  • Invest $1,000 in Top Growth Stocks Nvidia and Alphabet as Tech Sector Faces Rotation
    April 12, 2026, 12:01 AM EDT. The Nasdaq Composite dropped over 5% in 2026 as investors rotated out of technology despite solid earnings. This shift has created buying opportunities in undervalued tech stocks, noted Morningstar. Nvidia, down nearly 5% this year, shows impressive growth driven by artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, with strong revenue and profit forecasts. CFO Colette Kress highlighted rising agentic AI-AI systems acting autonomously-and physical AI use in robotics as key growth drivers. Analysts expect Nvidia to benefit as 60% of companies plan to adopt agentic AI in marketing by 2028, while failure to integrate AI risks 15% productivity losses. These factors support bullish views on Nvidia's long-term potential. Alphabet also remains attractive amid these sector dynamics. Investing $1,000 in these smart growth stocks could pay off as the tech downturn offers entry points.
