Factors including high inflation, weak job growth, and the resurgence of COVID-19 cases caused the equity markets to sell-off last Friday. However, given the tech industry’s favorable long-term growth prospects, we think fundamentally sound tech stocks Amkor (NASDAQ:AMKR), Teradata (TDC), NetScout (NTCT), and Himax (HIMX) are well-positioned to deliver solid returns in the coming months.

Markets sold off last Friday, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite losing 1.9%.

But because these factors are not likely to dissipate soon, analysts anticipate a significant market correction sometime soon.

Thus, betting on fundamentally sound, undervalued tech stocks could hedge one’s investment portfolio against market fluctuations.
