TOP PICK
It is challenging picking a Top Pick in tech as many of the companies are close to price targets. It will benefit from the trend in remote work. They have over 600 million users, most don't pay, so the challenge is to monetize that group. They are expanding into enterprise and they purchased a security software company.

TOP PICK
Though not heavily covered, Dropbox has its fans. Tech-stock analyst Kim Bolton last month made Dropbox a top pick based on the ongoing work-from-home trend. However, most of DBX's 600 million users don't pay for Dropbox's file storage services, so the company is expanding into enterprise by purchasing HelloSign, a security software company known for its e-signature. The $230 million deal was Dropbox's first acquisition. Last month, Jefferies upgraded its price target of Dropbox from $22 to $28, hailing the company's double-digit revenue growth. The lockdown spiked Dropbox usage by 14% in March and 6% in April, though declined 4% in May. Dropbox reported 18% revenue growth in Q1, and analysts projects annual EPS growth at 32% over five years. Dropbox didn't suffer as sharp as decline during the March bottom, though it now trades just a dollar below its 52-week high of $24.14, and nearly $5 shy of its $27.70 price target. However, its PE is 455x.

Dropbox is seen as a platform to share documents, but the companies that will do well in this space are those that enhance office productivity.
