Scoop Up These 3 Beaten Down Tech Stocks for a 2022 Rebound

The technology sector is expected to grow significantly in the coming months with consistent AI, IoT, and cloud computing innovations and rising demand from industries undergoing digital transformations. So, we think it could be wise to buy beaten-down tech stocks LiveRamp (RAMP), N-able (NABL), and Materialise (MTLS), which possess solid fundamentals and have the potential to rebound next year. So, let’s discuss these names in more detail.

Over the past few weeks, the stock market has been highly volatile, with the COVID-19 omicron variant making investors nervous. However, the situation has extended the work-from-home culture for several companies, boosting the technology industry’s growth prospects.

Investors’ interest in the technology sector is evidenced by the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLK) 10.4% returns over the past three months versus the SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF’s (SPY) 6.2% returns. And according to a CNBC Technology Executive Council survey report, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and machine learning technologies are expected to be crucial in 2022. Increasing demand for technology products and services with the continuing digitization of industries should drive the sector’s growth.

Tech stocks LiveRamp Holdings, Inc. (RAMP), N-able Inc. (NABL), and Materialise NV (MTLS) have plunged in price over the past few months but we think they possess solid rebound prospects. Also, they have a ‘Buy’ rating in our proprietary POWR Ratings system.
