3 Undervalued European Tech Stocks to Buy After the CeasefireSubmitted by Dan Schmidt. Article Published: 4/23/2026. 
Key Points
- The April 8 Iran ceasefire triggered a 3.7% rally in the STOXX 600, with European tech surging more than 5% and signaling a potential sector recovery.
- SAP, Spotify, and Prosus each fell roughly 25% to 30% in 2026 but now show bullish technical signals, including positive RSI and MACD crossovers.
- All three companies trade below historical valuations despite solid fundamentals, and could be candidates to rebound as risk appetites grow.

Markets are once again showing a renewed appetite for risk following news of the Iran ceasefire, and one corner of the market looking particularly attractive is European tech. Many of these companies remain significantly undervalued relative to peers and historical averages, and emerging trends point to a possible tech revival in Europe. The three companies below could be among the best ways to play this growing rally. Why European Tech Stocks Have More Room to RallyThe European STOXX 600 Index returned 17% in 2025 — its best year since 2021 — and entered 2026 with three tailwinds: falling interest rates, fiscal expansion as Germany relaxed its debt brake, and a rotation away from some overvalued U.S. tech names. Markets can turn quickly, though, and European equities tumbled when hostilities escalated in the Middle East. Add a tariff scare to the mix, and the STOXX 600 fell nearly 12% in a month amid fears of a regional recession.
When the SpaceX IPO launches, most investors will already be too late. The real opportunity isn't the IPO itself - it's the infrastructure behind it.

While retail waits for a ticker that doesn't exist yet, early money is moving into this supplier at a fraction of its potential value. See the small-cap stock powering the SpaceX buildout today
When the April 8 ceasefire was announced, the STOXX 600 posted its biggest one-day gain in more than four years, jumping 3.7% by the close. Because Europe is heavily dependent on energy imports from the Middle East, it was not surprising to see European indices rally more than U.S. peers. The real surprise was the outperformance of the European tech sector, which surged more than 5% despite being relatively insulated from oil shocks. That tech outperformance suggests risk-seeking behavior is returning and that institutional investors may be behind the move. European tech has underperformed year-to-date in 2026, with several large-cap names bearing the brunt of selling. As tariff fears and Middle East headwinds ease, investors could be bargain-hunting in the tech space; several major firms now trade at valuations well below historical norms. These European tech names don’t just look cheap on valuation — technical tailwinds are forming too. When technical indicators flip bullish, it often signals that institutional buying is ramping up. Each of the three companies below has both fundamental and technical catalysts that could finally ignite their shares. SAP: Management Shows Confidence With Share Repurchase ProgramFew European tech names have been hit harder in 2026 than SAP SE (NYSE: SAP). The stock is down more than 25% year-to-date, returning to levels last seen in early 2024. A disappointing guidance update — reflecting moderating growth in the cloud backlog — was the primary driver after the company’s Q4 2025 earnings release in January. That said, total cloud backlog remains above €77 billion (about $87 billion) and gross margins are near 75%, so the sell-off appears driven by a mix of geopolitical concerns and company-specific worries. Management has signaled confidence by announcing a new €10 billion (approx. $11.3 billion) buyback program over two years — roughly 10% of available shares at current depressed prices. 
Following the April ceasefire, SAP shares finally broke out of their downtrend and the technical indicators are turning constructive. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has moved above 50 into bullish territory, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) produced a bullish crossover even before the ceasefire news reached the market. Spotify: Suppressed Valuation Despite Revenue Growth and Margin ExpansionSpotify Technology Inc. (NYSE: SPOT) also experienced heavy selling earlier this year, falling nearly 30% in January before the Iran conflict intensified. CEO Daniel Ek transitioned to executive chairman, and advertising revenue slowed faster than expected in Q4 2025. Still, Spotify reported revenue up 13% year-over-year and gross margins of 33.1% — an improvement of more than 80 basis points year-over-year. Monthly active users continue to grow, and management expects to exceed the €2.9 billion (approx. $3.4 billion) in free cash flow it generated in 2025. 
Despite improving top-line growth and expanding margins, SPOT trades at the low end of its historical valuation range — roughly 33 times forward earnings. If Spotify can deliver the roughly 15% revenue growth it projected for Q1 2026, margin expansion could drive meaningful compounding. Technically, the stock has started to breakout: SPOT is using the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) as support and the RSI shows rising upward momentum. Prosus NV: No Longer Buoyed by Tencent StakeInternet investor Prosus NV (OTCMKTS: PROSY) holds a 23% stake in Chinese tech firm Tencent Music Entertainment Group (NYSE: TME), a position acquired in 2021 for $14.6 billion. That Tencent stake gives Prosus investors bundled exposure to both companies, and the current value of that holding exceeds Prosus’s market capitalization. With the stock trading at a steep discount to net asset value, new CEO Fabricio Bloisi has begun implementing buybacks. 
Prosus shares have also started to recover after a deep slide. The stock was down nearly 30% year-to-date, but a recent surge cleared the long-term downtrend that had been intact since late 2025. Bullish MACD and RSI signals suggest this breakout could be sustainable, so investors should consider watching OTC stocks like Prosus as part of any European tech exposure. |
