5 Skyrocketing Tech Stocks With Solid Growth Potential
Read MoreHide Full Article
The technology sector is booming and at the center of the current market rally. It has shown strong resilience in one of the worst economic environments the United States has ever seen.
Most of the strength is being driven by the biggest names in the sector like Facebook , Apple (AAPL - Free Report) , Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) and Microsoft (MSFT - Free Report) courtesy of a purely digital shift in consumer habits to work or entertainment or shopping from home. In fact, the combined market value of the four companies is now close to $5 trillion, with Apple claiming the top spot at nearly $1.5 trillion. Only Facebook out of the four has a market cap of below $1 trillion.
These big tech stocks helped the broader stock market buoy up. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index crossed the 10,000 milestone for the first time in the last trading session. Hopes of strong sales and earnings growth led investors flocking to this sector.
Further, technology has a solid Zacks Sector Rank, being in the top 32%, suggesting continued outperformance in the coming months. The long-term outlook for the sector remains strong given the rapid emergence of cutting-edge technology, including cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, wearables, VR headsets, drones, virtual reality, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and 5G technology.
