One of the FAANG stocks (large tech companies with big competitive advantages), Alphabet (GOOG -1.45%) (GOOGL -1.48%) has gone from high-flying internet search technologist to value-stock status. Alphabet's Google search business has emerged from pressures facing the overall digital advertising industry, and the company has returned to generating operating profit margins above 30%. It uses its profits to fund even higher-growth businesses, such as YouTube and Google Cloud, as well as emerging technologies, such as its self-driving car subsidiary Waymo.

Alphabet also had one of the largest cash and short-term investment (net of debt) balances of any public company at roughly $95 billion as of mid-2024. When paired with its strong product suite and long-term expansion potential, there's a lot to like about Alphabet -- especially with shares trading at 17 times one-year forward expected earnings.

Himax Technologies (HIMX -0.90%) is a designer of display-driver and image sensor chips. The company's technologies are used to regulate the colors displayed by pixels on screens, capture visual data for machine vision applications, and facilitate other display and sensing functions. Its designs are used in televisions, automotive displays, and a range of other hardware devices.

Himax is a cyclical stock and has tended to see its business performance fluctuate significantly in conjunction with the launch of new technologies and demand trends in its key end markets. On the other hand, increasing demand for automotive display and visual sensing technologies looks poised to power strong performance for the company. Himax stock looks attractively valued, trading at roughly 12.5 times next year's expected earnings, and the tech specialist also pays a dividend that varies depending on its level of profitability.

Almost every smartphone on the planet contains some sort of Qualcomm (QCOM +1.18%) chip. As mobility expands to encompass other devices (cars, smart-home devices, industrial equipment, etc.), Qualcomm is finding new avenues for growth. Yet largely due to a widespread belief that Apple (AAPL -0.82%) will eventually completely part ways with Qualcomm and use its own mobile chips for the iPhone and iPad, Qualcomm trades for less than many of its semiconductor industry peers.

In the spring of 2025, Qualcomm's stock was valued at just 13 times expected earnings for the year. But in the next few years, the company thinks it will experience a lot more growth from new mobility chip designs. Along the way, shareholders potentially will be treated to a modest dividend yield and share repurchases to sweeten the deal.

What to look for in tech stocks

Investors are generally well served by keeping an eye on tech companies' sales and earnings growth, as well as valuation metrics such as price-to-sales and price-to-earnings ratios.
It's helpful to keep an eye on each company's number of active users or its customer count, plus how much per-user or per-client sales and profit a business is generating.
There's no reliable one-size-fits-all approach for evaluating stocks in the space, but charting business momentum and keeping intrinsic value in mind can make it easier to identify winners.
