The <b>Nasdaq</b> is deep into bear territory, and the growth-oriented <b>ARK Innovation <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PSFF\">Pacer Swan SOS Fund of Funds ETF|ETF</a> </b>has lost about three-fourths of its value.</p><p>Nonetheless, other tech stocks have held up well, and technology investors seeking stability can still look to <b>Alphabet</b>, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IBM\">IBM</a></b>, and <b>Qualcomm</b> to drive long-term returns.</p><h2>1. Alphabet</h2><p>Alphabet has not escaped the effects of the slowdown. The Google parent encompasses dozens of tech-related businesses, and its cash cow remains advertising. Amid economic contraction and rising inflation, the company has seen a slowing in digital ad growth, the segment that still makes up an overwhelming majority of the company&#39;s revenue.</p><p>Despite this challenge, Alphabet continues to generate robust revenue growth. In the first quarter of 2022, the top line came in at $68 billion, 23% higher than the year-ago quarter. It also led to a net income decline of 8% during the period to $16.4 billion, due primarily to losses in equity securities. And revenue had grown by 41% in 2021, an indication of the aforementioned slowing.</p><p>Nonetheless, it seems to have found its next major revenue stream in Google Cloud. That cloud-computing services segment produced $5.8 billion in revenue, up 44% year over year. According to Synergy Research Group, it lags only Amazon and Microsoft in terms of cloud market share.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F684836%2Famzn-cloud-market-share-4.jpeg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"700\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Image source: Synergy Research Group.</p><p>Alphabet&#39;s stock has lost about 30% since achieving its 52-week high last fall, but its $140 billion in liquidity makes it <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the most stable companies in America. Also, for all of its profit growth, its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio has fallen to 20, a valuation low that&#39;s lower than it has seen in nearly 10 years. This earnings multiple makes Alphabet a value stock, and it could become an even better buy as its headwinds abate over time.</p><h2>2. IBM</h2><p>Legacy IT businesses have long bogged down IBM. Over the last 10 years, as Big Blue freed itself from the outdated and less-profitable business operations, its stock has fallen by more than 25%.</p><p>But a long-awaited turnaround has likely begun. Arvind Krishna, the former head of the cloud and cognitive software segment, became CEO in 2020. Krishna played a key role in the 2019 acquisition of Red Hat and followed that up with over 25 additional acquisitions since becoming CEO. He also spun off <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/KD\">Kyndryl</a></b>, its former managed infrastructure business, to focus more heavily on the cloud. These moves have helped IBM achieve the fifth-largest cloud market share.</p><p>That transformation has helped improve its financials as it generated $14.2 billion in revenue in the first quarter, an 8% year-over-year increase. This included a 14% surge in hybrid cloud revenue, an offering that helps private and public clouds interact seamlessly.</p><p>In April, it also increased its annual dividend to $6.60 per share, the 27th straight increase. At a cash yield of 4.9%, this could make IBM the dividend stock of choice for cloud investors.</p><p>Moreover, when including that payout, IBM logged a negative 1% total return over the last year compared with a negative 7% for the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>. Also, at a P/E of 22, it remains a relative bargain compared to Microsoft at 25 times earnings and Amazon at a 50 P/E. That lower valuation and its dividend could help IBM become a more prominent cloud stock.</p><h2>3. Qualcomm</h2><p>Qualcomm also prospers from a secular tech trend, 5G in this case. Data Bridge Market Research forecasts a 49% compound annual growth rate for the 5G chipset market through 2029. Since it leads the industry in developing 5G chips, this trend naturally benefits the company.</p><p>Qualcomm is not limiting its future to handsets. It also continues to innovate in the radio-frequency front end, automotive, and Internet of Things markets. Hence, if some functionality shifts away from smartphones, Qualcomm has prepared itself to evolve with the market.</p><p>In the first six months of fiscal 2022 (which ended March 27), it generated almost $21.9 billion in revenue, 35% more than in the same period of fiscal 2021. Since the company limited its expense growth, the net income of $6.3 billion during the first half of fiscal 2022 surged 50% higher compared with the same time frame in fiscal 2021.</p><p>Qualcomm has largely escaped the tech sell-off, gaining a 1% total return over the last 12 months. Still, the company&#39;s most significant danger could be geopolitical, as it derived around two-thirds of its revenue from China in fiscal 2021. That could help explain why its P/E ratio is 13, far below the valuations of communication-chip designers such as <b>NXP Semiconductors </b>or <b>Nvidia</b>.</p><p>Nonetheless, the 5G upgrade cycle will continue despite economic headwinds. Moreover, with its diversification into new areas, Qualcomm stock looks like a buy now.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Technology Stocks That Can Prosper During a Tech Downturn</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Technology Stocks That Can Prosper During a Tech Downturn\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-06-14 23:02 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/06/14/3-technology-stocks-that-can-prosper-during-a-tech/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The tech sector might look like a losing investment given the recent performance of many of its stocks.
