Many growth investors love tech stocks because they’re pinned to secular trends like cloud computing, quantum computing, AI, and semiconductors. These growth stories can last for decades, and the top stocks in those markets can generate massive gains.

But as the market hovers near its all-time highs, investors might be reluctant to add more tech stocks to their portfolios. However, I believe these three resilient tech stocks — Meta Platforms (META), AMD (AMD), and Strategy (MSTR) — still have plenty of room to run over the next decade.

1. Meta Platforms
Meta Platforms — the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp — hosted 3.48 billion daily active users across its entire family of apps in its latest quarter. That makes it the world’s largest social media company, and it shares a near-duopoly with Alphabet’s Google in the digital advertising market.

Meta continues to expand its advertising ecosystem with its new AI-driven ad targeting algorithms, and it’s keeping up with ByteDance’s TikTok with Reels. The robust growth of its high-margin advertising business gives it plenty of room to expand its unprofitable Reality Labs segment, which develops its augmented and virtual reality devices.

From 2024 to 2027, analysts expect Meta’s revenue and earnings per share (EPS) to grow at a CAGR of 16% and 13%, respectively. It still trades at a reasonable 25 times next year’s earnings, and it will continue to grow over the next 10 years as it gains even more new users, upgrades its ad targeting tools, and expands its AR and VR ecosystems.

2. AMD
AMD is the world’s second-largest producer of x86 CPUs and discrete GPUs. It trails behind Intel (INTC) in the CPU market and Nvidia (NVDA) in the GPU market, but it’s standing its ground against those market leaders.

In the CPU market, AMD outsources its production to TSMC’s foundries instead of manufacturing its own chips like Intel. That partnership enabled it to produce smaller, denser, and more power-efficient chips than Intel. In the GPU market, AMD generally sells cheaper chips than Nvidia. AMD also differentiates itself from both competitors by selling APUs (which combine a CPU and GPU on a single chip) for gaming consoles and PCs.

Two catalysts should drive AMD’s stock higher over the next decade. First, Intel’s ongoing production issues should drive more PC and data center customers to AMD. Second, AMD could gain ground against Nvidia in the booming AI market with its cheaper data center GPUs.

From 2024 to 2027, analysts expect AMD’s revenue and EPS to grow at a CAGR of 22% and 72%, respectively. It still looks reasonably valued at 40 times next year’s earnings, and it should have plenty of room to grow as the AI market expands.

3. Strategy
Strategy, formerly known as Microstrategy, was once a slow-growth provider of analytics software. But in 2020, it abruptly shifted gears and started to hoard Bitcoin (BTC 2.18%). Strategy now holds 636,505 Bitcoins, which are worth about $70.7 billion as of this writing, even though its core software business is barely growing. Last year, the company launched a bold new “21/21 plan” ($21 billion in equity offerings and $21 billion in fixed-income security offerings) to raise an additional $42 billion to fund its future Bitcoin purchases through 2027.

Strategy is now the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, and its Bitcoin holdings are equivalent to more than three-quarters of its market cap. Its co-founder, Michael Saylor, expects the top cryptocurrency’s price to surge from $110,000 today to $13 million by 2045. Assuming that happens, Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings could drive its market cap much higher and generate multibagger gains for its current investors.

The bears will note that its core business has stalled out and its stock looks absurdly valued at nearly 200 times next year’s sales, but the bulls will claim the growth of its Bitcoin hoard matters much more than its stagnant software revenues. I’m bullish on Bitcoin, so I think that wild strategy might pay off over the next decade.
