Investing.com -- Analysts at Rosenblatt have outlined their top stock picks in global technology for the second half of 2024:

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) - The tech giant's new AI-enhanced "Apple Intelligence" system will provide "unique" privacy features that many consumers are craving, the Rosenblatt analysts argued.

Applied Optoelectronics (NASDAQ:AAOI) - The fiber optic cable manufacturer is "extremely well positioned to benefit" from the surge in enthusiasm around AI.

Autodesk (NASDAQ:ADSK) - The American software group demonstrated "improving growth" in the quarter ended on April 30th, the analysts said, adding that its operating cash flow is expected to "trend upwards" in the coming quarters.

CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) - The cybersecurity group is "experiencing a signficant inflection in growth trends" thanks in part to its core Falcon platform, the analysts said.

Five9 (NASDAQ:FIVN) - Calling it a "compelling investment opportunity," the analysts argued that the provider of cloud contact center software has a "balanced outlook that acknowledges current economic challenges while positioning for a strong second-half recovery."

Micron (NASDAQ:MU) - The Idaho-based chipmaker is on the cusp of "one of the biggest cycles in history" for memory chips because of the AI craze, the analysts said.

Rambus (NASDAQ:RMBS) - The chip interface developer's DDR5 modules are used in many AI servers, the analysts said, noting that there is a "misunderstanding around this point which is creating an opportunity to own Rambus shares at a low valuation."
