OTEX: 3 Mid-Cap Tech Stocks Wall Street Expects to Gear

In the world of mid-cap stocks, companies with a market cap between $2 billion and $10 billion are gaining attention on Wall Street as the next frontier for growth. These companies often have more flexibility and adaptability than large-cap stocks. However, in the tech sector, the mid-cap’s agility and robust products make it an appealing opportunity to investors.

Below I have highlighted three mid-cap tech stocks: Open Text Corporation (OTEX), Informatica Inc. (INFA), and UiPath Inc. (PATH), which have more than 10% upside potential.

With Trump’s victory and return to the White House for the second time, it is anticipated that the technology sector will benefit as it did in Trump’s first term, helped by the administration’s tax policies.

Trump’s campaign has already hinted at plans to review the AI Executive Order and suggested strengthening the nation’s AI infrastructure, fostering an innovation-friendly environment for national security and economic dominance.

Furthermore, tech companies have been benefitting from emerging trends, especially in fields such as cloud computing, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. Technology stocks have been outperforming the broader S&P 500, with Information technology stocks being the largest sector, comprising 32% of the S&P 500 Index.

Additionally, mid-cap tech companies generally exhibit higher volatility, which means they can deliver significant returns if timed well, albeit with some inherent risks. Its growth is also being spurred by increased investor interest as these stocks often trade at a more accessible price point than large-cap tech, making it more appealing.

With that in mind, let’s dig deeper into the fundamentals of the above-mentioned mid-cap stocks in detail:
