The modern economy is becoming more digital every year.

This creates opportunities for companies that sit inside these changes.

But where are the opportunities for investors?

Here are three ASX tech shares that could be well placed for a more digital world.

NextDC Ltd (ASX: NXT)

NextDC gives investors exposure to the physical backbone of the digital economy.

It develops and operates data centres, which are used by businesses, cloud providers, technology companies, and other organisations that need secure and reliable infrastructure for their data and computing workloads.

That makes NextDC a different kind of technology share. It is not selling apps or software. It is providing the highly specialised facilities that help keep the digital world running.

Demand for data centre capacity is being supported by cloud computing, artificial intelligence, enterprise digitisation, and the rising volume of data being created across the economy.

These facilities are difficult to build well. They require large amounts of capital, technical expertise, power access, cooling capability, security, and strong operating standards. That creates a meaningful barrier to entry.

Morgans recently put a buy rating and $18.00 price target on its shares.

Pro Medicus Ltd (ASX: PME)

Pro Medicus is an ASX tech share that gives investors exposure to the digital side of healthcare.

Its Visage platform helps hospitals and radiology groups manage, view, and interpret medical images. That is important because modern healthcare produces enormous amounts of imaging data. Scans need to move quickly, load reliably, and be available to clinicians when decisions are being made.

Pro Medicus has built a strong reputation in this market, particularly with large healthcare networks overseas. Its software is not just a nice extra for its customers. It can sit close to the daily workflow of radiologists and hospitals.

And with the long-term need for better medical imaging infrastructure only likely to increase as healthcare systems become more digital, Pro Medicus appears well-placed for long-term growth.

Bell Potter recently put a buy rating and $226.00 price target on its shares.

TechnologyOne Ltd (ASX: TNE)

TechnologyOne is one of the ASX’s strongest enterprise software businesses.

It provides software used by large organisations such as councils, universities, government bodies, and corporations.

These customers need systems that can help manage finance, payroll, planning, assets, projects, and administration. The work happens behind the scenes, but it is essential to how these organisations function.

This gives TechnologyOne an attractive position. Its software can become deeply embedded in customer operations, which can make relationships sticky and support recurring revenue over time.

And with the company’s international expansion gaining momentum, it appears well-placed for growth over the long-term.

Morgan Stanley has an overweight rating and $32.00 price target on its shares.

Although not quite as popular as some blue chips, namely the ASX bank shares, ASX investors do tend to consider energy shares as a dividend income investment. Perhaps none more so than Woodside Energy Group Ltd (ASX: WDS) shares.

Woodside is, by far, the largest energy stock on the ASX, boasting a market capitalisation (at least at the time of writing) of about $53.35 billion. It is an oil and gas heavyweight in the energy space, thanks in part to its acquisition of BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP)’s petroleum assets a few years ago.

Oil stocks like Woodside do often have the potential of offering high levels of dividend income, at least over parts of the economic cycle. After all, oil prices are highly volatile (as we’ve all experienced over the past few months), and as such, energy stocks’ profits, and ability to fund dividends, tend to fluctuate accordingly.

But let’s get into what kind of yield investors can expect from Woodside shares in mid-2026.

Woodside shares: What kind of dividend yield is on offer today?

At the time of writing, Woodside shares are trading at $28.22 each, down a hefty 1.5% for the day thus far. At this price, the ASX 200 energy stock is trading on a trailing dividend yield of 5.87%.

5.87% is obviously a pretty fat yield. It stems from the last two dividend payments Woodside has doled out to its shareholders. The first of those was the interim payment of 81.82 cents per share (from 53 US cents) that was distributed in September last year. The second was this March’s final dividend, worth 83.49 cents per share (59 US cents).

Together, this 12-month total of $1.65 per share gives Woodise that trailing yield of 5.87% at the current share price.

Both of these dividends came with full franking credits attached as well. That means this 5.87% yield grosses up to an impressive 8.39% with the value of those credits included.

However, all dividend stocks are inherently unreliable income payers, and Woodside is particularly so for the reasons discussed above. To illustrate, the company’s $1.65 dividend total over the past 12 months pales in comparison to the $3.75 or so investors enjoyed for the 2022 financial year.

As such, I think Woodside is a worthy candidate for inclusion in any well-balanced and diversified portfolio that prioritises maximising dividend income. However, investors should never take this company’s dividend yield as an indication of what they might receive going forward. When the oil market stars align, Woodside has shown it can be a generous investment. But when times are tough, expect the taps to turn down.
