15 Most Undervalued Tech Stocks To Buy According To Hedge Funds

In this piece, we will take a look at the 15 most undervalued technology stocks to buy according to hedge funds. If you want to skip our introduction to the technology industry, then check out 5 Most Undervalued Tech Stocks To Buy According To Hedge Funds.

Technology is one of the most glamorous and lucrative industries these days. The soaring popularity of technology firms and stocks follows the massive impact that personal computing, connectivity, and the Internet have made on our lives. In fact, nearly every aspect of modern day living, whether it’s work, transportation, entertainment, shopping, or business, has been revolutionized by technology and the firms that play a role in this have seen their shares rewarded heftily on the stock market.

When we look at mega cap stocks, out of the ten largest companies traded on U.S. exchanges in terms of market capitalization, eight are technology stocks. This makes the segment one of the most lucrative in the world, and it is also a segment that has defied investor expectations and soared to new highs in 2023. The broader economic environment this year has been worrying, to say the least, with the Federal Reserve’s rapid interest rate hikes jolting the stock market last year. These hikes were expected to continue this year, but very few investors could have predicted in 2022 that the first half of 2023 would see big tech retake most of 2022’s losses with the tech heavy NASDAQ 100 index gaining 45% between January to June.

Leading the charge in the mega cap arena is the graphics processing unit (GPU) designer NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA). NVIDIA’s shares have gained more than 300% on the stock market this year, fueled by the firm’s stunning guidance for its second quarter of the fiscal year 2023. While Wall Street analysts were expecting the firm to guide the Q2 revenue at $7.2 billion, NVIDIA blew past these estimates as it projected its first annual revenue growth in the last couple of quarters by expecting the net sales figure to sit at $11 billion. Analysts were delighted, to say the least, and they have rated NVIDIA’s shares as Strong Buy on average. As if this weren’t enough, the firm’s average share price target is $524.19, and based on the closing share price at the time of writing, this pens in an upside of 14.8%. Briefly looking at recent analyst coverage, out of the ten analyst notes that have covered the shares, eight have rated them as either Strong Buy, Overweight, or Outperform.

The surge in NVIDIA’s shares is part of the broader hype in the industry surrounding artificial intelligence. AI is a set of technologies that leverage high powered computing systems to use pre determined relationships to generate insights into new data. The uptick of AI by firms has been equally explosive, with data from McKinsey showing that in less than a year after the debut of the latest technologies, nearly 25% of top level executives said that they are using AI technologies while 40% have already set AI as an agenda on their board. Bifurcating the responses according to industries, the top two industrial users of AI are the technology & telecommunications and financial services industries. In terms of business roles, marketing and product development professionals are the highest users of AI while manufacturing and supply chain people rely the least on the latest technology. One additional industry that heavily benefits from AI and has been using it even before the recent mania is the biotechnology sector, and for more details on this particular front, be sure to check out 11 Most Profitable Biotech Stocks Today.

Shifting gears from technology to financial evaluation, one way in which stocks are valued is the price to earnings ratio. This ratio comes in several flavors, out of which the most popular is the price to trailing earnings ratio. If you want to find out what this ratio is all about, we’ve covered it in detail in 10 Best Inexpensive Stocks To Buy Right Now. As a short primer for the sake of this piece, this ratio divides a firm’s current share price with its earnings per share in its four latest quarters, providing a moving valuation that incorporates the latest financial results to gauge market sentiment about a stock. A P/E ratio below an industry average implies that a stock is undervalued and its share price can potentially appreciate in the future. A ratio that is higher than the average can indicate, purely from a P/E ratio perspective, that the price might come down in the future. We’ve sifted dozens of stocks through their P/E ratios, in pieces such as 10 Undervalued Canadian Stocks To Invest In and 12 Undervalued European Stocks to Buy.

Today, we’ll take a look at undervalued technology stocks being bought by hedge funds, out of which the top picks are Avnet, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVT), Gen Digital Inc. (NASDAQ:GEN), and Concentrix Corporation (NASDAQ:CNXC).

AI, Tariffs, Nuclear Power: One Undervalued Stock Connects ALL the Dots (Before It Explodes!)

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

  • It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
  • It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
  • It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

  • The AI infrastructure supercycle
  • The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
  • A surge in U.S. LNG exports
  • And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.

As an investor, you want to be on the side of the winners, and AI is the winning ticket.

The Talent Pool is Overflowing: The world’s brightest minds are flocking to AI.

From computer scientists to mathematicians, the next generation of innovators is pouring its energy into this field.

This influx of talent guarantees a constant stream of groundbreaking ideas and rapid advancements.

By investing in AI, you’re essentially backing the future.

The future is powered by artificial intelligence, and the time to invest is NOW.

Don’t be a spectator in this technological revolution.

Dive into the AI gold rush and watch your portfolio soar alongside the brightest minds of our generation.

This isn’t just about making money – it’s about being part of the future.
