The S&P 500 index and tech-heavy NASDAQ index have managed to fare particularly well even during the challenging period of the coronavirus pandemic. However, many analysts believe that the high-performing tech stocks are vulnerable to a correction. The stocks saw a powerful rally in 2020 amid extreme valuations. Even though, the tech sector is likely to offer one of the best returns to the investors this year, the tech companies have highly scalable business models, which makes them adaptive to change.
Let us take a look at three technology stocks that have the potential to grow in 2021.
