Down but not out: 3 ASX tech shares ripe for a rebound

Five months ago, ASX tech shares were in crisis.

ASX 200 tech shares fell 48% between August 2025 and March 2026, dragged lower by a combination of stretched valuations, slowing growth, and the disruptive threat of artificial intelligence.

More recently, however, the story has changed.

The tech recovery has been in full swing, with stocks rising since the turning point on 31 March.

Three names in particular deserve close attention right now.

Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO)

Xero is one of these stocks.

Over the past year, Xero shares are down more than 60% and remain well below their June 2025 high of $196.52.

However, the XRO share price has stabilised, with investors reacting positively to a series of business developments.

The FY2026 result told a strong underlying story, with revenue growing 31% to $2.8 billion and the US business surging 240% on the back of the Melio bill pay integration.

Shaw and Partners estimates approximately 20% further upside for Xero shares from current levels.

Furthermore, two million Xero subscribers are already using AI features embedded directly into the platform. This should position the company as a beneficiary of AI rather than a casualty of it.

WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)

WiseTech has been one of the hardest hit ASX tech stock since the correction began.

However, like Xero, WiseTech shares have stabilised over the last few months. A potential reason for this is that the business case for WiseTech remains intact.

WiseTech’s CargoWise platform is used by 23 of the world’s top 25 global freight forwarders. Furthermore, switching costs for a platform this deeply embedded in customer operations remain extremely high, meaning revenues remain sticky.

Bell Potter sees upside of approximately 95% to 165% from current levels, arguing the recent selloff has overshot relative to the strength of the underlying business.

For investors who can tolerate further near-term volatility, the combination of a deep competitive moat and a heavily discounted valuation makes WiseTech shares worth close attention.

Life360 Inc (ASX: 360)

Life360 is the smallest and arguably most differentiated of these three ASX tech shares.

The family safety and location-tracking app was swept up in the broader tech selloff alongside Xero and WiseTech despite a fundamentally different business model.

Life360 shares have risen approximately 33% from their April lows.

Nowadays the company trades on a P/E multiple of around 29 times. This multiple looks low given Life360’s subscriber growth trajectory.

Indeed, Life360 has been steadily growing its premium subscriber base and diversifying revenue through advertising and data partnerships. This model has the added advantage of considerably lowering exposure to the AI disruption fears that hit enterprise software names hardest.

Why the rebound could continue for ASX tech shares

The common thread across Xero, WiseTech, and Life360 is that much of the original selloff was driven by macro sentiment and AI disruption fears rather than evidence of actual business deterioration.

As that narrative has started to reverse, the share prices have followed. Each business continues to grow revenue, retain customers, and in several cases actively embed AI into their platforms as a competitive advantage rather than a threat.

The combination of good growth, sentiment shift, and starting valuations that remain well below recent highs is the setup that has historically rewarded patient ASX investors.

Foolish takeaway for ASX tech shares

Xero, WiseTech, and Life360 fell significantly from their highs. The recovery story may have already started.

None of the three is risk-free, and further volatility should be expected.

But for investors willing to back the early signs of a genuine turnaround, all three ASX tech shares look ripe for a continued rebound.
