Here’s Why These Are Two of the Best Tech Stocks to Buy Now

Wireless technology

We all know that some of the best stocks to buy now if you want rapid growth are high-quality tech stocks.

Tech stocks offer the potential for rapid growth because their technology is usually highly scalable.

Rather than creating a product with high input costs, the marginal costs of adding customers when you have a tech business are usually very low. So these companies can not only grow their sales rapidly but their profit margins can be exceptional too, once they reach scale.

This is why it’s crucial to own tech stocks. They are consistently some of the best performers.

However, you can’t just buy any tech stock. While the best stocks are consistently some of the top performers, they are also usually some of the most expensive stocks to buy as they are priced for rapid growth.

So when investors pay a growth premium to buy a growth stock that doesn’t end up working out, you can stand to lose a large portion of your investment.

This makes it crucial to do a tonne of due diligence when buying tech stocks. They are crucial for your portfolio, but also highly risky. So they are some of the most important stocks to research and understand before deciding to invest.

With that in mind, here are two of the best tech stocks to buy now.

A high-potential AdTech stock trading extremely cheap

While most Canadian tech stocks have already rallied significantly, one stock that’s still worth well less than $1 billion, giving it massive growth potential is AcuityAds Holdings (TSX:AT)(NASDAQ:ATY).

One of the best Canadian tech stocks you can buy now

Another high-quality stock to consider is WELL Health Technologies (TSX:WELL). WELL is one of the best tech stocks to buy now because it’s addressing a tonne of much-needed improvements in the Canadian healthcare industry.
