $131.1 million.</p>



<p>As a software business, its costs aren't likely to climb at the same rate as its revenue because it's so low-cost to sell one more software subscription to a new hotel. That's partly why we saw adjusted operating profit (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/ebitda/">EBITDA</a>) more than double to $12.3 million.</p>



<p>The ASX share is rolling out new modules to help its clients generate stronger revenue from its hotels throughout the year, which is also helping increase Siteminder's average revenue per user (ARPU).</p>



<p>Using the profit forecast on CMC Invest, the Siteminder share price is valued at 24x FY28's estimated earnings. That looks really good value if Siteminder's revenue grows faster than 20% per year in the next few years.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-centuria-industrial-reit-asx-cip">Centuria Industrial REIT (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-cip/">ASX: CIP</a>)</h2>



<p>This is a <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/real-estate-investment-trust/">real estate investment trust (REIT)</a> that owns a national portfolio of industrial properties across Australia. It's properties like these that are the backbone of the supply chains, distribution networks, data centres, and food/medicine.</p>



<p>The rental potential of the ASX share's portfolio is increasing thanks to tailwinds like a growing population, increasing adoption of online shopping, data centre demand, and so on. The REIT says that its portfolio is 20% under-rented, so its rental income has significant growth potential over the next several years as rental contracts are renewed.  </p>



<p>Centuria Industrial REIT reported that in the <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-cip/announcements/2026-02-11/2a1652994/cip-hy26-results-presentation/">first six months of FY26</a>, its net operating income (NOI) grew by 5.1%, and it is guiding that its funds from operations (FFO) could grow up to 6% in FY26.</p>



<p>Centuria Industrial REIT looks cheap to me because its reported <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/net-asset-value/">net tangible assets (NTA)</a> was $3.95 at 31 December 2025, so it's at a discount of around 25%.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-aeris-resources-ltd-asx-ais">Aeris Resources Ltd (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-ais/">ASX: AIS</a>)</h2>



<p>This <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/top-mining-shares/">ASX mining share</a> describes itself as a mid-tier base and precious metals producer.</p>



<p>Its key focus is copper, while also having a pipeline of "organic growth projects and an aggressive exploration program and continues to investigate strategic merger and acquisition opportunities", according to Aeris Resources.</p>



<p>The longer-term rise of the copper price has really helped the ASX share's profit outlook. In HY26, its revenue rose by 4.6% to $306.3 million, while cost of sales reduced 9% to $212.8 million. </p>



<p>Its operating <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/cash-flow/">cash flow</a> jumped 67% to $97.3 million, while <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/npat/">net profit after tax (NPAT)</a> grew 62% to $47.9 million.</p>



<p>I think there is plenty of room for growth in the ASX share through both increased production and potentially higher resource prices over time.</p>



<p>Using the forecast on CMC Invest, the Aeris Resources share price is valued at 2x FY26's estimated earnings.</p>
