Technology helps to drive the world forward and makes people's lives more efficient and convenient. Therefore, investing your money in solid technology growth stocks is a surefire way to build long-term wealth.
Selecting the right companies to own is just the first step. You'll need patience to hold these stocks over the long run to enjoy steady capital appreciation.
Below, I'll discuss three attractive stocks that are relying on sustainable growth trends to propel their revenue and profits forward in the years ahead.
Asana
Asana (NYSE: ASAN) helps to improve organizational efficiency by operating a cloud platform that helps work teams organize, track, and manage their workflow, projects, tasks, and deadlines. Demand for Asana's services is booming, judging from the steady increase in the company's revenue over the past three years, as shown below.
Metric 2023 2024 2025
Revenue (in millions) $547.2 $652.5 $723.9
Gross profit (in millions) $490.7 $588.9 $646.7
Gross profit margin 89.7% 90.1% 89.3%
Free cash flow (in millions) ($167.2) ($31.1) $2,643
Data source: Asana. Fiscal years end Jan. 31.
The business also boasts a very high gross margin of close to 90%, on average, and also turned free-cash-flow positive in its latest fiscal year.
The company recorded encouraging growth momentum for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Revenue rose 8.6% year over year to $187.3 million, with gross margin staying constant at 89.7%. Asana continued its streak of free-cash-flow generation by churning out $4 million of free cash flow for the quarter.
The number of core customers grew 10% year over year to 24,297, while those spending $100,000 or more climbed 20% to 728. This is a sign that Asana's customers are spending more for its services.
The company will focus on three strategic growth priorities to take its business to the next level. These include increasing customer acquisition, improving customer health by reducing churn, and delivering superior customer value.
The company's artificial intelligence (AI) studio helps to solve customer pain points across the entire workflow process. At the same time, the AI studio is also handling new use cases, which help to expand Asana's overall total addressable market.
Recently, Asana launched its Smart Workflow Gallery, which includes AI-powered workflows to help organizations scale up their use of AI to improve employee productivity. This new launch will work in tandem with the company's AI Studio to improve team coordination and achieve better outcomes.
With these initiatives in place, Asana looks well-positioned to ride the AI wave to bring its business to greater heights.
Roku
Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) produces digital media players and helps to distribute streaming services, while running advertisements on its platform. The business has seen increasing demand for its services and has grown revenue steadily over the past three years. Gross profit margin has hovered around 44.6%, on average. Roku turned free-cash-flow positive in 2023, as shown below.
Metric 2022 2023 2024
Revenue (in billions) $3.126 $3.485 $4.113
Gross margin (in billions) $1.441 $1.523 $1.806
Gross profit margin 46.1% 43.7% 43.9%
Free cash flow (in millions) ($149.9) $173.2 $213.0
Data source: Roku. Fiscal years end Dec. 31.
The company delivered a commendable financial performance for the first quarter of 2025 as revenue from its platform and devices grew 15.8% year over year to $1.02 billion. Gross profit improved by 14.6%, with gross profit margin coming in at 43.6%, just a marginal dip from 44.1% in the prior year.
The good news is that Roku's free-cash-flow generation has nearly tripled year over year from $46 million to $136.8 million. Streaming hours continued to climb, up 16.6% year over year to 35.8 billion, showcasing the increasing demand for streaming television, which will drive Roku's top line.
Management is focusing on improving and expanding the Roku experience to drive more premium sign-ups. To achieve this, the company acquired Frndly TV, a subscription streaming service offering more than 50 live TV channels and on-demand video, for an undisclosed sum. This addition will help to grow Roku's platform revenue and billed subscriptions further.
Partnerships are another important source of growth for the business. Back in June, Roku partnered with Amazon ads to give advertisers access to an estimated 80 million U.S. connected-TV households. By introducing this large audience, advertisers can improve their performance and planning while optimizing their ads. These initiatives should help Roku continue its steady top-line growth and generate higher levels of free cash flow.
Alphabet
Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL)(NASDAQ: GOOG) is one of the technology titans that make up the " Magnificent Seven" stocks and earns money from advertisements linked to its Google search engine, as well as its cloud computing services. Although Alphabet is already a $2 trillion company, nothing is stopping it from doubling its market capitalization if it can continue to grow its earnings.
The table below displays Alphabet's revenue, net income, and free cash flow, which have all risen in tandem as the company garners more business.
Metric 2022 2023 2024
Revenue (in billions) $282.8 $307.4 $350.0
Operating income (in billions) $74.8 $84.3 $112.4
Net income (in billions) $59.9 $73.8 $100.1
Free cash flow (in billions) $60.0 $69.6 $72.8
Data source: Alphabet. Fiscal years end Dec. 31.
The first quarter of 2025 saw a continuation of this momentum. Revenue rose 12% year over year to $90.2 billion, while net income surged 46% to $34.5 billion. Google Cloud led the way with its operating income more than doubling for the quarter. Free cash flow also climbed 12.6% to $18.9 billion.
Alphabet is trading at a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 20.2. This is an undemanding valuation, considering the technology giant is a direct play on the growth of AI.
Alphabet recently sealed a deal to bring in Varun Mohan, the co-founder and CEO of AI coding start-up Windsurf. Google is also paying $2.4 billion for a non-exclusive license to certain Windsurf technology, underscoring Alphabet's commitment to increasing its talent pool and capabilities in this space.
The company has reaffirmed its plan to spend $75 billion this year to boost its AI and data center capacity, with several of Alphabet's clients praising AI for the benefits it brings. Google's AI assistant is also being incorporated in various brands of smart watches, helping users to go about their daily tasks with ease and convenience.
Investors who want to own a slice of the AI pie should consider Alphabet, as it seeks to tap into the AI trend to grow its top and bottom lines.

Big Alcohol prepares to fight back as buzzy cannabis drinks steal sales
A marijuana plant awaits judging in the Oregon Cannabis Growers' Fair marijuana plant competition in Salem, Ore. on Saturday, Aug. 13, 2016. (AP / Gillian Flaccus) NEW YORK — Top alcohol makers have been sitting on the sidelines of a cannabis beverage boom, watching brands in the fast-growing category like Cann and Wynk make deals with beer and booze distributors, and gain valuable space on liquor store shelves. Now some alcohol companies, seeing their sales falter, are laying the groundwork to potentially enter the lucrative but risky market, a dozen founders of cannabis brands, ingredients suppliers and drinks manufacturers told Reuters. Drinks containing THC, the mood-altering ingredient in marijuana, are restricted to licensed dispensaries in 24 U.S. states where recreational use of pot is legal. But small amounts of THC can also be extracted from hemp, a crop that's related to marijuana but is legal federally. Beverages containing THC derived from hemp can be sold in many liquor shops, convenience stores and supermarkets. That's where Big Alcohol sees opportunity, despite some companies having been burned by past cannabis investments. Corona brewer Constellation Brands has been internally researching hemp-based cannabis drinks to weigh its next steps, a source familiar with the company's thinking said. Absolut vodka distiller Pernod Ricard has met with Brez, maker of drinks with THC derived from hemp, as recently as last month to discuss a possible investment, Brez's founder Aaron Nosbisch said. 'They did not invest now but are circling,' Nosbisch said. Pernod declined to comment on the meeting. Constellation Brands said it does not comment on rumors and speculation. Alcohol makers are still suffering a hangover following America's pandemic drinking binge, when sales spiked as cash-flush consumers splurged on pricey bottles of liquor for their homes, and then rushed back to bars when lockdown restrictions lifted. Alcohol sales have been falling ever since as inflation and interest rates rose and wallets became stretched. The companies also now face growing warnings from public health authorities who say drinking even small amounts of alcohol is associated with at least seven types of cancer. Overall U.S. beer volumes fell nearly six per cent through May of this year, according to the Beer Institute. Volumes of spirits and wine sold in the same time period have declined by 5.6 and 9 per cent, respectively, according to the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America. In a sign of tumult in the industry, the CEO of the world's biggest alcohol maker, Diageo, stepped down last week as the company struggles to revive growth. But hemp-based drinks are expanding fast. The market for drinks infused with THC from hemp is projected to top US$1 billion in sales this year, according to market research firm Euromonitor, and climb past US$4 billion in 2028. Molson Coors CEO Gavin Hattersley told Reuters in January he'd be naive to say THC beverages aren't having an effect 'at least in a small way.' Tilray Brands, the fourth-largest U.S. craft brewer with brands including Montauk and Shock Top, is selling its new hemp-derived THC seltzers through its beer distributors such as United Distributors in Georgia, executives told Reuters in an interview. The company's THC drinks are for sale in 13 states. 'There's not a real leader that's taken ahold of the (market) so far, and that's what we look to do,' Tilray's CEO Irwin Simon told Reuters earlier this year. Others, including Heineken's Lagunitas brand and Pabst Blue Ribbon, the fifth-largest U.S. brewer, have lent their names to THC seltzers for sale in dispensaries in California. Lagunitas is looking to grow distribution of its THC seltzer, potentially using hemp, to other states, a representative from Cannacraft, its ingredient supplier, said. A spokesperson for Lagunitas said it has no immediate plans to expand, but monitors market development and looks for opportunities as consumer tastes and regulations change. Boston Beer, the maker of Sam Adams, is one of the brewers with the clearest path to eventually enter the U.S. cannabis drinks market although it has not provided a time frame for doing so. The company is already selling its Teapot brand of THC-infused tea in Canada where weed is legal, and in the last year tested a potential U.S. version made from THC derived from hemp. To test the reformulated product, a panel of trained sensory experts sampled Teapot with both THC from hemp and marijuana, and could not taste a difference, said the company's head of cannabis, Paul Weaver. 'This is a source of growth for our organization, flat out,' Weaver said. Cautious moves Big Alcohol is treading carefully in cannabis drinks because state and federal regulations have shifted, and could change again, said five executives at ingredients suppliers and THC beverage brands. California, which has legal weed, banned hemp-based drinks last year to try to prevent children from consuming them. Other states have introduced special taxes or restricted sales, ambiguity that has held alcohol companies back from entering the market. Sen. Mitch McConnell, who helped first legalize hemp in 2018 to support farmers in his home state of Kentucky, in July introduced a provision in a government spending bill that could ban intoxicating products using the plant. McConnell wrote in an op-ed published in the Louisville Courier Journal on July 17 that his efforts are aimed at keeping THC gummies that look like familiar candies out of the hands of children. He did not provide comment beyond the op-ed. Big brewers have been burned by past cannabis investments. In 2022, the biggest U.S. brewer Anheuser-Busch inBev exited a deal with Tilray to research cannabis drinks in Canada. The same year, Molson Coors shuttered its U.S. business selling beverages infused with CBD, a compound in marijuana and hemp that does not have psychoactive effects, citing an uncertain regulatory environment. Constellation Brands restructured its investment in Canadian cannabis company Canopy Growth last year after poor sales. Now, however, hemp-based THC drinks are sold widely. Beyond beer's declining sales, brewers face an additional squeeze from tariffs, which threaten to push up prices for imported drinks, and Hispanic consumers, who are staying home due to fears of U.S. immigration enforcement. High margins Liquor stores are embracing the buzzy beverages to boost their margins as the drinks, typically more expensive than a six-pack of beer, start to outsell other types of alcohol. Jon Halper, CEO of Minnesota liquor store chain Top Ten Liquors, told Reuters in June that THC beverages now make up 15 per cent of his business after the company introduced them two years ago. By next year, they could grow to rival wine, currently in the mid twenty percent of his sales, he said. The drinks take shelf space mostly from beer because they are in coolers, Halper said. The margins on cannabis beverages are higher than those for beer and spirits, helping his firm offset softening alcohol sales. Charleston, South Carolina-based Southern Horizon Logistics, a sister company of Budweiser distributor Southern Crown Partners, is now selling more hemp-based drinks than wine and spirits, said Justin Ashby, the company's chief administrative officer. Ryan Moses, CEO of Nashville, Tennessee-based beer, wine and spirits distributor Best Brands, said that growth from THC-infused drinks has helped offset flat and declining alcohol sales. Instead of possible layoffs, Moses has been able to re-allocate employees to the new category. 'It could be as big as the other categories five to 10 years from now,' Moses said. Consumers like Josh Goldberg, 39, of Lindenhurst, New York, are also trading out beer and tequila for THC seltzers. Goldberg made the switch almost two years ago, and hasn't had a drink since. 'It replaces the physical act of drinking with drinking something else,' Goldberg said. Halper, the owner of Minnesota liquor stores, said the customers buying THC-infused drinks tend to skew female and over the age of 35. 'The soccer mom has really embraced the category in a big way,' Halper said. --- Reporting by Jessica DiNapoli in New York and Emma Rumney in London. Editing by Lisa Jucca and Michael Learmonth

ExxonMobil's Core Upstream Growth Engines: Permian and Guyana
Exxon Mobil Corporation XOM has a strong portfolio of upstream assets, centered around oil-rich prolific resources in the Permian Basin and offshore Guyana. Production costs in those assets are low. Therefore, the leading integrated energy major can weather a challenging business environment when oil and gas prices turn unfavorable. With a strong focus on strengthening its presence in the Permian, ExxonMobil completed the acquisition of Pioneer Natural Resources Company on May 3, 2024. With 1.4 million net acres of the combined company in the Delaware and Midland basins, and an estimated 16 billion barrels of oil equivalent resources, ExxonMobil has greatly transformed its upstream portfolio. Similar to its operations in the Permian, ExxonMobil boasts a robust project pipeline in offshore Guyana resources. Despite this operational strength and resource depth, near-term challenges remain. ExxonMobil recently disclosed in an 8-K filing that it expects earnings for the second quarter of 2025 to be hurt sequentially by lower oil and natural gas prices. With exploration and production activities contributing mostly to XOM's bottom line, a weaker commodity pricing environment in the June quarter of this year is a concern, even as the company continues to deliver long-term growth from its world-class assets. CVX & FANG Also Have a Strong Position in Permian Both Chevron CVX and DiamondbackEnergyFANG are leading energy players having a strong presence in the Permian Basin. In the Permian, the most prolific basin in the United States, Chevron is among the largest producers of oil and gas. Production contributions from the Permian have been aiding CVX's bottom line. Diamondback is a pure-play Permian producer. Hence, FANG is well-positioned to gain from producing at a low-cost asset. FANG has been increasing its total Permian acres over time. XOM's Price Performance, Valuation & Estimates Shares of XOM have declined a marginal 0.5% over the past year against the nominal 0.7% gain of the composite stocks belonging to the industry. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research From a valuation standpoint, XOM trades at a trailing 12-month enterprise value to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) of 6.73X. This is above the broader industry average of 4.27X. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The Zacks Consensus Estimate for XOM's 2025 earnings has been revised upward over the past seven days.

Trump announces more trade deals as deadline looms for higher tariffs on Canada
U.S. President Donald Trump meets with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., in the Oval Office of the White House, Tuesday, July 22, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump announced more trade deals this week as his deadline for Canada and the United States to negotiate a new economic and security partnership draws closer. Trump said Tuesday that the United States had made deals with Japan and the Philippines. The White House also provided more information on the framework of a deal with Indonesia that Trump had announced earlier this month. The announcements come just over a week before Trump's latest duty deadline, and as pressure mounts on many of America's largest trading partners. Trump has sent letters to multiple nations, including Canada, saying that if no deal is made by Aug. 1, he will impose high tariffs on imports to the United States. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc is in Washington this week but downplayed expectations of a deal by Trump's deadline. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 23, 2025. Kelly Geraldine Malone, The Canadian Press
