In the second half of 2025, the shares of the world’s largest tech companies remain at the forefront of investor attention. Despite political instability and elevated volatility, the HiTech sector continues to offer opportunities for active trading. According to analysts at brokerage firm XFINE, the current market environment calls for a calm and strategic approach, with an ability to capitalise on price fluctuations.
Apple is trading around $200 per share, showing moderate but steady growth. The company continues to rely on its loyal customer base and the expansion of its proprietary ecosystem. However, its dependency on iPhone sales persists, and the premium smartphone segment is approaching saturation. Investors are looking for new growth drivers — primarily in augmented reality and subscription-based services.
Microsoft has demonstrated a sharp rise over the past two months, with its stock up nearly 30%, from $354 to $479. Despite the company’s strong earnings reports, concerns about overheating in the tech sector are mounting. Nonetheless, XFINE analysts believe that even a potential correction does not negate Microsoft’s long-term prospects, especially given its dominance in cloud solutions and active integration of AI into products such as Azure and Microsoft 365.
NVIDIA remains one of the market’s top favourites. The company is at the centre of the AI boom, and its shares are among the most discussed. Recent earnings confirmed strong demand for GPUs and computing solutions tied to artificial intelligence. Despite some risks, including export restrictions to China, NVIDIA is actively expanding its presence in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
That said, high expectations are already partially priced in, so short-term trading strategies should be supported by hedging via index-based instruments.
Tesla’s stock performance has also drawn strong interest. The start of the year proved difficult: intensifying competition in the EV segment and declining quarterly sales pushed the stock down to a yearly low of $221. Additional pressure came from Elon Musk’s political involvement as part of the Trump administration, which triggered criticism, especially from ESG-focused investors in Europe.
However, May saw a turnaround. Musk announced his return to hands-on management of Tesla, distancing himself from political activity, which helped restore investor confidence. At the same time, the company announced plans to launch a robo-taxi service in Austin during the summer, and analysts at Wedbush raised their price target for TSLA to $500, calling this the beginning of a “golden era for autonomous technologies.” As a result, Tesla’s shares rose about 45% from their April lows.
TSLA remains one of the most popular CFD assets among XFINE clients thanks to its liquidity and sharp price movements. XFINE analysts stress that the tech sector continues to be one of the most promising in the global market. Even during short-term pullbacks driven by political or macroeconomic factors, high volatility remains a key element that opens up opportunities both for speculative trading and for building balanced portfolios.
Given that tech companies account for more than 27% of the NASDAQ index and over 20% of the S&P 500, any movement in this segment can significantly influence global market trends.
