Story Highlights

Investors looking for strong returns can invest in the much-happening technology sector. In this article, we have highlighted five tech stocks that are expected to perform better than the broader market in this current uncertain macroeconomic environment.

The technology sector is known for its high growth potential. The need to continuously innovate and evolve to keep up with changing trends makes the sector very exciting. In this context, the latest hype created by Artificial Intelligence (AI) has sparked worldwide competition among tech firms, which appears to be promising for the expansion of the industry.

Despite the lingering macroeconomic uncertainty and high inflation, the Dow Jones U.S. Technology Index and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index (NDX) are up 35.6% and 28.3%, respectively, so far in 2023. Thus, rising interest in AI should continue to support tech companies.
