Appen share price climbs 6% as tech outperforms
The Appen share price is leaping higher today alongside the broader ASX tech sector.
The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) has surged 3.9% right now, with none of its constituents having slipped into the red.
It's a similar case for the S&P/ASX All Technology Index (ASX: XTX). The index has gained 3.7% at the time of writing.
ASX tech stocks' day in the sun follows an almost equally strong session on Wall Street overnight. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite rose 3.11% in Tuesday's session overseas – its best single-session performance in nearly four weeks.
Meanwhile, the ASX 200 tech sector is being bolstered by news of Megaport Ltd (ASX: MP1)'s 10% revenue jump. The ASX 200 tech giant's stock is currently up nearly 21%.
Though, the market isn't expecting to hear news of Appen's earnings until 25 August. No doubt all eyes will be on the stock that day to see if it can correct some of its recent losses.
The Appen share price has plummeted 43% since the start of 2022. It has also dropped half its value over the last 12 months.
