Technology Sector Split: Hardware & Chips vs. Software – A Deep Dive with Stock Trends

The uncertain interest rate environment is evident in a number of sectors, and the stock market is always reflecting both the trend of the cost of capital and the anticipation of changes in it. The technology sector is especially sensitive to interest rates and generally feeds off the risk-on investor appetite supported by lower interest rates or expectations of relatively lower rates. But all technology stocks are not the same. The Stock Trends data shows how the hardware and software segments of the sector are showing distinct trend and momentum indicators, ST-IM forward return estimates, as well as relative valuation measures.

Energy Transition & Nuclear Revival

Clean energy is entering a structural super-cycle. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that global nuclear generating capacity will increase from about 417 GW in 2022 to roughly 620 GW by 2050, reflecting a steady commitment to low-carbon power in its Stated Policies Scenario. In addition, global nuclear power output is forecast to reach a new record high by 2025 as plants in France, Japan, China, India, South Korea and Europe restart or come online. More than 20 countries have signed a declaration to triple nuclear capacity by 2050, underscoring broad policy support for the technology. Demand for critical minerals such as uranium, lithium, and rare earths, and investments in grid resilience and electrification, are accelerating. Stock Trends Weekly Reporter (STWR) helps subscribers navigate this macro shift by filtering stocks through momentum-driven reports.

Subscriber Testimonials

  • I've followed a number of Stock Trends picks, and the methodology is solid.

    Doug B., Subscriber

  • Hence, anyone who had followed the "Stock Trends" line should have sold their Bre-X shares and, with the windfall, paid for a lifetime subscription to The Globe and Mail and more. Talk about return on investment!

    Muni P., Subscriber

  • I've followed your recommendations since reading your columns in the Globe & Mail, and finding they published Stock Trends arrows in their financial listings. I do find them a guide to the general market and what I should be avoiding for declining chart trends.
    Has probably saved me the subscription by not rushing into hot stocks!

    Anthony D., Subscriber
  • I have had the good fortune to be reasonably successful and enjoy the investment process. Your process would be recommended for both experts and those who are new to investing.

    Frank I., Subscriber
  • There is a lot to be gained from comparing trends of how individual stocks are doing within a sector, as well as how the sector is performing relative to the broad market.

    Dudley R., Subscriber

  • An admitted cynic, it's obviously very high praise when he says he likes StockTrends because of its "simplicity, utility, openness, [and] honesty," and in addition to having "no hidden agenda" is "understandably documented [and] historically verifiable." And, he adds, "It lets me see a lot of things without doing a lot of work." Globe and Mail

  • Just thought I'd call to thank you, Skot. Stock Trends Weekly Reporter helped pay for my daughter's education!

    Peter H., Subscriber

    Subscriber
  • I find your website and research very helpful in my stock trading. I have subscribed to several related services in the past and none present their work with “just the facts” as you. Please keep up the great work so that I can continue to learn! 

    Bryan E., Subscriber
  • I am just writing to tell you of my appreciation of your service! It makes so much sense to me. You seem to be an oasis of stability and sensibility in a stockmarket jungle.

    Adrian S., Subscriber

  • You have created and maintained an amazing, highly educational program and I am grateful for your part in getting our retirement funds to the good place they are.

    Karin M., Subscriber
  • Stock Trends analysis quantifies nicely the movement of individual stocks. I’ve found that if the technicals are out of synch with fundamental analysis, it is a wake-up call to make a decision. The Stock Trends Bull/Bear Ratio is useful in identifying major market bottoms and tops. It has always presented a good buying or selling opportunity.

    Charles G., Subscriber
  • I very much like the systematic approach to analyzing stock data, it fits my approach.

    Subscriber
  • Stock Trends information is part of the base information I review before making a trade.

    Subscriber
  • I am something of a momentum investor. I find Stock Trends useful as I can look at my portfolio as a “watch list” and quickly see where trends are declining in strength or reversing, so it is particularly useful as a tool in portfolio management regarding sales.

    William C., Subscriber
  • I am fascinated with your service and methodology - it is very impressive. [...] Over the years I have concluded that there are many ways to approach stock investing, but once one has chosen a path, one is better off sticking to it.

    Bob E., Subscriber

  • Long and strong - Bullish trends in specialized retailers
    Long and strong - Bullish trends in specialized retailers Amidst a market still digesting the Federal Reserve’s first rate cut in nine months, one theme stands out in the latest Stock Trends dataset: the remarkable resilience of retail leaders.

  • From Banks to Bytes to Uranium: Strong Bulls Align with ST-IM Signals
    From Banks to Bytes to Uranium: Strong Bulls Align with ST-IM Signals On September 17, 2025, the U.S. Federal Reserve delivered its first interest rate cut in nine months, lowering the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a new target range of 4.00%–4.25%. This was a response to clear signs of a cooling labor market—slower job growth, shorter workweeks, and rising unemployment in several cohorts. Although inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% target, policymakers signaled…

    Money management and trading psychology: building a resilient trading plan that integrates with the Stock Trends decision-tree framework Financial markets are unpredictable. Even when a trading strategy has a positive expectancy, a few bad trades can wipe out an account if position sizes are too large or emotions override discipline. Academic studies show that how much capital is allocated per trade is more influential on long‑term returns than the specific trading system used. For example, research cited by position‑sizing specialist Van Tharp found that…
