Page 1 of 5

It’s sometimes hard for an average investor to spot tech stocks that are trading at discounts, especially when it comes to under-the-radar stocks that are not fully understood by the market. It’s natural to pay attention to huge, iconic tech companies like Apple and Alphabet, which people are already emotionally invested in, and while those stocks have been tremendous performers in the past, there may not be huge growth in the near future.

However, the market is seething with less-known tech stocks which have explosive growth potential. In this article we have analyzed the latest 13F filings from a collection of only the best hedge funds in the world and come up with a list of five cheap stocks to buy now. Read on to find out which unheralded tech names are attracting the most smart money attention.
