RBC Capital Markets is highlighting four ASX-listed technology companies it believes can outperform, even after a difficult period for the broader sector. The call comes as artificial intelligence continues to reshape the market, creating clear winners and losers across software and tech-related businesses.

Australian technology shares have faced a tough year, with many stocks hit hard earlier in the year during the so-called SaaSpocalypse. That sell-off pressured valuations across the sector and led to a broad share price rout, especially among software names.

Against that backdrop, RBC appears to see opportunity in selected ASX tech firms that may have been oversold or are better placed to benefit from current industry trends. The central theme is that while AI is disrupting parts of the market, it is also helping identify companies with stronger positioning, resilience and upside potential.

The broader takeaway for investors is that the recent weakness in tech has not affected every business equally. In RBC's view, some Australian technology stocks now stand out as potential outperformers as the market separates the companies best equipped to navigate the changing AI-driven landscape.
