In this article, we will talk about the 12 Cheap Technology Stocks to Invest In According to Hedge Funds.
In December 2025, UBS was positive on the U.S. tech sector and expected it to remain strong, driven by AI-led growth, citing it as a major driver of the market’s next leg up. However, in a recent update on February 10, UBS downgraded the U.S. IT sector to Neutral, signaling that the recent strength in tech stocks veils increasing risks linked to hyperscaler spending and uncertainty in the software industry.
In a note, UBS Chief Investment Officer Mark Haefele said they expect a deceleration in hyperscaler Capex growth, while stretched hardware valuations suggest a more cautious stance. The bank expects hyperscaler Capex could reach around $700 billion in 2026, indicating ‘a more than fourfold increase over three years.’ Haefele pointed out that this level of investment now ‘consumes almost 100% of hyperscalers’ cash flow from operations.’
Following a tech sell-off earlier in February, the tech-savvy Nasdaq Composite has dropped by almost 4% over the last month, as of February 20. Year-to-date, the index is down by 2.94%. Piper Sandler analysts attribute the recent tech sell-off to a shift to the ‘old economy’ amid the AI shift. Goldman Sachs also shared similar thoughts and stated:
”After years of focus on identifying stocks with the greatest potential AI exposure, concerns about disruption have pushed investors back toward ‘real economy’ industries, including those leveraged to recent signs of accelerating economic growth.”
On the other side, the market remains under the shadow of potential new tariffs from the U.S. administration following President Trump’s condemnation of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on February 23. The court, in a 6-to-3 decision, ruled against the latest 10% increase in global tariffs. According to Reuters, the President has vowed to other tariff powers and licenses without sharing any details. In a social media post, Trump said:
”The court has also approved all other Tariffs, of which there are many, and they can all be used in a much more powerful and obnoxious way, with legal certainty, than the Tariffs as initially used.”
The European Commission has also demanded that the terms of an EU-US trade deal signed last year be adhered to.
With that, let’s take a look at the 12 Cheap Technology Stocks to Invest In According to Hedge Funds.
