KOPN: 3 “Strong Buy” Tech Stocks Under $10: Kopin, eMagin, and Innodata

While many expect a vaccine-driven economic recovery to shift investors’ focus away from the technology sector, the continued spread of the virus is still increasing widespread dependence on technology solutions. The global cloud-migration- services market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 22% by 2023, indicating the continuation of a fast-paced digital transformation. Technology companies have both high revenue growth and momentum on their side.

However, as most of the major technology companies are trading at extremely high current valuations, it could be wise to bet on relatively affordable stocks that have better potential for future growth.

Kopin Corporation, Inc. (KOPN), eMagin Corporation (EMAN), and Innodata, Inc. (INOD) have seen triple-digit gains in 2020, but are still trading at affordable prices. These companies are poised to repeat the performance in 2021.
