The ASX tech share Siteminder Ltd (ASX: SDR) could be one of the best businesses to buy right now, given its growth prospects and appealing valuation.

Siteminder is the name behind Siteminder software, which it calls the world’s leading hotel commerce platform. It also operates Little Hotelier, an all-in-one hotel management software offering.

The Siteminder share price has drifted lower after it reported its FY26 result, and I think this represents a particularly good buying point considering its improving financials.

Let me explain why I think it’s such an appealing buy.

Strong revenue growth

The company is delivering strong growth with its revenue, which is helping increase the scale of the business every year.

In FY26, the ASX tech share delivered revenue growth of 18.6% to $266.1 million, demonstrating strong performance despite softer travel conditions.

It showed resilience and growing traction from new product initiatives such as the smart platform. The smart platform represents multiple new modules that give hotels more analytics, intelligence and even automated room price features.

The company’s annual recurring revenue (ARR) rose 14.9% to $313.7 million, which suggests FY27’s revenue figure already has some pleasing growth baked in.

During FY26, the company added 5,900 hotel properties to its client list, taking the total to 56,000. Average revenue per user (ARPU) increased 5.9% to $429, largely thanks to increasing smart platform adoption and deeper product penetration.

Siteminder expects its ARR to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in the “20s” in percentage terms between FY26 to FY30, on a constant currency and organic basis. I think most companies would be happy to grow revenue at a strong pace.

Improving profit margins

I think one of the best signs of a compelling ASX tech share is one where its profit margins are rising as it grows. Operating leverage is a very powerful force to help the compounding of earnings.

In FY26, the company’s adjusted operating profit (EBITDA) soared 96.5% to $28.1 million, while reported operating profit (EBITDA) rocketed 244% to $24.4 million – the reported figure included $3.8 million of restructuring and other costs.

Other profit margins also increased during the period. It noted that adjusted free cash flow improved by 123% to $10.5 million.

Siteminder expects its adjusted EBITDA margin to expand meaningfully in FY27. The adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to reach the mid-20s in FY30.

If revenue is growing strongly and the margins are going up, the bottom line could improve significantly.

Pleasing valuation

The ASX tech share is projected by analysts to quickly turn quite profitable over the next couple of financial years. According to the projection on Commsec, the Siteminder share price is valued at 29x FY28’s estimated earnings.

For a business that could be growing revenue by at least 20%, I think that the valuation looks cheap following its 50% decline this year.

But which ASX dividend shares could be top buys right now?

Here are three ASX dividend shares that I think could be worth considering.

HomeCo Daily Needs REIT (ASX: HDN)

HomeCo Daily Needs REIT could be an ASX dividend share to buy for steady income.

The property company owns convenience-focused assets across neighbourhood retail, large-format retail, health, and services.

This gives it exposure to tenants linked to everyday spending. Supermarkets, pharmacies, healthcare providers, pet stores, childcare operators, and other daily-needs businesses can be more resilient than purely discretionary retailers.

That can help support rental income and distributions through the cycle.

Another positive is that HomeCo Daily Needs REIT is not trying to own trophy office towers or speculative development assets. Its focus is much more practical, owning properties that people tend to visit regularly and that tenants need to operate from.

HomeCo Daily Needs REIT offers a forecast dividend yield of around 7.5% in FY 2027.

IPH Ltd (ASX: IPH)

IPH could be another ASX dividend share to consider. It provides intellectual property services across areas such as patents, trademarks, and related advisory work.

This essentially means that it helps businesses protect ideas, brands, technology, and commercial rights.

That may not be an exciting headline industry, but it can be a good one for dividends. IPH is a capital-light business, which means it does not need to spend huge sums on factories, mines, or physical infrastructure to keep operating.

Patent filing activity can move up and down, and the business is not immune to softer conditions. But the underlying need for companies to protect intellectual property is not going away.

If its earnings stabilise and cash generation remains strong, IPH could continue to reward shareholders with attractive dividends.

IPH currently trades with an estimated FY 2027 dividend yield of around 11.5%.

Transurban Group (ASX: TCL)

A third ASX dividend share that could be a buy is Transurban. It owns and operates toll roads in Australia and North America.

These assets sit inside major cities and are used by motorists who want faster or more reliable travel.

That gives Transurban a defensive infrastructure quality. Urban populations grow, congestion remains a problem, and well-located toll roads can remain valuable for decades.

The company also has a long record of paying distributions to investors and has major projects that could support future growth.

The company’s shares currently trade with a forward estimated FY 2027 dividend yield of 5.2%.

The Sky Network Television Ltd (ASX: SKT) share price is in focus today after the company posted a strong full-year FY26 result, with underlying revenue rising 9% to $826.1 million and underlying EBITDA climbing 6% to $157 million—at the top end of guidance.

What did Sky New Zealand report?

• Underlying revenue: $826.1 million, up 9% from FY25
• Underlying EBITDA: $157.0 million, up 6%
• Statutory NPAT: $59.8 million, up 190%; Underlying NPAT: $41.8 million, up 2%
• Final dividend: 17cps (fully imputed), full-year dividend of 32cps, up 45% on FY25
• Normalised free cash flow: $58.9 million, up 60%
• Closing cash balance: $79.1 million, up 144% year-on-year

What else do investors need to know?

Sky completed its integration of Sky Free (formerly Discovery NZ), delivering $8 million in annual synergy benefits, well above initial estimates. Advertising revenue more than doubled to $131.7 million, now making up 16% of total income and highlighting Sky’s growing diversification beyond subscriptions.

The board has set its sights on 10% annual dividend growth over the next three years and will switch to quarterly payments from FY27. The company is also considering an on-market share buyback if no better capital deployment opportunities arise following the next interim results.

What did Sky New Zealand management say?

Chief Executive Sophie Moloney commented:

Three years ago, we set ambitious targets reflecting our confidence in Sky and the opportunity ahead. Since then, we have navigated a challenging economic environment while completing two significant projects—the accelerated satellite migration in FY25 and the acquisition and integration of Sky Free in FY26. We finish this period a stronger Sky—larger, more diversified and increasingly digital, with greater audience scale and more opportunities for growth.

What’s next for Sky New Zealand?

Looking ahead, Sky expects trading conditions to remain challenging in the first half of FY27 amid economic uncertainty. Nevertheless, it’s guiding for FY27 revenue between $825 million and $840 million, and EBITDA of $155 million to $165 million. Dividend guidance is for at least 35cps—continuing its policy of annual increases.

The company is targeting at least $10 million of additional Group EBITDA by FY28 from further business optimisation. Longer term, Sky aims to significantly lift revenue by FY31, including 20–30% from non-subscription sources, while cementing margin expansion and ongoing earnings growth.

Sky New Zealand share price snapshot

Over the past 12 months, the Sky New Zealand shares have declined 1%, slightly trailing the All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO), which is flat over the same period.
