These Are the Hottest Stocks in the Nasdaq Today
Stocks continued to gain on Wednesday morning, with the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) joining in on the fun. The Nasdaq had climbed half a percent as of 11:15 a.m. EDT today, bringing it once again to within about 1% of its record closing high from last week.
The Nasdaq is full of technology stocks, and many of them have put in outstanding performance over the past year. In particular, many investors are looking at the semiconductor industry as a key driver of growth in tech, especially given the current supply-and-demand issues that are leaving buyers scurrying to find much-needed semiconductor chips. That's a big part of why semiconductor companies are the hottest stocks in the Nasdaq on Wednesday, and they could remain in favor for quite awhile.
