2 Best Tech Stocks to Buy in July
Nvidia's key role within the AI ecosystem makes it a stock worth considering right now.
Online gaming platform Roblox is growing rapidly, and the stock remains attractive.
10 stocks we like better than Nvidia ›
The stock market is once again red-hot. As of this writing, the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Jones Industrial Average are up 17%, 23%, and 10%, respectively, over the last three months.
With so much optimism surrounding the market, what stocks should investors target right now? Here are two that I think are excellent buys in the month of July.
First, there's Roblox (NYSE: RBLX). It operates a popular free-to-play online platform that brings developers and players together through tens of millions of games. Indeed, the company's rapidly growing user base is one of its strongest assets. Since 2022, Roblox's daily average users (DAUs) have increased from about 23 million in 2020 to nearly 98 million now.
Not only are Roblox's users growing in number, they're also changing in another crucial way: They are getting older. From its inception, Roblox has been extremely popular among children, with a large proportion of its DAUs being under the age of 13. However, as of its most recent quarter (the three months ended on March 31), 61 million of the company's 98 million DAUs were over the age of 13.
That's important for two reasons. First, it demonstrates that Roblox's fan base is staying loyal to the platform even as they grow older and may be tempted to switch to other gaming platforms or give up gaming altogether. Second, and just as importantly, DAUs over the age of 13 have more disposable income meaning they have more resources to spend on in-game purchases, which is how Roblox derives the majority of its revenue.
In addition to in-game purchasing, Roblox is also diversifying its sources of revenue. The company has embarked on several new monetization initiatives including selling merchandise, incorporating in-game advertising, and experimenting with paid access for certain games.
Despite all these positives, Roblox stock isn't for every investor or investment portfolio. Any setback or disappointment in user growth, revenue, or guidance could send shares tumbling. That said, growth investors with a long-term investment horizon would be smart to consider Roblox stock now.
Then, there's Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA). It should come as no surprise why Nvidia makes the cut as a stock worthy of buying this month. For starters, as of this writing, Nvidia is now the largest company in the world, with a market cap exceeding $4 trillion.
In short, the company has soared in value thanks to its key role within the artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem. Specifically, Nvidia remains the leader in graphics processing unit (GPU) design. In turn, fellow tech giants like Alphabet, Meta Platforms, and Tesla are all buying tremendous amounts of GPUs from Nvidia as they race to develop their AI infrastructure.
Nvidia's financials paint a stunning picture. The company's trailing-12-month revenue now stands at $149 billion, up from around $26 billion less than three years ago. Similarly, the company's net income has soared. It now stands at $77 billion, up from $4 billion in 2023.
What's more, sell-side analysts agree Nvidia is far from done growing. According to estimates compiled by Yahoo! Finance, Nvidia's annual revenue should increase to nearly $200 billion for fiscal 2026 (the 12 months ending on Jan. 25, 2026), while the company's fiscal 2027 revenue should rise to more than $250 billion.
Granted, projections are not reality, and Nvidia could fall short of these lofty expectations. In addition, larger economic concerns or some unforeseen development could lead to a downturn in Nvidia's fortunes.
However, over the long term, I'm convinced that Nvidia and its prime position within the AI ecosystem will deliver value for shareholders. It remains a stock worth considering right now.

OPEC+ Just Flooded the Market--Now It Might Pull the Plug
OPEC+'s oil strategy just took a sharp turn and it might not be the last. Over the weekend, the group finalized the return of 2.2 million barrels per day to the global market, wrapping up its post-2023 unwind. But insiders say this might just be the setup for the next move. Delegates emphasized that everything is still on the table: more increases, a pause, or even a full reversal. The group's next meeting is scheduled for September 7 and it could mark the start of another major pivot. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 9 Warning Signs with GS. On paper, demand has held up. But beneath the surface, cracks are forming. The International Energy Agency projects a 2 million barrel-per-day surplus by Q4, driven by slowing Chinese growth and swelling supply from the Americas. Crude futures are already down 6.6% this year to under $70 per barrel, and Wall Street doesn't look optimistic with Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) and JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) warning prices could drift toward $60. That's well below what many OPEC+ members need to balance their budgets. Most traders Bloomberg surveyed expect the group to hold steady for now. But if U.S. supply slips or macro conditions turn, analysts like Eurasia Group's Greg Brew say more barrels could still come back online. Overlay that with rising geopolitical heat, and the picture gets even murkier. President Donald Trump is ramping up pressure on Russia over Ukraine, threatening secondary sanctions on buyers of Russian oil. Last week, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak made a high-profile visit to Riyadh, underscoring Moscow's ties with Saudi Arabia. But the tension is real and growing. Analysts say the alliance could face its toughest test yet: defend market share by bringing back the final 1.66 million barrels per day still offline, or maintain unity under increasing global pressure. Either way, September's meeting could be a turning point for global oil markets. This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Sign in to access your portfolio

Analyst downgrades top S&P 500 stock after disappointing earnings
Analyst downgrades top S&P 500 stock after disappointing earnings originally appeared on TheStreet. Compass Point has lowered Coinbase's (Nasdaq: COIN) price target from $330 to $248 and downgraded the rating from "Neutral" to "Sell" after the crypto exchange reported disappointing financial results for the second quarter of 2025. The investment firm indicated receding retail interest, poor Q2 records, weak prospects for recurring revenue lines like subscriptions and custody services the next quarter, and more competition from stablecoin and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms as the reasons it downgraded the COIN stock's rating. Compass Point also warned of Coinbase's retail trading under pressure despite a bullish crypto market. Notably, retail trading is Coinbase's main profit are two other factors that the firm highlighted as possible risks for Coinbase. One is a potential delay in the CLARITY Act, which deals with classifying the financial status of crypto assets. Another is Coinbase trailing Robinhood (Nasdaq: HOOD) and Kraken in launching stock trading. 'We see limited support for COIN's valuation if crypto markets sell off further,' said Compass Point. Founded in 2012, Coinbase is the largest crypto exchange in the U.S. The company, which went public in April 2021, joined the S&P 500 list in May 2025 — the only crypto stock to be included in the hotly contested list so far. During Q2 2025, the exchange generated $1.5 billion in total revenue, $1.4 billion in net income, and earnings per share (EPS) of $5.14 in Q2. The exchange held 11,776 Bitcoin worth $1.3 billion by the end of the quarter. The COIN stock is trading at $319.55 at the time of writing, up 1.54% a day.
