There are signs that there’s pent-up demand forming for servers and storage and IT spending—demand which may come in 2010, said Craig Berger, senior technology, media and telecom analyst at FBR Capital Markets. (See his stock recommendations, below.)
“As the U.S. economy improves further in 2010, and as Europe turns the corner and improves, those will be the 2010 growth drivers that may take stocks and earnings power up to the next level,” Berger told CNBC.
Notebooks, netbooks, smart phones and consumer applications were among the top products of 2009, said Berger.
