With so many shares competing for attention on the ASX, picking winners gets tricky—yet brokers nationwide cut through the noise with clear calls. Three technology standouts—WiseTech Global (WTC), NEXTDC (NXT), and Iress (IRE)—earn consensus buy ratings. Refinitiv data backs this: WTC at AUD 106.37 target, NXT at AUD 21.01, and IRE at AUD 10.55.

Three ASX shares that leading brokers have named as buys are listed below.

Why WTC Deserves a Closer Look

WiseTech Global, at AUD 67.10 with a AUD 22.33 billion market cap, is a global logistics softwarecompany. Its 31 December 2025 divestiture of Expedient Software—a tiny slice from the E2open deal—clears regulatory hurdles without denting FY26 guidance. This move, affecting under 0.4% of revenue and fewer than 30 staff in Australia and New Zealand, looks like smart housekeeping. Expect immaterial financial ripples, including US$5-20 million goodwill write-off.

NXT's Data Surge Signals Momentum

NEXTDC, Asia's go-to data centre provider for cloud giants and enterprises, just notched wins that scream expansion. On 24 December 2025, it secured State Significant Development approval for its S4 Sydney facility at Horsley Park, NSW (SSD-63741210). This greenlights expansion in a key market. Earlier, on 22 December, contracted utilisation rose 30% or 96MW to 412MW since 1 December, boosting the forward order book to 301MW through FY29. FY26 revenue, EBITDA, and capex guidance hold steady.

IRE's Turnaround Gathers Pace

Iress powers financial services software worldwide, from trading to pensions. Its half-year results to 30 June 2025 showed statutory NPAT at AUD 17.3 million, matching last year. Revenue dipped 3.1% to AUD 299.5 million due to divestments, with adjusted EBITDA at AUD 64.4 million. Core continuing business underlying EPS climbed 19%. Asset sales have streamlined operations and bolstered the balance sheet, funding new products. FY25 guidance stays affirmed, balancing divestment losses with core progress and R&D in wealth tech.
