3 Strong Buy Stocks for the 2025 Santa Claus Rally

Computer hardware, given today’s trends, may have a strong place in just about any portfolio. All the AI apps need to run off of something, and even general consumer demand for computers isn’t going to go away anytime soon (and will most likely increase instead). And recently, some stocks have seen huge price surges or sentiment shifts, driven by these facts.

Not all will be great, but that’s what our Zen Ratings system is for: to separate the best from the rest. Here are three computer hardware stocks you might want to look into gifting your portfolio this December, all with a Zen Rating of A.

A note from our sponsors...

1. Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE: DELL)

DELL has been a mainstay in the computer hardware market, with both its ups and downs, but currently, DELL looks to be in a decent position. It recently reported better-than-expected EPS, is working on AI servers (with demand increasing), and has strong guidance for next quarter.

Our Zen Ratings system sees DELL as above average in the Component Grades of Value, Growth, and Financials, as well as our AI score. If you’re an investor looking for more steady growth, DELL might be more your speed than some other stocks in this market.

Interested investors will want to keep watch on whether DELL can keep up with demand, how it can handle the long-term ups and downs of the market, and how the company will position and market itself in the tech space over the next few years.

2. Sandisk Corp (NASDAQ: SNDK)

SNDK has had an absolutely stellar run over these last few months and beyond, with a 386.63% increase in share price over the last 6 months. And while it’s had a rough few days, this is likely industry-related and doesn’t have much to say about SNDK itself. It has seen strong demand for its products, has been innovating, and will be joining the S&P 500.

Yet, despite the recent gains, there may be more to gain from SNDK, given that it still has a Component Grade of A in Sentiment and Artificial Intelligence. This means that investors and analysts still think there’s more to be had from SNDK, and our AI algorithm is still picking up signs and patterns that indicate superior stock price results. Even if you think things are too turbulent for you right now, this is one stock to watch.

3. Transact Technologies Inc (NASDAQ: TACT)

TACT is a slightly different computer hardware company in that they specialize in printers and terminals rather than the computer power you might first think about, but that doesn’t change the fact that the world needs printers to generate the coupons you use. And while everyone is focused on the big ticket items, sometimes it pays off to keep your mind on the periphery.

Looking at its Zen Ratings, it’s currently seen favorably by investors and analysts and showcases strong growth potential. It also sees global demand for its products, minimizing some of the risk posed by geopolitical events.

Yet while the stocks above look interesting (as do many more), you will want more information before you make any decision (or you might just be curious). For the vigilant and the curious alike, we have WallStreetZen Premium. With it, you’ll get an unlimited watchlist, all the fundamental information you need, and the peace of mind you get from knowing you’re able to make better decisions for your portfolio.
