Tightening Belts Among Big Tech, But Investor Interest Remains
With the recent lean years in the stock market, even titans like Big Tech are feeling the pinch. Microsoft, Google's parent company Alphabet, Meta Platforms, and Amazon are all trimming their workforces. Microsoft has announced cutting 10,000 positions, while Alphabet and Meta Platforms are axing over 26,000 jobs combined. CEOs like Satya Nadella and Sundar Pichai have acknowledged the economic reality and the consequences of aggressive hiring in years past.
While these layoffs are grim, they seem to be a breath of fresh air for the stock market. In fact, stock prices are on the rise, boosted by investor expectations of smaller interest rate steps from the US Federal Reserve. Although the Fed will continue efforts to curb inflation, a smaller hike in interest rates will enhance corporate profits, making the battered tech sector alluring again.
If you're a value-seeking investor, the current market turmoil has created opportunity. Many growth stocks are now significantly cheaper – a great time to spot bargains. Look for companies with high cash inflows, solid reserves, and a currently underestimated potential.
