Concerns over the 10-year Treasury yield nearing 5% and a less dovish Federal Reserve outlook for 2025 have spurred risk-off sentiment in tech stocks. Following a two-year bull run fueled by AI, the sector now faces rising yields and valuation worries.
Wedbush analysts, led by Daniel Ives, remain optimistic despite current headwinds. “The big question is: Can tech stocks rise in 2025? The answer is a clear YES,” they stated. While challenges like Fed policies, China tariffs, and valuation fears persist, Wedbush views market pullbacks as prime buying opportunities, particularly in companies leading the AI revolution.
The firm highlights $2 trillion in anticipated AI capital expenditures reshaping the tech landscape. Upcoming earnings reports are expected to shed light on these transformative changes. Top picks to capitalize on this narrative include Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Salesforce, Palantir, Tesla, Apple, Oracle, and Snowflake.
Insights from the recent CES event further support Wedbush’s bullish stance. CIOs and IT managers cited robust demand for tech and AI-driven capital investment. Despite bond-driven volatility, Wedbush believes the medium- to long-term implications for tech remain underappreciated.
“The Street is underestimating how AI and evolving financial models will transform tech. We expect a strong year despite early-year hurdles,” analysts noted. They also foresee increased mergers and acquisitions as companies capitalize on weaknesses in the tech ecosystem, including quantum computing.
Though volatility may linger, Wedbush advises investors to stay the course by buying dips and holding onto leading tech stocks, positioning for growth as AI continues to drive innovation and value creation.
