Channel: Capital.com

[1]
Many big tech companies...
[3]
...have seen their stock prices soar...
[5]
...since the beginning of the pandemic...
[7]
...as large sections of society...
[10]
...worked, shocked and even socialised from home
[13]
Apple hit the 3 trillion dollar mark
[15]
Profit more than tripling...
[17]
...revenue soaring for $108 billion
[19]
Who gets the Oscar?
[20]
Microsoft!
[22]
Today, stocks for the big five tech companies...
[25]
...account for more than 20% of the value of the S&P 500...
[31]
...an index of the largest 500 companies in the US
[35]
A number of analysts believe...
[36]
...that the tech heavyweights are overvalued...
[39]
...and that their stock prices could face a drastic correction...
[43]
...in the event of any possible market crash
[45]
However there are a number of tech and biotech stocks...
[49]
...that could weather any storm and thrive
[53]
These are companies...
[54]
...that are providing solutions for the global economy...
[57]
...in this pandemic age
[60]
Here鈥檚 our top five tech and biotech stocks...
[62]
...and also a couple that may underperform this year
[71]
In at number five...
[72]
...it's Marvell Technology
[74]
And no, it's got nothing to do...
[76]
...with the series of superhero films
[78]
Shares of Marvell surging
[82]
the American tech company...
[83]
...produces semiconductors
[85]
Those tiny chips...
[86]
...that make our smartphones, computers, cars...
[89]
...and all sorts of other electrical devices, operate
[93]
this vital piece of wafer thin tech...
[96]
is central to what's being called...
[98]
...the fourth industrial revolution
[101]
The semiconductor industry has had an eventful two years
[106]
When the pandemic began...
[107]
...many production lines were halted...
[109]
...causing a global chip shortage
[112]
Which in turn led to global supply issues...
[116]
...for all types of goods from toys to cars
[120]
But Marvel has been able to shine...
[122]
...where other semiconductor companies have not...
[126]
...navigating, supply chain bottlenecks and maintaing growth
[130]
It's CEO has been keen to emphasize the data centre...
[134]
...and cloud solutions side of the business
[137]
Over 40% of our revenues is in data centre
[140]
In 2021, its stock price increased by almost 100%...
[146]
...and the company's net revenue surged...
[149]
...year-on-year to $1.2 billion
[153]
It's gained an impressive market cap to boot
[157]
But there could be a potential fly in the ointment here
[161]
Taiwan
[166]
The island remains a major source of tension...
[170]
...between China and the US
[172]
Beijing regards Taiwan as its territory...
[175]
...not as a separate sovereign state
[179]
65% of the world's semiconductors are produced in Taiwan...
[184]
...whereas around 5% of the global total are made in China
[190]
Marvell outsources a substantial amount...
[193]
...of it's manufacturing operation...
[196]
...to factories on the island
[198]
So any move by China to invade Taiwan...
[201]
...could have serious consequences for the company
[204]
...and other US firms in the sector
[208]
China has ambitions...
[209]
...to beef up its own domestic semiconductor industry
[213]
One that doesn't just produce American designed chips...
[217]
...but rather is driven by original Chinese intellectual property
[222]
Despite the frosty geopolitics at play...
[225]
...we think Marvel's strong performance during the pandemic...
[228]
...and its application of data centric chips...
[231]
...in car manufacturing...
[233]
...make it potentially a strong stock for the year ahead
[237]
Let's see who is here
[238]
Hello
[239]
Oh hi
[242]
One tech stock who could face a volatile year is Zoom
[245]
It was the big surprise tech product of 2020...
[249]
...becoming the go to app for work meetings...
[252]
...in the early days of the pandemic
[255]
But as lockdowns eased...
[257]
...and more people return to work at offices at various stages...
[261]
...last year, its stock price dropped
[264]
As society settle into a more hybrid model of working...
[268]
...It will be interesting to see...
[270]
...how the so-called "stay at home" stocks like Zoom...
[273]
...perform in 2022
[279]
Health care is also being disrupted by another technology...
[283]
...wearables
[285]
Dexcom is one of the up and coming players...
[288]
...in the world of health tech wearables...
[291]
...specialising in monitoring systems for diabetics...
[295]
...the company has a market cap...
[297]
...in excess of $47 billion
[301]
It produces a small wearable sensor and watch...
[304]
...which transmits a users...
[305]
...glucose numbers to a smart device every five minutes...
[310]
...enabling them to monitor their blood sugar levels
[315]
One in five Americans now own...
[317]
...a smartwatch or fitness tracker
[319]
Users aren't just tracking their fitness goals...
[322]
...but vital signs such as...
[324]
...heart rate, sleeping patterns and blood pressure too
[328]
It's estimated that this market...
[330]
...will be worth more than $260 billion by 2026
[337]
Dexcom stock price underwent sizable growth in 2021...
[342]
...though since hitting highs in November...
[344]
...its price has decreased by more than 20%
[349]
Dexcom isn't the only company in this space...
[352]
...but its growth suggests it's one to watch out for in 2022...
[356]
...as wearables continue...
[358]
...to revolutionise the world of healthcare
[361]
Of course, not all health focused...
[364]
...tech stocks continue to shine
[366]
Peloton's stock price...
[368]
The company that produces home exercise equipment...
[371]
...soured during 2020...
[373]
...only for the company to rack up huge losses in 2021...
[379]
...seeing its stock price nosedive
[383]
As restrictions have eased across the world...
[385]
...exercising at home, may not be as popular...
[389]
...as it was back in 2020...
[391]
...when we had those strict earlier lockdowns
[400]
It's called Regeneron
[401]
I think this was the key
[403]
Regeneron became front page news...
[405]
...when President Trump...
[406]
...took his monoclonal covid antibody treatment...
[410]
...called REGEN-COV in 2020
[413]
Let's talk about monoclonal antibodies
[416]
This technology artificially creates...
[419]
...antibodies designed to mimic a person's...
[422]
...natural response to viral infections
[427]
Its stock price increased by more than a third...
[430]
...over the course of 2021
[433]
Regeneron's in-house technologies...
[435]
...known as the Velocisuite...
[437]
...develop antibody drugs from immunised mice
[441]
Mice make possible the study
[443]
Mice, just like humans...
[445]
...produce and select antibodies...
[447]
...to defend themselves against pathogens
[451]
Regeneron's series of technologies...
[453]
...manipulates mouse DNA...
[455]
...using bacterial artificial chromosomes...
[459]
...which replace mice antibody genes with human ones
[463]
This creates
[464]
This creates a faster approach to modifying the mouse...
[467]
...genome and speeds up the drug research process
[472]
CNN has cited a median estimate...
[475]
...from 26 investment analysts...
[478]
...who give the stock a "buy" rating for the year ahead
[482]
But what's the downside?
[484]
Well, Regeneron's stock price...
[486]
...dropped towards the end of 2021...
[488]
...and this volatility was being driven by...
[491]
...its COVID 19 antibody cocktail
[495]
This therapy may not be as effective...
[499]
...against the Omicron variant...
[501]
...and this is what's made investors cautious
[508]
Nvidia, is the world's largest maker of graphics cards
[511]
That's the essential technology needed for your computer...
[515]
...to generate high quality images at speed
[520]
Its tech is central to many people's lives today...
[524]
...from cloud computing and gaming...
[526]
...to the hardware that powers EV models
[529]
The California headquartered company...
[531]
...produces cars that are powerful enough for bitcoin mining...
[535]
...and big brand carmakers like BMW...
[538]
...are using Nvidia's cutting edge A.I product...
[541]
...Omniverse Avatar...
[543]
...to design and test how its factories of the future will operate
[548]
Can you tell how far I have to bend down there?
[551]
I'll get you a taller one
[552]
Yeah it's perfect
[554]
The company has big plans for growth too...
[556]
...for the past year, it's been trying to purchase...
[559]
...Chinese chip-maker Arm for $40 billion
[564]
In the past few years, Nvidia's stock price...
[566]
...remained mostly
[567]
...remained mostly around the $50 mark...
[569]
...but it has rocketed since the start of the pandemic
[573]
In the last year alone...
[574]
...company earnings are up more than 110%...
[578]
...exceeding median earnings in the industry
[582]
This remarkable performance, driven in part...
[585]
...by high prices for its in-demand chips...
[588]
...during a global shortage...
[590]
...has pushed its market capitalisation...
[593]
...up to almost $700 billion
[597]
So where's the catch?
[598]
Well, if there is one, it's the company's decision...
[601]
...to limit the hash rate...
[602]
...that's the mining speed used by cryptocurrency miners...
[607]
...in its newest laptop...
[608]
...It could make this product...
[610]
...less attractive to those customers
[613]
But overall, we see Nvidia as a stable tech stock...
[617]
...for the year ahead
[622]
Our number one stock to watch is Moderna...
[625]
...which has emerged during the pandemic...
[627]
...as a standout biotech company
[630]
Moderna鈥檚 use of pioneering mRNA technology...
[634]
...played a leading role...
[636]
...in developing the COVID 19 vaccine
[640]
The speed of the vaccine rollout has been unprecedented...
[643]
...in the history of global health initiatives...
[646]
...with countries around the world...
[649]
...embracing this new technology
[653]
Moderna鈥檚 stock price performed better...
[655]
...over the past twelve months...
[657]
...than that of the three other big Western companies...
[661]
...producing COVID 19 vaccines
[664]
Surging 140% over the course of 2021
[670]
However, past performance is no guarantee of future success
[675]
The broadcaster CNN has cited analysts...
[679]
...who are estimating a median 30%...
[683]
...increase for the stock price...
[684]
...over the next twelve months
[686]
On the downside, Moderna has forecast...
[688]
...that it will sell a reduced quantity of its vaccine this year...
[692]
...down from $20 billion in 2021...
[696]
...to somewhere between $15 to $18 billion in 2022
[702]
This reduction in sales may affect its stock price
[706]
The performance of these stocks reflects...
[708]
...how our use of technology has accelerated...
[712]
...during the pandemic
[713]
As we emerge from the health crisis...
[715]
...the stock market undoubtedly will continue to identify...
[719]
...innovative companies that provide products...
[722]
...for our changing global economy
