The ASX 200 shares I think smart investors are buying after the tech selloff
Share
Listen to the news

The recent tech selloff has shifted the tone across the market.

High-growth names have come under pressure, valuations have reset, and concerns around artificial intelligence (AI) and interest rates have made investors more cautious.

But these periods tend to do something important. They separate sentiment from fundamentals.

And in my experience, that is often when long-term investors start leaning back in.

Here are three ASX 200 shares I think are attracting attention after the recent pullback.

WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)

WiseTech has been one of the more heavily sold-off tech names.

That reflects a mix of factors, including valuation concerns and broader uncertainty around how AI could reshape parts of the software industry.

But when I look at the business, I still see an ASX 200 share building a truly global logistics platform. Its software is deeply embedded in customer workflows, which creates switching costs and supports recurring revenue.

I think that matters. Even if growth moderates or sentiment takes time to recover, the underlying platform continues to expand.

For investors willing to look beyond the short term, I think that could make the current environment more interesting.

REA Group Ltd (ASX: REA)

REA Group has also seen pressure, despite operating one of the most dominant digital platforms in Australia.

Its position in online real estate listings gives it a powerful network effect. Buyers and sellers naturally gravitate to where the activity is, which reinforces its leadership.

The property market can move in cycles, and that can influence short-term performance.

But I think the long-term story is more stable than that. REA has consistently found ways to grow revenue through pricing, product expansion, and increased engagement.

For me, that combination of market position and monetisation potential remains compelling.

Hub24 Ltd (ASX: HUB)

Hub24 is not always grouped with traditional tech names, but it shares many of the same characteristics.

It operates a platform used by financial advisers to manage client investments, and that platform continues to grow as more funds flow onto it.

What I find interesting is how that growth tends to build over time. As advisers adopt the platform, it becomes embedded in their processes. That creates a base of funds that is both recurring and scalable.

In a softer market, flows may slow at times. But as confidence returns, I think platforms like Hub24 are well positioned to benefit from renewed activity.

Foolish takeaway

Selloffs in the tech sector can feel uncomfortable, but they also tend to create opportunities.

The key, in my view, is focusing on businesses that still have strong underlying models, even if their share prices have come under pressure.

WiseTech, REA Group, and Hub24 all operate in different parts of the market, but each has characteristics that could support long-term growth.

For investors thinking beyond the current volatility, I think they could be great long-term investments.
