The Technology sector has produced strong returns for investors in recent years and it’s easy to see why. Today, we are in the midst of a tech revolution – powered by exciting new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and big data – and this is creating opportunities for investors. Looking for the best tech stocks to buy for 2025? Here are three companies that could be worth a look.
Amazon
Starting with a ‘Magnificent 7’ stock, I like the look of Amazon (AMZN:NASDAQ) as we start 2025. I believe it has the potential to outperform this year.
One reason I’m bullish on this Big Tech company is that it has multiple revenue drivers. Today, Amazon operates in a vast range of high-growth industries including online shopping, cloud computing, AI, video streaming, digital advertising, self-driving cars (it owns Zoox), digital healthcare, and computer chips, so it has many ways to win in 2025.
Another is that the company’s financials look strong. This year, Amazon’s revenue is projected to increase 11% to $706 billion while earnings per share (EPS) are forecast to rise about 21% to $6.19.
Add in the fact that the shares are in a strong uptrend and the valuation is near historical lows (the P/E ratio is under 40), and I think the setup looks attractive as we begin 2025. That said, a slowdown in consumer spending or enterprise spending could derail my investment thesis.
CrowdStrike
Over the next decade, businesses are going to spend a fortune on cybersecurity in order to protect themselves against cyberthreats. And I see CrowdStrike (CRWD:NASDAQ) as a good way to capitalise on this trend.
This company is the leader in the cybersecurity space, serving 300 of the Fortune 500 businesses. And revenues are growing at a rapid clip. Over the last five financial years, the company’s top line has increased from $250 million to $3.1 billion. For the years ending 31 January 2025 and 31 January 2026, Wall Street expects revenue of $3.9 billion and $4.8 billion respectively.
Now, this is a volatile stock because profits are still small and the valuation is high. Taking a long-term view, however, I think it has significant potential. Today, the company’s market cap is still relatively low (by tech company standards) at $87 billion. So, there’s plenty of room for growth.
Uber
Finally, I see Uber (UBER:NYSE) as another top tech stock for 2025. Its share price has fallen recently, and I believe there’s value on offer at current levels.
One thing I like about this company is that it’s constantly adding new revenue streams. Today on the Uber app you can hail a taxi, rent a bike, book a flight, book a boat trip, get food delivered, and much more.
I also like the company’s recent move into digital advertising. This is a very lucrative industry and exposure to it could really propel Uber’s revenues and earnings higher in the years ahead.
Zooming in on the financials, the numbers look strong. This year, for example, earnings per share are forecast to rise 29% to $2.36 (putting the forward-looking P/E ratio at less than 30 today).
This is another stock that could be volatile in the short term. However, I believe long-term investors will be rewarded. It’s worth noting that analysts at Goldman Sachs have a price target of $96 here. That’s roughly 45% above the current share price.
