The overall earnings picture continues to improve and most sectors are seeing stronger prospects in 2021 as the second stimulus and vaccines reach more people.
But while we can cheer at the return of retail, consumer discretionary, oil/energy, finance, etc., it’s now clear that some of the hottest sectors of 2020 are set to have another big year in 2021. These would be things like construction (mainly home building), tech and auto.
The stocks I’ve picked today are from the tech sector. They are all top-ranked stocks within the top 50% of Zacks-classified industries. And as many of us already know, that in itself is a good indication of upside potential. In addition, these companies are expected to record double-digit revenue growth rates and double or triple digit earnings growth rates this year.
What’s more, with many retail investors chasing big money with riskier bets, the share prices on these names havent kept up with their bright prospects. So their relative valuation is ridiculously cheap.
