Pricey tech shares have left investors questioning the attractiveness of the sector.
However, the sector still offers some under-the-surface investment opportunities.
Morgan Stanley shared 3 hardware names that could provide more than 30% upside.
Following last year's rally, tech-stock investors are now taking a second look at the sector as higher prices and the appeal of cheaper names challenge the attractiveness of their bets.
However, in a March 1 note, Morgan Stanley highlighted investment opportunities within what many view as an overly crowded technology sector, as it houses the tech hardware industry which tends to benefit from improving macroeconomic conditions.

Ultimately, the strategy is about finding the best of the best and the most exciting growth, Jackson said.
Some might argue that "exciting" and "the UK market" don't exactly mix. The market doesn't contain many of the headline grabbing and high growth stocks, such as Amazon or

Goldman Sachs says Americans have added $1 trillion to money market mutual funds in the pandemic.
That means retail traders' influence on the market should only grow in the months ahead.
Goldman says that money could continue to blow up big short bets, just like it did with GameStop.
The GameStop short squeeze and stock bonanza might have felt like a once-a-decade or once-in-a-lifetime event, but Goldman Sachs says it could happen again, and soon.
Even if there were many ways the social media-fueled frenzy in GameStop and AMC Networks and Bed Bath & Beyond was unique, many of its most notable ingredients are still there, according to Goldman Sachs. Chief among them are these two: There are a lot of big short bets on the market, and retail investors still have a ton of money.

How day-trading is changing short-selling: Carson Block interview

This story is available exclusively to Insider subscribers.
Become an Insider and start reading now.
Investor Carson Block says he's had to trade more frequently to fight the risk of short squeezes.
Block says more investors are making trading decisions based on technical, not fundamental, factors.
He says that means he has to be willing to take losses and try again.
Short-sellers faced a new reality the last few weeks as retail squeezes became a threat they could no longer ignore.
A saying sometimes attributed to the famous economist John Maynard Keynes warns investors, "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent." If big investors needed a reminder of that idea, they got one in the past few weeks as hedge funds were squeezed out of short positions in the likes of GameStop.
