Apple, NVIDIA, Advanced Micro Devices, Palantir Technologies, Alphabet, Trade Desk, and Microsoft are the seven Technology stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Technology stocks are shares of companies whose primary business involves the development, manufacturing, or distribution of technological goods and services—such as software, hardware, semiconductors, internet platforms, and telecommunications. Investors often view them as growth-oriented assets because many tech firms reinvest earnings into research and expansion rather than paying high dividends. As a result, technology stocks can offer significant upside potential but also tend to exhibit higher volatility compared to more established, dividend-paying sectors. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Technology stocks within the last several days.
