Dan Ives reveals top tech stock picks for 2027! Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, and three other stocks make the list, Tesla selected as “disruptive tech top pick”
Former Wedbush tech analyst Dan Ives released his top picks for the technology sector in 2027 on Wednesday, listing Nvidia, Microsoft, Palantir, Apple, and CrowdStrike as his five top technology choices.
According to Jinzi Finance APP, former Wedbush technology analyst Dan Ives released his top picks for the technology sector in 2027 on Wednesday, listing Nvidia (NVDA.US), Microsoft (MSFT.US), Palantir (PLTR.US), Apple (AAPL.US), and CrowdStrike (CRWD.US) as his five preferred technology stocks. Ives stated on social media: "Tonight we officially launch coverage of the technology sector. In our view, investors are underestimating the magnitude and scope of this $4 trillion wave of spending over the next few years."
He also listed Tesla (TSLA.US) as his favorite disruptive technology company, initiating it with an "outperform" rating, calling it the market's most important AI and robotics platform. Ives gave all five top picks an initial "outperform" rating.
As for specific target prices: Nvidia at $300, calling it "the foundational compute platform for the AI economy"; Apple at $400, forecasting that AI will support both device upgrades and services growth; Microsoft at $650; Palantir at $250, due to enterprises increasingly deploying AI within business operations; and CrowdStrike at $335, as corporate deployment of AI agents drives increased cybersecurity demand.
Year-to-date stock performance: Nvidia up about 27%, Microsoft up about 12%, Apple up about 23%, Palantir up about 14%, CrowdStrike surged nearly 146%, and Tesla down about 14%.
Ives’ bullish rationale centers on the continued strong outlook for AI infrastructure spending. According to Goldman Sachs, AI-related capital investment could reach between $4 trillion and $8 trillion over the next five years. He added: "At this stage of the AI revolution cycle, supply—not demand—is the decisive factor. We believe this wave of AI development is still in its early stages, and we remain firmly optimistic about the prospects for technology winners in the years ahead."

Japan shares extend losses as rate uncertainty, geopolitical woes curb appetite
Updates with closing prices By Satoshi Sugiyama TOKYO, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Japanese shares fell more than 1% on Thursday, down for a second consecutive session, as investors paused after recent rallies, wary of the US rate outlook, higher yields and geopolitical tensions. The Nikkei 225 Index .N225 fell 1.42% to close at 69,042.11, while the broader Topix .TOPX slid 1.51% to 4,091.46. "Japanese shares had risen at a rapid pace through yesterday, and profit-taking has since picked up. That selling pressure appears to be continuing today," said Hiroki Takei, strategist at Resona Holdings. Japanese AI-related shares were subdued even after Samsung Electronics 005930.KS, the world's largest memory chipmaker, projected a nearly ninefold jump in third-quarter operating profit from the same period last year. Shares of chipmaker Rohm 6963.T lost 5.19%, the biggest percentage drag in nearly a month, while technology investor SoftBank Group 9984.T shed 4.28% and Tokyo Electron 8035.T dropped 2.48%. Concerns over US monetary policy remained in focus after Federal Reserve minutes released on Wednesday showed most participants signalling another rate hike by year-end. Market participants remained wary of French and Italian debt markets, with rising energy prices and fiscal concerns keeping sentiment fragile. Geopolitical tensions also dampened risk appetite, as increased attacks on shipping in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz fuelled concerns over Middle East oil supplies and pushed crude prices higher. Breadth was negative, with 165 decliners in the Nikkei 225 against 56 advancers and four unchanged. The largest percentage losers in the Nikkei were semiconductor silicon wafer supplier Sumco 3436.T, down 5.73%, followed by construction machinery maker Komatsu 6301.T, down 5.52%, and agricultural machinery and equipment maker Kubota Corporation 6326.T, down 5.42%. The largest percentage gainers were cybersecurity software company Trend Micro 4704.T, up 3.89%, followed by IT consulting firm Nomura Research Institute 4307.T, whic
