Major tech companies in the US are continuing to show remarkable strength in 2025 – despite a year of uncertainties.

Coutts¹ reports that tech “will be a sector for investors to watch closely” and “despite economic growth slowing, technology innovation is still advancing”. Powered in part by businesses adopting AI.

Tech stocks make up over a third of the S&P 500, which is a sign of long-term belief in the sector’s growth potential and staying power.

Why US tech keeps leading the way

According to the wealth manager Evelyn Partners,² the biggest names in US tech aren’t just riding trends — they’re driving them. 

‍

• AI and innovation at the core – Companies like Nvidia and Microsoft are setting the pace in AI, cloud, and advanced tech.
  
  
• Big earnings, bigger confidence – Tech giants are consistently beating expectations, keeping investor confidence high.
  
  
• Massive global scale – These firms operate worldwide, helping them stay strong even when regional economies wobble.

If you're looking for long-term growth potential, this is a sector that's hard to ignore. But always remember strong tech doesn’t mean excluding other sectors and a diversified, well‑balanced portfolio can smooth risk over time.

Why it matters to you

‍Tech isn’t just hype. It’s woven into everything we do, from how we work and shop, to how we communicate and get entertained.

That everyday relevance, combined with rapid innovation in areas like AI, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure, is what gives this sector such staying power.³ It’s also why tech-heavy indexes like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 continue to hit new highs.

When you invest in these markets, you’re not just betting on the next big thing — you’re backing companies that already play a huge role in your daily life, with room to keep growing.

That’s what makes US technology companies such a popular long-term choice for Chip investors and beyond.
