10 of the Best Tech Stocks to Buy for 2021[财迷]
Apple is the largest publicly traded company in the world at a valuation of roughly $2.4 trillion, and it continues to get bigger. The stock recently hit all-time highs on news that Apple was seeking to boost production of its next iPhone by 20%, a bullish indication for expected demand, especially considering last year saw heightened demand due to a "super cycle" in which millions of users upgraded. Although Apple has been seeking to diversify its sources of revenue for years now, fiscal second-quarter results still saw more than 53% of sales come from the iPhone, so it's little wonder AAPL stock has been hitting all-time highs.
Named one of U.S. News' 10 best stocks to buy for 2021, this home electronics company earned an automatic spot among the list of the best tech stocks to buy for the coming year. Its sleek, easy-to-use speakers can be voice-controlled and wirelessly connected across the house, and the Sonos app is compatible with major music-streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music. Far and away the best-performing stock on this list, Sonos raised its fiscal 2021 outlook in each of its last two quarters, with revenue up 90% year over year last quarter. A surge in spending on home entertainment, as well as a trend among existing customers to purchase more Sonos products has been bullish for Sonos, which is still the least valuable company on this list at a valuation of more than $4 billion.
Like Match, Adobe is another pick that doubles as a bet on a core part of humanity: creativity. The Adobe Creative Cloud includes a handful of software services that are absolutely vital to modern-day creative pursuits, from filmmaking and graphic design to photography and digital content creation. Its Adobe Creative Cloud, which includes services like Acrobat Pro, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop and Premier, is a major revenue driver, contributing to 25% year-over-year growth in its dominant digital media segment last quarter. It's rare to find a company of Adobe's size – it's worth about $290 billion – consistently growing revenue by 20% or so per year. Another best-in-class pick, Adobe has earned its spot as one of the best tech stocks to buy for 2021.
Investing in foreign markets has its pros and its cons. E-commerce giant Alibaba, for instance, offers a great opportunity for U.S. investors to gain exposure to the growing Chinese middle class in one of the most high-potential markets on the planet. But the Chinese government also plays by its own rules and wields enormous power, a fact BABA shareholders are all too familiar with this year as Chinese regulators crack down on Big Tech in their own country. China levied a record $2.8 billion fine against Alibaba in April for using heavy-handed tactics with merchants to force them to use its platform. At 25 times earnings, however, BABA's substandard performance in 2021 presents a nice midyear buying opportunity. It's not often a company growing so robustly – revenue surged 64% last quarter – goes for such a reasonable multiple. Now playing nice with Chinese regulators, Alibaba's antitrust issues are more than factored into current prices.$
