We recently published a list of Analysts Identify 10 Least Risky Internet Stocks To Invest In. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Spotify Technology S.A. (NYSE:SPOT) stands against other least risky internet stocks to invest in.

Investors usually do not waste any time reminding everyone of the dot-com bubble whenever the market takes a turn for the worse. With a recession imminent, some sectors have already corrected by so much that they are in bear market territory. Internet stocks belong to the same group.

Analysts at Evercore believe most of the internet stocks have very limited exposure to tariffs but still get hammered every time the market crashes on tariff developments. This means these stocks now present a favorable risk-to-reward ratio for investors.

We therefore decided to dig into the details of each of these internet stocks. To come up with our list of the 10 least risky internet stocks, we used the list compiled by Evercore’s analysts and ranked them by risk, with the least risky stock taking the number one spot.
