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."
