Tech Stock Stories: The Pandemic Winners

As we breath a collective sigh of relief that the COVID-19 pandemic is behind us, it’s interesting to think about the winners and losers of this unique period of living memory.

Judging by the stock performance of US tech giants, I’d say their shareholders did rather well while the rest of the world switched to remote work and spent all our time indoors.

Please enjoy my Tableau Viz below, which is a candle chart of the stock performance of US tech giants during the pre- and post-pandemic period. We can see the month average highs, lows, opens and closes, and you can pick the company of interest from the drop down list on the right.

The data set was presented yesterday as part of the Tidy Tuesday series, popular with R users.
