Forget FAANG: Here Are 5 Tech Stocks with Strong Prospects
The current boom in the technology sector comes from its growing relevance in not just the technology sector, but also most other industries and markets. The primary reason for this is technology’s promise of bringing greater efficiency by simply facilitating better calculations in every aspect of production that thereby leads to lower cost.
Even this growth may have had a finite existence if machines hadn’t gotten smarter and smarter and their intelligence contained in smaller and smaller areas. This miniaturization, along with consistent price rationalization, has enabled its application in an ever-growing number of areas.
So the tech boom that we see today currently doesn’t have a finite growth period or application area. This makes the technology sector an ideal place to put your money in.
But of course, we have to play the sector just as expediently as any other, which is what makes stock picking so interesting.
Technology stocks have done reasonably well this year, returning 14.1% on average, year to date. So some are best avoided on valuation considerations, even though they’re likely to remain operationally attractive.
I’ve picked a few here that carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see Zacks Investment Research
