Investors’ preference for technology has reshaped the S&P 500 Index, with technology-oriented stocks now comprising nearly 50% of the index’s weighting. With artificial intelligence (AI) poised to be the next revolutionary innovation, this segment looks likely to remain a key driver of performance in 2024.
Technology-oriented stocks, or companies with a heavy reliance on technology to drive growth, represent a range of companies that span across multiple sectors within the stock market.

In a new episode of the Conversations with Commerce Trust podcast, Chief Investment Officer David Hagee discusses the significance of technology within equities with Don McArthur, Director of Equity Research at Commerce Trust.
