NVIDIA, Apple, and Meta Platforms are the three Technology stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Technology stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary business involves the development, manufacture or distribution of technology products and services—ranging from semiconductors and hardware to software, cloud computing and internet platforms. Because these firms often operate in rapidly evolving markets driven by innovation, their stocks can offer high growth potential but also tend to exhibit greater volatility and risk compared with more established, slow‐growing sectors. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Technology stocks within the last several days.
