Despite a brutal sell-off so far this year in the tech sector, Wall Street analysts remain cautiously optimistic about Big Tech stocks, with the majority of experts predicting that companies like Apple, Microsoft andAlphabet can continue to post strong profits in the long-term.
Despite tech stocks being hard-hit this year due to surging inflation, rising interest rates and ongoing recession fears, a majority of Wall Street analysts still maintain buy ratings on Apple, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon.

David Trainer is the CEO of New Constructs. Cash flows are strong and valuations underestimate the company's ability to generate cash flows in the future, which is the strongest type of stock. He likes the fact thatAlphabet is trading at a much cheaper valuation than its peers and should continue to perform well. As it struggles to retain users amid increased competition from the likes of TikTok, the trainer isn't as confident about the company'sability to sustain profits. He says that his firm is still a big fan of Apple.
