The stock market is thriving in the summer of 2025. Despite an uncertain economy, the leading stock indexes are setting new highs on a regular basis. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index has gained 19% in the last quarter, while the more volatile Nasdaq-100 rose 26%.

But there are still some great values hiding in plain sight, even in the tech sector. Some incredible growth stocks never got the memo about soaring in 2025. When the modest stock charts combine with great long-term business prospects and modest valuations, it's time to take a second look at these undervalued growth stocks.

Let me introduce you to Nice Systems (NASDAQ: NICE), Alarm.com (NASDAQ: ALRM), and GoDaddy (NYSE: GDDY). These three innovative tech stocks are some of the fastest-growing companies you can buy at a reasonable price today.

What these tech stocks have in common (besides being a bargain)

These stocks have a few things in common:

• They have cloud-based business models, selling software and services with long-term contracts or monthly subscription plans.
• Client lists are primarily in the business world, ranging from GoDaddy's 20 million small businesses to NICE's nearly exclusive focus on enterprise-scale clients.
• Many of their products are mission-critical tools for data security or physical safety monitoring. Once your company signs a deal with one of these companies, you're pretty likely to stay committed for the long haul.
• Their lucrative business models have driven strong revenue growth and robust free cash flows in the last three years:

...and here are the bargains

With business descriptions and financial results of this caliber, you probably expect Nice, Alarm.com, and GoDaddy shares to trade at sky-high valuation ratios. But all three stocks are down year to date and don't look expensive at all. In a world where the "Magnificent Seven" stocks trade for more than 50 times free cash flow and double-digit price-to-sales ratios, this trio is a breath of affordable air:

Why I'm excited about these tech stocks right now

So, I'm talking about three high-octane growth stocks trading at modest valuation ratios. All of them target very large global markets, yielding excellent business results.

These stocks could double or triple in value and still appear inexpensive compared to the Magnificent Seven club. I'm not saying that any of them will make that kind of jump anytime soon, as it often takes some time before market makers catch up on the brilliant results of a fast-growing software stock. But investing is more of a marathon than a sprint, so I don't mind waiting around for a solid long-term return.

As a tech nerd with a long-standing history of cloud-based side gigs, I've used GoDaddy's security and data management services for years. I don't have a personal connection to Nice or Alarm.com, but both are award-winning providers of leading-edge services. I would probably be a happy customer if I ran a large business with a significant need for call center and security monitoring services.

Until then, you should consider grabbing a few shares of Alarm.com, GoDaddy, and/or Nice Systems. These tech stocks are downright cheap in July 2025.
