13 Most Promising Tech Stocks According to Analysts

In this piece, we will take a look at the 13 most promising tech stocks according to analysts. If you want to skip our coverage of the latest developments in the technology industry, then you can skip the introduction and take a look at the 5 Most Promising Tech Stocks According to Analysts.

The technology industry is arguably the one of the largest and most important in the world. Tech powers up millions of gadgets everyday and has a presence in both industries and personal use. Its rise has also been over a short time period when compared to other big sectors such as crude oil.

2023 has also been the year of tech stocks in an environment plagued by rapid interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. The year started out with widespread uncertainty about the future of the stock market and the economy, since record high inflation had spurred the Fed to rapidly increase interest rates. Investors were worried that excessive tightening would tip the economy into a recession, and they adjusted their bets accordingly by taking money out of risky technology stocks and into safer assets such as the U.S. dollar and gold.

However, the massive popularity of ChatGPT, the world’s first generative artificial intelligence model made available for public use, flipped the conversation. Suddenly, no one wanted to miss out on the potential of A.I. to disrupt the world just like the smartphone had a little over a decade ago. This optimism was reflected in big technology stocks, as Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), and Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) all soaring.

Now, with the year coming to an end, the technology industry of today has come quite far from where it stood at the start of the year. While A.I. has been the talk of the town, several other sectors have also injected fervor amongst investors. One report that often lists emerging technology trends before they make it to the public sphere is the Gartner Strategic Technology Trends Report. For 2023, this list shares more technology trends than just A.I. For instance, one sector that Gartner believes carries the potential to transform how businesses deal with risk is the Digital Immune System. This rather interesting sector is a self evaluating software that monitors a firm’s broader software environment to make sure any bug or security related downtimes do not affect customer experience.

Apart from the Digitial Immune System, also included are artificial intelligence and the metaverse which we’ve talked about in a lot of detail (you can check out 12 Best Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks To Buy According to Hedge Funds and 11 Most Promising Metaverse Stocks To Buy According To Hedge Funds). These are met by technology sectors called Superapps and Industry Cloud Platforms. Both are already offered by several companies, and their popularity also depends on geography. When it comes to Superapps, they are more common in Asia. Two of the most popular Superapps in Asia are offered by Tencent Holdings Limited (OTCMKTS:TCEHY) and Grab Holdings Limited (NASDAQ:GRAB). These allow users a one stop shop for all of their needs such as booking transportation, ordering groceries, or sending money. A Superapp being a hot technology is really unintuitive since the significant computational power offered by even a mid tier smartphone today is put to good use by allowing the user to do nearly everything with their device.

So, with 2023 heading to a close, we decided to take a look at the most promising technology stocks according to analysts. Some notable picks are SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOUN), AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS), and Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ:AEHR).

Our Methodology

To make our list of the most promising technology stocks according to analysts, we ranked all technology companies with a market capitalization greater than $300 million by the average analyst share price percentage upside. Out of these, the stocks with the highest upside were chosen. For these stocks we have also mentioned hedge fund sentiment. Hedge funds’ top 10 consensus stock picks outperformed the S&P 500 Index by more than 140 percentage points over the last 10 years (see the details here). That’s why we pay very close attention to this often-ignored indicator.

AI, Tariffs, Nuclear Power: One Undervalued Stock Connects ALL the Dots (Before It Explodes!)

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

  • It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
  • It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
  • It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

  • The AI infrastructure supercycle
  • The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
  • A surge in U.S. LNG exports
  • And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.

As an investor, you want to be on the side of the winners, and AI is the winning ticket.

The Talent Pool is Overflowing: The world’s brightest minds are flocking to AI.

From computer scientists to mathematicians, the next generation of innovators is pouring its energy into this field.

This influx of talent guarantees a constant stream of groundbreaking ideas and rapid advancements.

By investing in AI, you’re essentially backing the future.

The future is powered by artificial intelligence, and the time to invest is NOW.
