We recently published a list of Why These 15 Large Tech Stocks Are Skyrocketing So Far in 2025. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER) stands against other large tech stocks that are skyrocketing so far in 2025.
Tech stocks have done much better than expected in the past two years, and if the economy continues to grow and AI hype continues, it is likely that the next two years could also see better-than-expected growth in the technology sector.
Large tech companies have been spearheading the development of data centers and AI and these have delivered the most gains in recent years. This doesn’t seem to be changing as growth has remained solid and more tailwinds could be in play as companies double down on AI.
It is worth looking into which ones have delivered the most gains so far this year, as they could end up being the ones delivering the most gains for the full year.
