#1 TOP TECH STOCKS TO GET NOW: LASE
Laser Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ:LASE) is a leading global industrial development company that focuses on creating cleantech laser systems. The company has been making headlines since its IPO at the end of the last quarter. Just this morning, LASE increased 63% upon the news of a new order from the US Navy.
The stock first began trading on the 30th of September in the NASDAQ with a float of 3 million shares. Laser Photonics is planning on using the funding from the IPO to work on the first phases of its growth strategy. Which includes dominating the corrosion control market with LASE’s line of cleantech laser cleaning solutions.
The recent run up was caused by the company announcing a new order from the US Navy. The order is for LPC-1000CTH CleanTech Laser Blasting System with an integrated water chiller for submarine MRO (maintenance, repair and operations). It is also worth noting that the order is expected to be fulfilled this month. That could mean another major run up in the near future.
On that note, LASE’s CEO – Wayne Tupuola – said that they
We believe the U.S. Navy can benefit significantly from our CleanTech Laser Blasting systems in its $22 billion annual fight to control corrosion across the fleet. Over time, we hope to expand on this initial order as the U.S. Navy realizes our technology’s health, safety and efficiency benefits.
Following the news of the US Navy order, LASE witnessed a 63% run up and is currently trading at $3.09 with a newly formed resistance at 3.16. LASE has a primary support around 2.28 and a secondary stronger one near 1.91.

#2 TOP TECH STOCKS TO GET NOW: FORG
The second company to gain tremendous momentum today and be among the top tech stocks is ForgeRock (NYSE: FORG). As a global digital identity leader, FORG provides identity management products to serve numerous purposes including automating onboarding, progressive profiling, and relationship management.
Today, ForgeRock announced its entrance into a definitive agreement to be acquired by the software investment company – Thoma Bravo. Upon the news, the stock increased almost 50% in a couple of hours.
Thoma Bravo is a private equity investment firm with more than 40 years of expertise in providing capital and strategic support. As of Q2 2022, Thoma Bravo has over 70 companies in its portfolio and more than $122 billion of assets under its management. With that in mind, it’s easy to see why investors are bullish on the future of FORG.
Under the terms of the agreement, Thoma will acquire FORG for $23.25 per share in an all cash transaction. The whole transaction will amount to $2.3 billion. Bearing in mind that the stock was valued at $15 on October 10, meaning that the offer represents a 53% premium over the last closing price. Additionally, the transaction is planned to be finalized by Q2 2023 and upon the completion the stock will be delisted and FORG will become a privately held company.
With a 49% increase, FORG is currently being traded at $22.6 which now acts as its new resistance. The stock has a primary support around 16.46 and a secondary support near 14.33.
MACD is on a bullish crossover with no signs of another crossover anytime soon. Meanwhile accumulation has been fluctuating and RSI is at 86, indicating that FORG is extremely overbought at the moment.
This might not be a good entry point with the stock trading far from its resistance. However with more news on the acquisition, FORG might skyrocket to be traded at its 52-week high of $36. FORG will be delisted by the second half of 2023, so it’s definitely not a long term play but with the right timing, it could make you a lot of money in its last few months.
BOTTOM LINE
Tech stocks like many other stocks are extremely volatile but with good DD, you can take advantage of the sector’s recent surge and make millions! It’s always good to keep the top tech stocks in your watchlist and maybe add some of them to your portfolio.
As always, good luck to all (except the shorts)!
