Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights: CyberArk, Lam Research and monday.com

For Immediate ReleaseChicago, IL – May 29, 2025 – Today, Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights CyberArk Software Ltd. CYBR, Lam Research Corp. LRCX and monday.com Ltd. MNDY.3 Nasdaq-Listed Tech Stocks Flying High in 2025 Signaling More UpsideU.S. stock markets have suffered a setback in 2025 after the artificial intelligence (AI)-driven astonishing bull run of 2023 and 2024. The highly overstretched valuation of U.S. stocks, sticky inflation, several weak economic data, geopolitical conflicts and severe concerns related to the Trump administration’s tariff and trade policies have significantly dented market participants confidence in risky assets like equities.The technology sector has suffered the most since these stocks, especially the AI-focused ones, have skyrocketed in the last two years. The Fed’s ambiguity over further rate cuts in 2025, concerns of a near-term recession and the availability of a low-cost Chinese AI platform have unnerved investors.Consequently, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite is down 0.4% year to date. Nevertheless, a handful of Nasdaq Composite-listed technology stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank has provided double-digit returns year to date.We have selected three such stocks that have the potential to provide double-digit returns from their current price level in the near future. These stocks are: CyberArk Software Ltd., Lam Research Corp. and monday.com Ltd.Each of our picks currently carries either a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy).

Growing etch and deposition intensity owing to increasing technology inflections in 3D architectures is a plus.
