Technology stocks are shares of companies whose primary business involves the development, manufacturing or distribution of technology products and services—such as software, hardware, semiconductors, cloud computing and IT services. Investors often view them as growth-oriented assets because many of these firms reinvest earnings into research and innovation. Consequently, technology stocks can exhibit higher volatility compared with more established industries.
