NVIDIA, Apple, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, and Alphabet are the five Technology stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Technology stocks are shares of companies whose primary business involves the research, development, manufacturing or distribution of technology-related products and services—such as computer hardware, software, semiconductors, and internet platforms. Because these firms rely on rapid innovation and shifting consumer or business demand, their stock prices can offer substantial growth potential but also exhibit higher volatility. Investors often include technology stocks in portfolios to capture gains from emerging trends like cloud computing, artificial intelligence or 5G networks. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Technology stocks within the last several days.
