What are technology stocks?

Technology stocks are the shares of publicly listed companies that are involved in the tech sector. They might encompass anything from bioscience to semiconductor companies. They’re usually on the cusp of innovation and often have proprietary services that no one else offers – or very few others.

What makes technology stocks so special?

Tech stocks are often, although not always, either growth, undervalued or momentum stocks. This means there are plenty of opportunities for traders to find companies that could make them a sizeable profit. Having said this, no trade or investment is a guarantee, and you could lose money on any company.

Still, growth tech stocks can flourish, going from being heavily undervalued to market-dominating. Typically, if their fundamentals are right and they have substantial market share, or a monopoly on a technology, they have the potential to make traders a decent profit.

Tech growth stocks don’t typically pay dividends (with the exception of a few, including Ubiquiti on our list). Instead, they reinvest their profits back into the company to fuel progress.

Momentum stocks are also worth considering. These belong to companies that are on a massive growth trajectory and are likely to continue their growth for some time to come.

Finally, the tech sector is always going to be a place to find innovative and well-priced stocks, because progress is speeding up at a lightning pace. With new inventions and the optimisation of existing tech constantly occurring, the tech sector is forever poised to deliver returns – if you know where to look.

Risks of technology stocks

While some tech stocks have been on a bullish run since April (particularly seen in the S&P 500 Index),1 positive market sentiment can’t last forever. And although we mentioned momentum stocks can continue their upward trajectory, not all of them will keep growing.

In addition to this, here are a few other risks of trading technology stocks:

  • Volatility: All stocks experience volatility, but tech stocks can face more of it than other sectors. This is partly because technology is constantly changing, with new players and innovations always coming onto the scene. Competition is fierce
  • Inaccurate valuations: Tech companies might achieve high gross margins but still be unprofitable – especially in their early years. This is because they often spend a chunk of funds on staff and marketing
  • Changing regulations: As technology, such as AI, evolves, regulations and laws are being put into place to curb unethical behaviour or misuse. Companies can be crushed under the weight of keeping up with these regulations. On the other hand, this does breed new innovations to help businesses comply

FAQs about technology stocks

What are the benefits of stock trading tech shares?

You get exposure to rapid innovation and cutting-edge technology. And because the sector is so all-encompassing, you enjoy diversity in your portfolio, from AI to vehicles and everything in between. 

How do I pick tech stocks?

In our article, we’ve focused on the stock price growth over the past three months as of 24 August 2025, but there are other metrics to use to evaluate tech stocks. These include a company’s revenue, earnings, cash flow and price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio.

How much should a beginner stock trader spend?

The rules for beginner investors aren’t much different from experienced people; it’s vital that you only trade what you can afford to lose. In other words, you won’t be destitute or have to do without necessities if you lose your money.

When you’re just starting out, you might want to trade using a small amount of funds to test the waters while you’re figuring out your strategy and fine-tuning your risk management plan.
