4 Top Tech Stocks For Your List Tomorrow
Tech stocks are still some of the top performers on the stock market today. In fact, some might say that this is because the coronavirus pandemic continues to ravage the world. To elaborate, some of the best tech stocks in 2020 are companies that supported consumers and businesses during the pandemic. We saw the likes of Zoom (NASDAQ: ZM) and The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD) soar to new heights thanks to this. But now, as vaccine rollouts and nationwide inoculation plans set in, investors might be wondering if the tech industry can maintain its momentum.
Well, the good thing about the tech sector is that it is constantly innovating and improving upon itself. Yesterday, news broke that IBM (NYSE: IBM) improved its quantum computing capabilities by a hundred-fold. IBM said, “Computations that take months now will take mere hours.” Adding to that, some of the largest names in tech continue to grow at break-neck speeds. We saw this amidst the current big tech earnings season. By all means, there will always be another limit to overcome along with new challenges to face. Even as the economy begins to recover, people will still come to rely on tech. Correspondingly, investors will likely continue flocking to the sector. Given these points, do you have these top tech stocks on your watchlist?
