4 Top Tech Stocks To Watch Before Monday

In today’s stock market, investing in tech stocks may not be the toughest task, provided you know what you’re investing into. The industry ranges from tech giants such as Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ: GOOGL) to emerging tech companies such as UiPath Inc (NYSE: PATH). So, as long as you do your research and know what the company has to offer, you will likely benefit in the long term. After all, most would agree that technology will be key in defining our future. 

For instance, Google claims that it has developed an artificial intelligence software that can design computer chips faster than humans can. Not only that, a chip that would take humans months to design can be completed by its new AI in less than six hours. These are bold claims but is it really that far-fetched given how much technology has advanced? So, it is safe to assume that the tech industry would continue to thrive regardless of how tech stocks perform in the stock market today. On that note, here are four top tech stocks that may interest you today.

CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity company that is based in California. The company’s Falcon platform provides the means to detect cybersecurity threats and stop breaches. In detail, its platform is the first multi-tenant, cloud-native, intelligent security solution that is capable of protecting different types of workloads. CRWD stock has been trading sideways since the start of the year. However, it is noteworthy that the stock has risen by more than 140% over the past year. 

Last week, the company announced its first-quarter earnings report. Its revenue came in at $302.8 million, up by 70%. Out of which, subscription revenue was $281.2 million. Meanwhile, operating cash flow was $147.5 million. For a cybersecurity company, new subscriptions are paramount and the company added 1,524 new subscriptions within the first quarter. Overall, the company’s fundamentals seem to be trending in the right direction.

On a side note, CrowdStrike Falcon was selected as one of Ernst & Young LLP’s preferred cybersecurity tech platforms back in May. Hence, strengthening the alliance between the two industry-leading organizations. This alliance would seamlessly integrate cybersecurity operations and risk management to help aid enterprises around the world, and bolster business resiliency.

Microsoft Corporation

Next up, we have the tech titan that requires no introduction, Microsoft. If you are familiar with personal computers, then you would likely recognize this industry-leading software company. Despite its market capitalization of over $1 trillion, it is impressive to note that MSFT stock has risen by more than 35% over the past year. 

The company just announced recently that it will be making streaming sticks that would allow gamers to play “on any TV or monitor”. Hence, expanding its Xbox gaming beyond consoles. It appears that Microsoft is collaborating with TV manufacturers to embed its Xbox cloud gaming software into its devices. This may potentially allow gamers with these smart TVs to stream Xbox video games. Of course, this does not mean that Microsoft will discontinue its consoles. But the expansion to smart TVs will allow more gamers to access the services without owning a console. 

On top of that, Microsoft also announced a strategic cloud partnership with Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) earlier this month. The partnership aims at accelerating the firm’s digital transformation and shaping the future of innovation in the financial services industry. So, would you say MSFT stock is a top tech stock to buy right now?
