Pressure in Silicon Valley
In recent months, the news from the technology hub has been rather grim; reduced annual profits, increasing pressure from regulators and rising costs in value chains. Stock prices came under pressure, with the technology-heavy Nasdaq® (-33%) ending the last year 14% worse off than the broader S&P 500® (-19%). The big tech companies are reacting with cost-cutting measures, news of layoffs is doing the rounds.

Return Potential
Improving cost efficiency could boost their stocks again. Slowing inflation, normalization of supply chains, and the economic potential of various AI technologies also seem to have encouraged investors - since early 2023, the biggest tech stocks have been moving in an upward channel again.
