3 Cheap Tech Stocks to Buy Amid Market Highs

Warren Buffett's adage—"Whether we're talking about socks or stocks, I like buying quality merchandise when it is marked down"—rings hollow for tech investors as the S&P 500 flirts with record valuations. Yet beneath the surface, three overlooked tech stocks emerge as bargains: Verizon (VZ), Qualcomm (QCOM), and United Microelectronics (UMC).

Verizon, down 25% over five years, is pivoting to broadband via fixed wireless and fiber expansions, including a 2026 acquisition to add 2.2 million subscribers. Qualcomm battles short-term headwinds but retains foundational 5G IP. UMC's niche in mature-node semiconductors offers stability amid industry volatility.

While the Magnificent Seven dominate headlines, these contrarian picks highlight value in overlooked corners of tech—where yield, IP moats, and infrastructure demand converge.
