When it comes to tech stocks, investors are mostly spoilt for choice in the stock market today. For the most part, the tech sector is home to a wide array of companies that service a multitude of global industries now. Because of this, most investors would likely find a tech stock that suits their investment strategy. Now, as seasoned investors would know, 2020 was a banner year for tech stocks. After all, the industry has and continues to play a major role in allowing us to adapt to the pandemic. As such, it would not surprise me to see investors eyeing the top tech stocks in the stock market now.
For one thing, the tech industry is also one that is focused on growth. This is evident as even upcoming names in the field continue to grow and expand their services rapidly. As of last week, online advertising firm Marin Software (NASDAQ: MRIN) is now working with ad tech company Criteo (NASDAQ: CRTO). Through this partnership, joint customers can easily manage and optimize their marketing solutions and media campaigns via the MarinOne platform. Given the current reliance on digital advertising in the current age, the current move would serve to benefit both companies.
Elsewhere, even tech giants like Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) are finding new ways to further refine their offerings. On Friday, the company revealed that it would loosen the system requirements needed to run its latest operating system, Windows 11. Ideally, this would allow more consumers and organizations alike to access its world-class software. Overall, these are but two instances highlighting the booming tech industry today. On that note, could one of these tech stocks be your next big investment?

Another name to consider in the tech industry now would be Zoom Video Communications. For many tech investors, ZM stock was a go-to as teleconferencing became the new trend amidst the pandemic. All in all, Zoom exploded onto the scene with its video telephony and online chat services. The likes of which operate via its cloud-based peer-to-peer software platform. Fast forward to over 16 months later and investors could be turning their radars towards ZM stock again.
If anything, this would be the case today as Zoom is set to report its second-quarter fiscal after the closing bell. With ZM stock currently trading at $344.46 as of 2:32 p.m. ET, could it be worth watching?
Well, Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) equity analyst Meta Marshall seems to believe so. Marshall cites the continuation of work from home trends and “structural increase” in video call usage support longer-term growth for Zoom. Notably, consensus estimates suggest that the company could report earnings per share of $1.16 on revenue of $3.99 billion.
