Wall Street is now recording fresh highs, with the S&P 500 at 2,550.64 and the Nasdaq composite at 6,587.25.  And the best part – this bull run is set to continue in the new year, according to Credit Suisse. The firm is predicting that the S&P 500 will rise by 13% by the end of 2018 from Monday’s close. “Our market views are predicated on a supportive economic backdrop, with benign recessionary risks and a pickup in near-term indicators,” says strategist Jonathan Golub.

But not all sectors are created equally, and Credit Suisse places tech firmly in the lead: “Technology is our favorite sector despite elevated multiples. Fundamentals remain strong given the group’s exposure to secular growth themes in subgroups such as internet and software-as-a-service.”

Bearing this in mind, we decided to look for three of the hottest tech stocks set up for stellar growth over the next few months. To find these stocks we turned to the TipRanks innovative stock screener. We filtered the database of over 5,000 stocks to only tech stocks with a ‘Strong Buy’ consensus rating from top analysts.

This nifty tool ensures that you are only looking at stocks with significant Street support. Crucially, we also scanned for stocks with big upside potential from the current share price.

Now let’s take a closer look at just three of these stocks:

1. Box Inc 

BOX (NYSE:BOX) says it “empowers enterprises to revolutionize how they work by securely connecting their people, information and applications.” And this fast-growing cloud content company is already up by 25% over the last year. Top analysts are predicting serious further growth of 33% for the next 12 months, from the current share price to over $25.

Also check out how all six recent analyst ratings on BOX are a buy. Notably the most recent rating comes from Canaccord Genuity analyst Richard Davis. He calls BOX “the leader in next-generation content management” and says the stock is “a good bet in small/medium-cap software.” This is big news because TipRanks ranks Davis #3 out of 4,696 tracked analysts. On BOX stock specifically, Davis has a very impressive 89% success rate and 25% average return. His $24 price target suggests upside for BOX of 25%.
