Tech stocks have been under pressure since the end of last year and while some of the e-commerce software stocks have fared somewhat better, they have not been spared, with share price declining 9.2% over the last month. Wix is down 15.4% during the same time, and is heading into the earnings with analyst price target of $93.10, compared to share price of $67.02.

One way to find opportunities in the market is to watch for generational shifts in the economy. Almost every company is slowly finding itself becoming a technology company and facing cybersecurity risks and as a result, the demand for cloud-native cybersecurity is skyrocketing. This company is leading a massive technological shift in the industry and with revenue growth of 70% year on year and best-in-class SaaS metrics it should definitely be on your radar.
