Classified as one of the FAANG stocks, encompassing Facebook (now Meta), Apple, Amazon, Nvidia and Google, Apple is also deemed one of the “Magnificent Seven” large cap tech stocks with big growth potential.
While experts largely agree that tech stocks will continue to do well in 2025, the end of last year brought expansion in other sectors as well. Overall, in 2024, the S&P 500 posted gains of 23%. Still, there’s plenty more room for growth in the large cap tech sector.
“It appears even though stocks have risen significantly for two years in a row, more upside potential remains,” said Rob Haworth, senior investment strategy director with U.S. Bank Asset Management, on the bank’s blog.
GOBankingRates spoke to experts to determine the best values for tech stocks if you already own Apple in 2025. Spoiler alert: Not all of them are part of the Magnificent Seven.
Also see five reasons you should add Apple stock to your retirement portfolio.
Tesla
Although the billionaire has his share of haters, it’s hard to deny that Elon Musk can grow successful tech companies. With that in mind, many finance experts recommend Tesla (TSLA) as a solid investment for 2025, especially if the market pulls back to make shares more affordable.
CK Zheng, co-founder and chief investment officer of ZX Squared Capital, shared why he likes the stock. “Tesla cannot be just viewed as an [electric vehicle] manufacturer. It should be viewed as an [artificial intelligence] company that will completely disrupt the automobile industry in the coming decade,” he said.
Plus, Musk’s influence on the Trump administration could help his business interests.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing
When you’re choosing stocks, it’s important to think about the companies that support the largest, most successful players in the tech industry. For instance, several experts suggested taking a closer look at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM).
“I feel TSMC is bound to win in the long term,” said Roy Benesh, chief technology officer and co-founder of eSIMple.com.
The company manufactures chips for companies such as Apple, Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices, prompting Benesh to call it “one of the most important companies that most people don’t know about in the tech scene.”
He pointed out that this strategic investment takes advantage of the growing need for semiconductor products. As your Apple stock rises in value, so should Taiwan Semiconductor. “Indeed,” Benesh said, “the close cooperation and overwhelming demand guarantee a huge potential for growth, thus making it suitable for those who wish to have a steady but sure return on investment in tech components.”
Adobe
More conservative investors could consider adding software specialist Adobe (ADBE) to their portfolios, Benesh pointed out.
“Their subscription model around the service has low volatility, which makes it attractive for risk-averse investors. They are also beneficiaries of the timely introduction of newer formats on their digital media platforms,” he said.
Oracle
Likewise, database giant Oracle (ORCL) can add stability to your portfolio, according to experts.
“If you look more at the infrastructure side of the issues, Oracle should be a good choice,” Benesh said. “Thanks to heavy investment in cloud computing, business solutions offered by Oracle will continue to be in demand.”
SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust
For investors seeking even more diversification, Phil Pecsok, founder and chief investment officer of Anacapa Advisors, recommended exchange-traded funds (ETFs) like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY). This ETF tracks the S&P 500 and includes a mix of large cap stocks, including tech stocks.
“At Anacapa Advisors, we believe picking individual stocks and trying to time the market is not the recipe for long-term success,” he said. “We recommend the SPY ETF as the safest and most reliable way to capture the strength and rally of the U.S. markets. SPY has proven to outperform almost all active managers over the medium to long terms.”
