NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Palantir Technologies are the three 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 technology products and services—such as software, hardware, semiconductors, internet platforms, and telecommunications. Investors often view these stocks as growth-oriented, since technology firms tend to reinvest earnings into research and innovation, but they can also be more volatile than companies in more mature industries.
