The 12 Best Tech Stocks To Buy for 2023

As tech stocks are some of the best-performing stocks which you can purchase, it's well worth acquiring a diverse variety of tech stocks in 2021.

In this post, you'll discover a list of the top tech stocks to purchase in 2021. This is especially important as tech stocks are resilient and retain their value in uncertain economic times.

Generally speaking, the best stocks are those that have the potential to grow in value over time. The best stocks for investing don't necessarily have to be the most popular, but they do need to provide a good return on investment. These companies also need to be able to adapt with changing technology and market conditions.

The Best Tech Stocks to Buy in 2021:

Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA)

Alibaba Group is a Chinese-based e-commerce platform that owns Alibaba, Aliexpress, and Alipay.

• Alibaba primarily connects businesses around the world with manufacturers and suppliers in China.
• Aliexpress is a trading platform where international consumers can purchase inexpensive Chinese-made goods from a multitude of Chinese-based sellers. 
• Lastly, Alipay is a mobile form of payment that can be used in 110 countries.

It's well worth investing in the Alibaba Group as in the past three years Alibaba has increased its annual sales by approximately 46.2%.

In comparison, in the same time period, Amazon has only managed to increase its sales by 27.7%.

Also, keep in mind that China has a population of roughly 1.4 billion people and has a growing middle class that supports Aliexpress and Alipay, while small to medium-sized businesses around the world are keen to make bulk orders for their businesses through Alibaba.

Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG)

Alphabet owns Google, which remains one of the most influential tech companies in the world. While Alphabet stocks are not cheap, many financial analysts believe that Alphabet is severely undervalued, particularly as Google's cloud offering has increased in revenue by 47% in the past year and is set to grow further in 2021. 

As statistics show that Google's cloud is gaining market share from its competitors with each passing month.

You may also be tempted to invest in Alphabet as Alphabet also owns YouTube and YouTube has become increasingly popular due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

In fact, during the pandemic, YouTube's revenue from advertisements increased by a staggering 46%, which equates to roughly $6.89 billion dollars.

Just keep in mind that Alphabet's share price may dip from time to time due to the anti-trust lawsuits which Alphabet faces periodically. That being said, while Alphabet's shares decrease slightly from time to time, they always make a quick recovery.

So if you're looking to make a quick profit or to hold onto Alphabet shares in the long term, it's well worth acquiring Alphabet shares every time that its share price takes a temporary dip.

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN)

Amazon is one of the largest companies in the world and offers a large digital marketplace where users can purchase brand name items as well as cheaper generic items, from the comfort of their own homes.

Whether you already own Amazon shares or not, it's still a great time to acquire Amazon shares as experts believe that their shares are still undervalued.

The first reason why Amazon is undervalued is that Amazon has competitive advantages over its competition and there are multiple barriers for potential competitors to navigate.

For example, as Amazon has invested in its infrastructure and logistics and owns warehouses across the globe, it's almost impossible for new competitors or smaller competitors to steal sizeable chunks of Amazon's market share.  

This is due to the fact that few businesses could realistically afford to build massive warehouses across the globe, as Amazon has.  

Some of the countries where Amazon has built huge warehouses include Australia, Brazil, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, and India.

Even if a major competition did manage to open comparable international warehouses, Amazon has already established itself as the industry leader. So most potential newcomers will not bother to take on Amazon.

Another reason to invest in Amazon is that it has multiple revenue streams and offers a popular entertainment streaming platform named Amazon Prime, which is becoming increasingly popular.

AT&T (NYSE: T)

AT&T is one of the largest telecommunications companies in the United States and is well worth investing in if you're interested in earning reliable, passive income.

So whether you're looking to invest in blue-chip stocks or you want to decrease your risk as an investor by adding a few resilient stocks to your investment portfolio, it's a wise idea to invest in AT&T this year.

Another key reason to invest in AT&T is that they have acquired Warner Bros. in 2018 as well as the popular TV and film streaming service HBO Max.

As Warner Bros. has a long list of high-profile movies slated to screen in 2021, it's highly likely that its share price will increase before the end of 2021.
