Although technology stocks have performed well this year and in June, not all stocks have unlimited prospects.

Although technology stocks have performed well this year and in June, not all stocks have performed well. Although Nvidia (NVDA.O) and Microsoft (MSFT.O) continue to rise, helping NASDAQ Composite Index to rise 14% in two months, the following five technology stocks performed disappointingly in June.

AMD (AMD.O)

As of Tuesday's close, AMD had fallen 7.4% in June, becoming the worst performer of the S&P 500 Information Technology Industry Index this month. AMD's graphics processor business competes directly with Nvidia, a darling of the artificial intelligence field. Recent pessimistic comments about its AI chip business prospects have put pressure on its stock price.

Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore wrote in a research report this month: "We believe that the upward revision potential of the AI business is limited", and downgraded AMD's stock rating from "hold" to "neutral". Nevertheless, AMD's stock price is up 4.9% this year.

Enphase Energy (ENPH.O)

Enphase Energy fell 7% and was the second worst-performing stock. So far this year, the stock has fallen 9.9%. This microinverter system manufacturer (which converts the energy from solar panels into usable power) reported disappointing first-quarter results and provided lower-than-expected revenue guidance, citing weak demand. Other solar companies are facing the same problem. Higher interest rates increase the cost of installing solar panels, reducing consumer motivation to buy.

Zebra Technologies (ZBRA.O)

Zebra Technologies (automation equipment company) stock has fallen 5.5% so far in June, making it the third worst-performing stock in the index. However, the stock is still up 8% this year. Zebra's first-quarter revenue and earnings announced on April 30 were higher than expected, driving the stock up 4.9%. However, the continued decline in sales has caught investors' attention. Zebra's sales in 2023 dropped 21%. First-quarter sales were down 16% year-on-year.

Gen Digital (GEN.O)

Gen Digital rose 15% on May 10, when the company, which specializes in consumer security software, announced better-than-expected quarterly results, provided strong full-year guidance, and announced a stock buyback plan. However, as of June, Gen Digital was the fourth worst-performing stock in the S&P 500 Information Technology Industry, down 5.1%. The stock is up 3.2% this year. Morgan Stanley analysts downgraded its stock rating from "hold" to "neutral" on June 7, believing that the opportunity for profit forecasts to rise is limited due to slowing sales and near-peak profit margins.

EPAM Systems (EPAM.N)

EPAM Systems' stock has fallen 4.3% this month so far, making it the fifth worst-performing stock in the industry in June. This information technology service company said when it announced its performance on May 9 that the demand environment is still challenging and will not improve as quickly as expected a quarter ago. Revenue and revenue fell year-on-year in the first quarter according to GAAP. The stock price fell 27%. EPAM Systems' stock has fallen 43% by 2024.
