No doubt you’ve heard: Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has become the world’s first $1 trillion company thanks to the success of the iPhone X and the growing importance of its services/subscriptions ecosystem.
The move is having a positive effect on the rest of the market, dragging shares up and out of negative territory at the open as investors forget about their China trade war worries and embrace the new technology bubble. Valuations are extended. Sentiment is red hot. And headwinds are coming in the guise of higher interest rates and a possible breakdown in trade relations between the United States and China.
Yet, for now, there is still upside to be found, especially in smaller, less-well-known names set to benefit as the herd piles into technology-focused ETFs and funds chasing AAPL’s rise. Here are seven non-Apple tech stocks to buy:
Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM) shares have burst up and over their 200-day moving average, returning to levels last seen in April and up nearly 20% from the lows set in late June. Investors have rallied into the stock on improving Chinese demand for Apple’s iPhones, which the company helps supply components for.
The company will next report results on Oct. 18 before the bell. Analysts are looking for earnings of 57 cents per share on revenues of $8.5 billion. When the company last reported on July 19, earnings of 47 cents met estimates.
