For investors, one of the best things about technology companies is the rapid growth they often see. Tech stocks represent companies at the forefront of innovation, often working in fields such as cloud computing, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence (AI), e-commerce, and automation. Many tech companies are heavily involved in creating or using large language models (LLMs) as part of their generative AI platforms. Investing in these companies can be exciting because of not only the returns, but also the life-changing products that these companies are creating.
Hypergrowth tech stocks are those that represent companies that are seeing rapid expansion and revenue growth -- think at least 30% on a year-over-year basis. Those types of companies are rolling, although they may not have massive profits because they're also often trying to scale the business or pour profits back into development or capital expenditures.
There are quite a few companies that fit that description, but three of my favorite hypergrowth tech stocks are Palantir Technologies (PLTR -2.14%), Sea Limited (SE 1.86%), and Super Micro Computer (SMCI -0.26%). Let's take a look at each.

1. Palantir Technologies
The darling of the government contracting world is also becoming a go-to company for commercial enterprises. Palantir has long been used by the military to provide real-time analysis and insights in battlefield situations (and was credited for providing the intelligence that led to the capture of Osama bin Laden). But now its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) makes Palantir even better, allowing users to type in prompts and get detailed responses created by Palantir's insights and generative AI. Multiple government agencies, including the State Department, Homeland Security, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are now using Palantir's platform.
Commercial clients are also lining up to get Palantir's insights on how to manage their workflows, make manufacturing more efficient, and manage supply chains. In the second quarter, Palantir recorded $1 billion of quarterly revenue for the first time, and its revenue jumped a whopping 48% from a year ago.
It's no wonder that Palantir was the best-performing stock in the S&P 500 last year, and it's on its way to the same distinction in 2025.
2. Sea Limited
Sea Limited is essentially the Amazon of Southeast Asia. The company, which operates an e-commerce site (Shopee), a digital entertainment platform (Garena), and a financial services site (Monee), is the largest e-commerce platform in the region.
The company is at the forefront of pushing out AI tools, recently signing a memorandum of understanding with OpenAI to increase the use of AI throughout Southeast Asia and make tools more readily accessible for consumers and small businesses. For example, Shopee users who sign up for a VIP loyalty program will get three months of free access to ChatGPT Plus.
Revenue in the second quarter was $5.3 billion, up 38.2% from the previous year. More than half of that revenue is from e-commerce sales, but it should be noted that Sea Limited's financial services wing saw 70% growth in the quarter, with revenue of $882 million. "It is exciting that our credit business is still in the early stages in many of our markets, reinforcing our strong conviction in Monee's long-term growth and earnings potential," CEO Forrest Li said.
Sea Limited stock popped 20% on the heels of its Q2 earnings report. As digital tools and online financial tools continue to grow in Southeast Asia, the company is in an excellent position to continue its growth curve.
3. Super Micro Computer
Super Micro Computer, or Supermicro, makes servers, provides networking, and offers storage for cloud computing and AI. The company's "building block" approach allows customers to customize their server and storage systems to suit specific requirements.
It also feeds well into today's growing need for data centers that are powering the AI platforms that hundreds of companies are building and expanding. Supermicro created a portfolio of more than 30 server and storage solutions for new Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices chip architectures.
Revenue for the company's fiscal 2025 (ending June 30, 2025) was $22 billion, up 46% from a year ago. The company is projecting fiscal 2026 revenue to be $33 billion, which would be another 50% increase.
