2 Big Data Stocks Wall Street Predicts Will Surge 70% or More

: ESTC | Elastic N.V. Ordinary Shares News, Ratings, and Charts

ESTC – The tech market has been recovering over the past five days following its correction last month. And despite macroeconomic headwinds, big data companies are poised to outperform the broader markets, owing to robust demand. In fact, Wall Street analysts expect quality big data stocks Elastic (ESTC) and Alteryx (AYX) to rally more than 70% in price. So, we think these stocks could be solid additions to one’s watchlist.

The technology sector has rebounded slightly over the past few days thanks to the positive fourth-quarter earnings of industry leaders. Despite the Fed’s new, hawkish tilt, strong demand for tech in the post-pandemic world should allow the global tech industry to grow at a stable rate in the coming years.

Big data is becoming a crucial and necessary tool for organizations to remain operational. Big data analytics ensures better business risk management, future data predictions, and many other applications. According to Reports and Data, the Global Big Data Market is expected to reach $261.92 billion by 2027.

Therefore, we think it could be wise to add fundamentally sound big data stocks Elastic N.V. (ESTC - Get Rating) and Alteryx, Inc. (AYX - Get Rating) to one’s watch list. Wall Street analysts expect them to rally by more than 70% in price.
