According to senior account manager at Equithy, Andrew Shelby, tech stocks are a great option for many investors’ portfolios. In the last few decades, tech companies have been quite successful at delivering impressive results to investors. It’s why they commonly use the shorthand, FAANG, when referring to the top players in the game.
But Facebook, Amazon, and Google aren’t the only high-performing tech companies out there. In fact, there are some impeccable tech stocks on the ASX that investors should consider adding to their portfolio. Here are some of them according to Equithy senior account manager Andrew Shelby.

It specializes in providing other companies with a solution to connect production and management operations with supplier and partner networks. Since they offer services worldwide, they connect client businesses with major cloud-based platforms.
Despite being a well-known company on the ASX, it’s currently among the top shorted stocks. This is due to the fact that it continues to report losses.

Investors expect the company to see impressive rates of growth in the future as more countries turn to nuclear power.
Since the start of the year, Silex has been successful as its shares have surged to reach the highest point in a decade. Recently, they released their latest financial report, which includes their half-year financials. According to the report, revenue has gone up by 77.9 percent, and the company is also set to announce a capital raise.
XRO (XERO Limited)
