Pause on rate hikes: Will tech funds ride the wave to higher returns?
Hi, mooers!
As expected, the Federal Reserve kept the target range for the federal funds rate at 5.25%–5.5% for a second consecutive time in November. As a result, with reduced risk aversion and increased investment appetite, the technology sector is expected to receive higher attention and potentially enter a new round of growth in the short term.
According to Q3 earnings reports from tech giants, the technology industry is taking off again after grappling with a slowdown for close to two years. The net income and profit margins performance of tech giants has reached their highest level in at least 21 months.
In Q3 2023, 3 tech giants—$Microsoft(MSFT.US)$, $Meta Platforms(META.US)$, and $Alphabet-A(GOOGL.US)$—all saw substantial growth in net income, indicating their strong profitability. $Meta Platforms(META.US)$ led the way with a remarkable growth rate of 164%.
$Microsoft(MSFT.US)$ saw the greatest surge in market capitalization, with an increase of 61%, solidifying its position as the frontrunner with a total value of $2.74 trillion. $Microsoft(MSFT.US)$'s revenue from intelligent cloud services Azure and other cloud services demonstrated an unexpected acceleration, with a growth rate approaching 30% instead of the anticipated decline.
John Blackledge, an analyst at Cowen, commented that despite rising costs, all of these companies have seen an increase in margins compared to the previous year. Many investors are also bullish on the future development of tech giants. When it comes to AI, the tech giants are acting “faster and more decisive than I’ve seen incumbents react to a challenge,” said Rick Heitzmann, a partner at venture capital firm FirstMark Capital.
