5 Top Tech Stocks To Check Out Right Now

Despite the Federal Reserve’s latest monetary policy update, tech stocks continue to gain in the stock market today. This is evident as the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite heads towards newer heights as of today’s opening bell. If anything, the current focus on tech stocks makes sense in the larger scheme of things. For the most part, the pandemic supercharged the world’s reliance on tech. From the current immense demand for enterprise software services, fintechs, and even streaming tech, this is apparent. So much so that tech firms are also among the names turning heads during the current earnings season.

For instance, we could take a look at Fastly (NYSE: FSLY) now. All in all, the cloud computing firm reported solid figures in its latest fiscal quarter reports yesterday. Fastly raked in a total revenue of $87 million and posted a loss per share of 11 cents. When you compare this to analyst estimates of $83.7 million and a loss of 19 cents, Fastly appears to be gaining momentum.

At the same time, Chinese tech names like Tencent  (OTCMKTS: TCEHY) are not slowing down as well. Earlier today, the company launched three new semiconductor chips today. These chips serve to conduct artificial intelligence (AI), video transcoding, and cloud computing-based operations respectively. Overall, there seems to be no shortage of excitement in the tech world today. On that note, check out these top tech stocks making plays in the stock market now.

Microsoft Corporation

Another major name to know in the tech space now would be Microsoft. Through its industry leading portfolio of tech offerings, the company serves consumers and organizations across the globe. Whether it is through its Office productivity software or Azure cloud computing services, Microsoft brings a lot to the table. Safe to say, few can boast a tech portfolio as impressive as the company.

Despite its current momentum, the company continues to adapt its operations to the latest trends in tech. Namely, Microsoft is reportedly looking to launch its answer to Meta’s (NASDAQ: FB) metaverse. Now, Microsoft’s plans in this space are not entirely new. In fact, the company aims to provide a more work-focused version of the metaverse. As part of this initiative, Microsoft Teams will start featuring AI-enabled avatars and immersive workspaces.

As Microsoft seems to be betting on the metaverse, could MSFT stock be worth investing in for you?

International Business Machines Corporation

Last but not least, we have the International Business Machines Corporation, or IBM for short. With a major presence in over 171 countries globally, IBM is undoubtedly a titan in the tech world today. Now, what does IBM do exactly might you ask? Well, the company is active in a wide array of tech-related fields, so a bit of everything to be honest. By and large, it has divisions that focus on cloud computing, enterprise software, and even quantum computing, to name a few.

Even with all of this, IBM continues to find ways to refine its massive operations. Earlier today, the company officially spun off its infrastructure services arm, Kyndryl (NYSE: KD). Right off the bat, the new company currently boasts a quarterly revenue of about $19 billion. Seeing as Kyndryl is among the company’s lower margin and less flexible departments, the move makes sense. Now, IBM can focus on its more prominent growth areas while the Kyndryl team can focus entirely on identifying specific industry trends. All things considered, is IBM stock worth watching right now?
