SolarWinds Corp (SWI): Among the Tech Stocks That Are Up the Most So Far in 2025
We recently compiled a list of the . In this article, we are going to take a look at where SolarWinds Corp (NYSE:SWI) stands against the other tech stocks. Most tech stocks haven't been doing well so far this year, but this isn't a problem that all tech stocks face. The technology sector is broad, and there are always some stocks that still do well regardless of the broader market environment. Many of these companies are leading the way in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and cybersecurity. Their ability to adapt and launch new solutions has set them apart from the pack. For example, firms that reported robust growth in large customer contracts or unveiled breakthrough AI tools have seen their shares surge, even as industry giants have struggled with market volatility. It's worth looking into these winners if you're looking for opportunities in this market. For this article, I screened the best-performing tech stocks year-to-date. I will also mention the number of hedge fund investors in these stocks. Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter's strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points (). A systems administrator sitting at their desk surrounded by computer monitors, overseeing a complex infrastructure. Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q4 2024: 21 SolarWinds Corp (NYSE:SWI) is a provider of simple, powerful, secure observability and IT management software for hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The stock is up significantly so far in 2025 due to the announcement that the company will be acquired by private equity firm Turn/River Capital in an all-cash transaction valued at $4.4 billion. The deal offers shareholders $18.50 per share, which implies a 35% premium over the average closing price of SolarWinds stock during the previous 90 trading days. This acquisition was unanimously approved by SolarWinds' board of directors and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025. While awaiting the completion of the acquisition, SolarWinds has continued to enhance its business operations. The company unveiled improvements to its Partner Program on February 4, 2025. It focuses on three key areas: increasing partner profitability, enhancing partner capabilities, and providing partners with the tools needed to succeed. SolarWinds also announced on April 8, 2025, that it would participate in the GITEX 2025 global events to showcase its latest product innovations. Once the transaction is finalized, SolarWinds Corp (NYSE:SWI) will transition to a privately held company, and its stock will no longer be traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The consensus price target of $18 implies 2.65% downside. SWI stock is up 29.75% year-to-date. Overall SWI ranks 14th on our list of the tech stocks that are up the most so far in 2025.

It's not just a conference, it's your passport to a fascinating world of innovation: cutting-edge AI and cybersecurity technologies shaping our world.

Picture yourself navigating through a sea of brilliant minds in AI and cybersecurity, a space where every conversation could be the spark that could transform your career or business. So, step one, make sure you have set your plans and registration to go. This is not just an ordinary tech forum but your opportunity to dive into the pulse of Africa's technologies. What to put on your agenda If digital security is your speciality, then the Cybersecurity Forum is your front-row seat to understand Africa's battles against cyber threats. It is here where solutions are genuinely crafted to address Africa's loss of $4 billion annually due to cybercrime. You'll be rubbing shoulders with experts who are turning the tide against cyber vulnerabilities. On April 16, real magic is set to happen at the HackMasters event . Imagine yourself being part of a global network of over 100 countries's top security leaders. Not only is this networking, but offers an opportunity to embark on a collaborative mission to foster Africa's digital resilience. We are talking real-time exercises, cutting-edge case studies, and the chance to be at the forefront of cyber resilience. Is there more? Of course! GITEX will also have panels and events to help you meet your curiosity about AI. The AI Everything Africa segment is a goldmine for anyone curious about the future.

As a piece of advice from me: preparation is your secret weapon to network well. Before you arrive, do your homework. Research the speakers, understand the session topics, and have a game plan. Bring plenty of business cards, but more importantly, bring your curiosity. Every conversation is an opportunity. Dress professionally, but comfortably — you'll be doing a lot of walking and networking. GITEX's real magic happens between the sessions. The coffee breaks, unexpected conversations in the hallway are the setting where connections are made and ideas are born. Don't be passive, engage in conversations, ask questions, and introduce yourself to people who interest you. When the conference ends, it's time for real work to begin. Take some time to review your notes, reach out to the connections you've made, and most importantly, start implementing the insights you've gained. When you go to GITEX Africa, you are not just attending a conference, you are joining a movement that's reshaping the continent's technological landscape. So, let's step into the future, learn, connect, and get inspired. Get ready to dive in! Tags: ForumsgitexGITEX AFRICAGITEX Africa 2025
