    May 29, 2026, 8:21 PM EDT. Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO) shares have fallen 62% from a $196.52 peak in June 2025, pressured by a broader tech sector sell-off linked to AI disruption fears and prior overvaluation concerns. Currently trading at $74.16, Xero is down 34% year-to-date. Despite recent losses, 14 of 15 analysts rate Xero shares a buy or strong buy, with an average 12-month target price implying a 76% gain to $130.81, and some forecasts projecting up to 218% upside. The company's recurring subscription revenue offers predictable cash flow, underpinned by high customer retention from accounting and payroll services.
