To handle the challenges of managing, storing, and securing data amid this explosive traffic growth, data centers will need to harness the power of artificial intelligence. Security is a top need, as "denial of service" attacks are set to double by 2023. IoT (machine to machine or M2M) connections are expected to grow at a 30% CAGR. Two-thirds of the world will have internet access by 2023, while the number of connected devices is expected to grow to three-times the global population.

Here are the top 10 results, suggesting attractive valuations. We used the Argus Research Screening Tool and applied the following criteria: the stocks must be in the Technology sector must be rated BUY at Argus must carry an Argus Financial Strength rating of Medium-High or High and must trade at least 30% below their 52-week high. For this week's list, we did exactly that in beaten-down Technology.

Activists have made progress in the past year with high-profile investments into blue-chip companies such as FedEx Inc. Activist investing has evolved in recent years and is now less about generating a short-term return on an underpriced stock and more about achieving long-term returns through an active management/investor partnership. We review the 13Fs of the major activist investors, including Carl Icahn, Trian Fund Management, Jana Partners and ValueAct Holdings, among others, in order to determine their core holdings and new purchases.

Form 13-Fs, which institutions must file to report their holdings, are due 45 days after the end of calendar quarters, and have now come in from 1Q23. Vickers Stock Research, a subsidiary of Argus Research Group, tracks and analyzes insider trading and institutional stock ownership trends.
