Buy Hold Sell: 5 ASX tech stocks powering through AI panic
About this episode
The episode analyzes ASX tech stocks amidst AI upheaval and rising rates, featuring insights from industry experts.
As anyone paying even cursory attention to markets would know, the ASX tech sector has had a rough trot over the past year, down 37% as AI upheaval and rising rates took their toll. But not every stock in the sector has been dragged down with it, and the upcoming August reporting season is shaping up as a key test of who's actually benefiting from AI versus who's being eaten by it. In this episode of Buy Hold Sell, Elise McKay of Pendal and Shaun Weick of Wilson Asset Management join Livewire's Tom Stelzer to analyse three of the biggest ASX tech names that each sit on different branches of the AI tree. One is a standout performer up more than 70% year-to-date, one is a software name some have already declared dead as an AI casualty, and one is a data centre name smack bang in the middle of the infrastructure boom. They also each nominate a tech stock they're backing, including one that could be the next big Australian medtech success story. This episode was filmed Wednesday 15th July 2026.
