Image: Bigstock

Tech stocks were taking off as the first quarter of 2023 came to a close. Impressively, the technology sector held up throughout the past month as other areas of the market declined amid financial concerns stemming from the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse (CS - Free Report).

With the Nasdaq up 16% this year, let’s take a look at some top-rated tech stocks that have an “A” Zacks Style Scores grade for Momentum at the moment.


Arista Networks (ANET - Free Report)

Sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), Arista Networks is a cloud networking solutions provider for data centers and cloud computing environments.  

Recently seen trading at $167 per share, Arista stock is up +37% year-to-date to easily top the Nasdaq’s +16% and the S&P 500’s +6. The earnings estimate revisions have been the key catalyst here, which attributes to Arista’s high Zacks Rank.

Fiscal 2023 EPS estimates are still up 11% during the quarter, with FY24 earnings estimates soaring 15%. Arista’s earnings are now projected to climb 26% this year and jump another 11% in FY24 at $6.44.

Infineon stock has recently been seen trading at $40 per share and has soared 36% year-to-date to outperform the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. With earnings estimates on the rise, Infineon’s P/E valuation also stands out and supports more upside.
