Maddy Johnson and Ryan McQueeney of the Zacks Friday Finish Line team are joined by Jeremie Capron, the director of research at Robo Global, for a special discussion about the tech sector’s recent volatility, whether investors should ditch FAANG stocks, and how smaller AI and robotics companies still present exciting growth opportunities.

ROBO Global is the creator of the ROBO Global® Robotics and Automation Index series, which provides comprehensive, transparent and diversified benchmarks representing the value chain of robotics, automation and artificial intelligence.

Jeremie was able to apply the beliefs of ROBO Global to demonstrate why the recent tech volatility—especially from the likes of Facebook FB, Amazon AMZN, Netflix NFLX, and Alphabet GOOGL—points to near-term concerns rather than doubts about the future of technology.

To Jeremie and the rest of the ROBO Global team, it is clear that we have just scratched the surface of what can be done with automation and robotics, and that means we should continue to see exponential growth in the tech sector for years to come.
