Technology is the largest sector by market value and the least uniform. It contains mature cash-generative software, cyclical hardware and semiconductors, and services businesses that behave more like consultancies. This page ranks the large caps on one eight-factor scale.
Every score below is free. 20 technology stocks scored on the same eight factors, updated as the data changes.
Ranked highest to lowest by MELANY composite score, a 0 to 100 reading from eight factors. Each row links to the full breakdown and the live price. Ratings are a dated snapshot, most recently computed 2026-08-20.
These tiers are algorithmic research readings, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and not personalized investment advice. Ranking order is not a suggested purchase order.
The score and the eight factors behind it are open on every company page. The trade plan is the part that is not: one suggested entry price per company, the stop, the targets, and an alert when a name enters its entry zone. That unlocks free when you create an account.
13 of 20 companies in this group have a scoring history going back a month, and 13 of those changed. The 8 largest moves are below: 8 lower.
Measured against each company's rating about 30 days ago. A tier change is reported as a move between named tiers; the score is what carries the direction. Runner is a short-term momentum flag, not a rung above or below any other tier.
Long-duration cash flows make the sector unusually sensitive to interest rates, so the macro-fit factor carries real weight here. Within it, hardware and semiconductors follow an inventory cycle while established software follows enterprise budgets. Concentration is the sector-level risk: a handful of names now drive most of the index return.
Also searched as: tech stocks, technology sector shares, software and hardware companies.
Every company on this page is scored by MELANY, our own engine, which reads regulatory filings and market data and produces a composite score from 0 to 100 across eight factors: valuation, business quality, price momentum, earnings track record, analyst sentiment, catalyst setup, risk-adjusted profile and macro fit.
Each score maps to a conviction tier rather than a buy or sell call. Established companies with enough financial history are judged on fundamentals. Pre-profit or thin-data companies are judged on a separate speculative path that leans on momentum and theme strength, because there are not enough fundamentals to read. That is why two names with similar scores can carry very different risk.
Software, semiconductors, hardware, IT services and the platform companies. This list covers the large caps in each.
Because much of their value sits in cash flows years out, and higher discount rates reduce the present value of those cash flows.
A 0 to 100 reading across valuation, quality, momentum, earnings, sentiment, catalyst, risk-adjusted profile and macro fit.
