The first tech stock that investors can buy and hold for the next decade is Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG). The business sports a market cap of $3.8 trillion. And its share price has soared 767% in the past decade (as of Feb. 24).
Alphabet continues to post impressive growth even at this scale. Revenue jumped 15% year over year in 2025 to $403 billion. This was driven by Google Search’s top line rising 13%. YouTube also topped $60 billion in revenue between ads and subscriptions.
Investors will appreciate the company’s robust financial position, demonstrated by an operating margin of 32% in the fourth quarter. This supports free cash flow (FCF) that is directed to ongoing share repurchases and dividends.
Over the long run, Alphabet has shown that it can consistently grow the bottom line. Net income increased at a compound annual rate of 23.4% between 2015 and 2025. Solid double-digit gains should continue far into the future.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a topic that’s on most investors’ minds. This company has the resources to invest aggressively to build out its technical infrastructure, such as data centers and services related to its AI strategy. Alphabet is involved in every phase of AI development, from research and chip development to cloud computing, user-facing apps, and advertising tools. This gives it a unique advantage, allowing it to leverage its AI capital expenditures to benefit the entire business.
The stock isn’t trading at an egregious valuation today, which might come as a surprise given that it’s up 73% in the past 12 months. At a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 28.8, investors shouldn’t think twice about buying Alphabet.
The second tech stock that investors can buy and hold for the next decade is Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META). It carries a market cap of $1.6 trillion. The stock is up 506% over the trailing-10-year period.
