Selecting growth stocks presents a challenge when considering factors like disruptive business models and leadership. So, instead of extensive financial analysis, observing the choices of millionaire investors and hedge fund managers offers insights into potential market-beating options. Indeed, these professionals possess substantial research resources and unique insights, making their stock selections noteworthy.
And, exploring the recent activities of such investors can unveil compelling growth stock opportunities. Therefore, let’s talk about three extremely high-growth tech stocks you should have now if you want to be a millionaire in ten years.
Microsoft (MSFT)
Having successfully concluded the Activision Blizzard merger, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has solidified its position in the gaming sector.
Consequently, the firm is minimizing competition and enhancing the appeal of its Xbox Game Pass subscription service. Known for its commitment to innovation, Microsoft has demonstrated consistent upward momentum. In fact, investors see it as a resilient stock for the past five years, making it a favorable long-term investment.
Microsoft embeds ChatGPT in Bing, Azure, Teams, and Microsoft 365 Copilot, fortifying its technology across platforms. Investors like Ron Baron and Joel Greenblatt initiated new MSFT positions. Also, Ken Fisher expanded his significant stake, benefiting from the company’s robust free cash flow growth and annual dividend increases.
Furthermore, Microsoft continues to revolutionize technology’s future using AI, notably enhancing workplace efficiency. The company launched an AI-augmented co-pilot version of its widely used Office Suite, promising swift improvements in departmental work speed and efficiency. Hence, these underscore MSFT’s resiliency.

Zoom Communications (NASDAQ:ZM) maintains an optimistic financial outlook for fiscal year 2024. The comms firm projects total revenue around $4.51 billion, affirming its growth commitment. Recent innovations like Zoom Docs and AI meeting tools, coupled with acquisitions and hybrid work solutions, position Zoom as a versatile tech powerhouse poised for success.
