Despite the Federal Reserve’s latest monetary policy update, tech stocks continue to gain in the stock market today. This is evident as the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite heads towards newer heights as of today’s opening bell. If anything, the current focus on tech stocks makes sense in the larger scheme of things. For the most part, the pandemic supercharged the world’s reliance on tech. From the current immense demand for enterprise software services, fintechs, and even streaming tech, this is apparent. So much so that tech firms are also among the names turning heads during the current earnings season.
For instance, we could take a look at Fastly (NYSE: FSLY) now. All in all, the cloud computing firm reported solid figures in its latest fiscal quarter reports yesterday. Fastly raked in a total revenue of $87 million and posted a loss per share of 11 cents. When you compare this to analyst estimates of $83.7 million and a loss of 19 cents, Fastly appears to be gaining momentum.
At the same time, Chinese tech names like Tencent (OTCMKTS: TCEHY) are not slowing down as well. Earlier today, the company launched three new semiconductor chips today. These chips serve to conduct artificial intelligence (AI), video transcoding, and cloud computing-based operations respectively. Overall, there seems to be no shortage of excitement in the tech world today. On that note, check out these top tech stocks making plays in the stock marketnow.
Best Tech Stocks To Buy [Or Sell] In November 2021
International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE: IBM)
Roku Inc.
Roku is a streaming company that essentially pioneered the industry. It enables content publishers to build and monetize large audiences. Also, it provides advertisers with unique tools and capabilities to engage consumers by licensing both hardware and software to other companies. On Wednesday, the company reported its third-quarter financials.
Diving in, the company reported a total net revenue of $680 million, growing by 51% year-over-year. Also, its platform revenue increased to $583 million by 82% compared to a year earlier. This reflects significant contributions from both content distribution and advertising activities.
The company says that, despite some macro challenges that impacted its advertising partners, its Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) grew to $40.10, up by 49% year-over-year. Roku’s active accounts reached 56.4 million, a net increase of 1.3 million active accounts from the previous quarter. Considering all this, should investors add ROKU stock to their portfolios right now?
Next on our list of tech stocks, we have Penn National Gaming, a tech company that operates various gaming and racing properties It also owns Barstool Sports, a leading digital sport, entertainment, and media company. In total, the company has approximately 50,000 gaming machines, 1,300 table games, and close to 8,800 hotel rooms across the country. On Thursday, the company also reported its third-quarter financials.
Firstly, revenue came in 30% higher year over year to $1.5 billion. It also reported a net income of $86.1 million for the quarter. The company also doubled its Barstool Sportsbook footprint by launching the mobile app in five states this quarter. In addition to that, it also opened Hollywood Casino York with strong initial results. Furthermore, it has also begun to roll out its market-leading cashless, cardless, and contactless (3Cs) technology across its portfolio. Given this piece of news, should you be on the lookout for PENN stock?
Workiva is a tech company that simplifies complex work for thousands of organizations worldwide. In essence, it is a global software-as-a-service company that provides a cloud-based connected and reporting compliance platform. It allows its users to transform the way they manage and report business data.
The company reported its third-quarter financials on November 3, 2021. To begin with, the company announced that its subscription and support revenue increased by 30.4% year-over-year at $98.9 million. Professional services increased by 12.5% at $13.8 million. In light of this, the company has raised its full-year guidance and expects a total revenue to range from $439 million to $440 million. With the company’s strong fundamentals, will you consider investing in WK stock in the stock market today?
Another major name to know in the tech space now would be Microsoft. Through its industry leading portfolio of tech offerings, the company serves consumers and organizations across the globe. Whether it is through its Office productivity software or Azure cloud computing services, Microsoft brings a lot to the table. Safe to say, few can boast a tech portfolio as impressive as the company.
Despite its current momentum, the company continues to adapt its operations to the latest trends in tech. Namely, Microsoft is reportedly looking to launch its answer to Meta’s (NASDAQ: FB) metaverse. Now, Microsoft’s plans in this space are not entirely new. In fact, the company aims to provide a more work-focused version of the metaverse. As part of this initiative, Microsoft Teams will start featuring AI-enabled avatars and immersive workspaces. Furthermore, Microsoft Dynamics 365, its enterprise resource planning app, will facilitate the recreation of virtual workspaces. As Microsoft seems to be betting on the metaverse, could MSFT stock be worth investing in for you?
Last but not least, we have the International Business Machines Corporation, or IBM for short. With a major presence in over 171 countries globally, IBM is undoubtedly a titan in the tech world today. Now, what does IBM do exactly might you ask? Well, the company is active in a wide array of tech-related fields, so a bit of everything to be honest. By and large, it has divisions that focus on cloud computing, enterprise software, and even quantum computing, to name a few.
Even with all of this, IBM continues to find ways to refine its massive operations. Earlier today, the company officially spun off its infrastructure services arm, Kyndryl (NYSE: KD). Right off the bat, the new company currently boasts a quarterly revenue of about $19 billion. Seeing as Kyndryl is among the company’s lower margin and less flexible departments, the move makes sense. Now, IBM can focus on its more prominent growth areas while the Kyndryl team can focus entirely on identifying specific industry trends. All things considered, is IBM stock worth watching right now?

Mathematicians use AI to identify emerging COVID-19 variants

Scientists at The Universities of Manchester and Oxford have developed an AI framework that can identify and track new and concerning COVID-19 variants and could help with other infections in the future.
Scientists at The Universities of Manchester and Oxford have developed an AI framework that can identify and track new and concerning COVID-19 variants and could help with other infections in the future.
The framework combines dimension reduction techniques and a new explainable clustering algorithm called CLASSIX, developed by mathematicians at The University of Manchester. This enables the quick identification of groups of viral genomes that might present a risk in the future from huge volumes of data.
The study, presented this week in the journal PNAS, could support traditional methods of tracking viral evolution, such as phylogenetic analysis, which currently require extensive manual curation.
Roberto Cahuantzi, a researcher at The University of Manchester and first and corresponding author of the paper, said: “Since the emergence of COVID-19, we have seen multiple waves of new variants, heightened transmissibility, evasion of immune responses, and increased severity of illness.
“Scientists are now intensifying efforts to pinpoint these worrying new variants, such as alpha, delta and omicron, at the earliest stages of their emergence. If we can find a way to do this quickly and efficiently, it will enable us to be more proactive in our response, such as tailored vaccine development and may even enable us to eliminate the variants before they become established.”
Like many other RNA viruses, COVID-19 has a high mutation rate and short time between generations meaning it evolves extremely rapidly. This means identifying new strains that are likely to be problematic in the future requires considerable effort.
Currently, there are almost 16 million sequences available on the GISAID database (the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data), which provides access to genomic data of influenza viruses.
Mapping the evolution and history of all COVID-19 genomes from this data is currently done using extremely large amounts of computer and human time.
The described method allows automation of such tasks. The researchers processed 5.7 million high-coverage sequences in only one to two days on a standard modern laptop; this would not be possible for existing methods, putting identification of concerning pathogen strains in the hands of more researchers due to reduced resource needs.
Thomas House, Professor of Mathematical Sciences at The University of Manchester, said: “The unprecedented amount of genetic data generated during the pandemic demands improvements to our methods to analyse it thoroughly. The data is continuing to grow rapidly but without showing a benefit to curating this data, there is a risk that it will be removed or deleted.
“We know that human expert time is limited, so our approach should not replace the work of humans all together but work alongside them to enable the job to be done much quicker and free our experts for other vital developments.”
The proposed method works by breaking down genetic sequences of the COVID-19 virus into smaller “words” (called 3-mers) represented as numbers by counting them. Then, it groups similar sequences together based on their word patterns using machine learning techniques.
Stefan Güttel, Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Manchester, said: “The clustering algorithm CLASSIX we developed is much less computationally demanding than traditional methods and is fully explainable, meaning that it provides textual and visual explanations of the computed clusters.”
Roberto Cahuantzi added: “Our analysis serves as a proof of concept, demonstrating the potential use of machine learning methods as an alert tool for the early discovery of emerging major variants without relying on the need to generate phylogenies.
“Whilst phylogenetics remains the ‘gold standard’ for understanding the viral ancestry, these machine learning methods can accommodate several orders of magnitude more sequences than the current phylogenetic methods and at a low computational cost.”

Article Title
Unsupervised identification of significant lineages of SARS-CoV-2 through scalable machine learning methods
While the size of the United States makes it hard for it to compete with the inter-city train access available in places like Japan and many European countries, Amtrak trains are a very popular transportation option in certain pockets of the country — so much so that the country’s national railway company is expanding its Northeast Corridor by more than one million seats.
Running from Boston all the way south to Washington, D.C., the route is one of the most popular as it passes through the most densely populated part of the country and serves as a commuter train for those who need to go between East Coast cities such as New York and Philadelphia for business.

Amtrak launches new routes, promises travelers ‘additional travel options’
Earlier this month, Amtrak announced that it was adding four additional Northeastern routes to its schedule — two more routes between New York’s Penn Station and Union Station in Washington, D.C. on the weekend, a new early-morning weekday route between New York and Philadelphia’s William H. Gray III 30th Street Station and a weekend route between Philadelphia and Boston’s South Station.
According to Amtrak, these additions will increase Northeast Corridor’s service by 20% on the weekdays and 10% on the weekends for a total of one million additional seats when counted by how many will ride the corridor over the year.
“More people are taking the train than ever before and we’re proud to offer our customers additional travel options when they ride with us on the Northeast Regional,” Amtrak Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Eliot Hamlisch said in a statement on the new routes. “The Northeast Regional gets you where you want to go comfortably, conveniently and sustainably as you breeze past traffic on I-95 for a more enjoyable travel experience.”
Here are some of the other Amtrak changes you can expect to see
Amtrak also said that, in the 2023 financial year, the Northeast Corridor had nearly 9.2 million riders — 8% more than it had pre-pandemic and a 29% increase from 2022. The higher demand, particularly during both off-peak hours and the time when many business travelers use to get to work, is pushing Amtrak to invest into this corridor in particular.
To reach more customers, Amtrak has also made several changes to both its routes and pricing system. In the fall of 2023, it introduced a type of new “Night Owl Fare” — if traveling during very late or very early hours, one can go between cities like New York and Philadelphia or Philadelphia and Washington. D.C. for $5 to $15.
As travel on the same routes during peak hours can reach as much as $300, this was a deliberate move to reach those who have the flexibility of time and might have otherwise preferred more affordable methods of transportation such as the bus. After seeing strong uptake, Amtrak added this type of fare to more Boston routes.
The largest distances, such as the ones between Boston and New York or New York and Washington, are available at the lowest rate for $20.
