Top-Performing and Underperforming Tech Stocks of 2024

The tech sector is closely watched by investors due to its history of high returns. While past performance doesn`t guarantee future success, tracking top performers like Nvidia, which soared 141% in 2024, can be insightful. It`s also worth observing underperformers, as this year`s laggard, such as Intel with a -56.1% return, could rebound. The article then lists the 2024 performance of the top and bottom tech stocks within the XLK ETF and the "Magnificent 7" tech giants.

Investing in individual tech stocks requires deep knowledge and research. However, investors can still participate in the sector`s growth through index funds, which offer a simplified way to track a basket of tech stocks without needing extensive expertise.
