Which brokers offer CFDs on US tech stocks?
Verdict
- Pepperstone is our pick for US tech stock CFDs: its 600+ US share CFDs cost a published $0.02 per share per side, and it names tech stocks such as Nvidia, AMD, Alphabet, Tesla and Micron among its perpetual CFD underlyings.
- For UAE residents, the standard share CFD is the contract to use; Pepperstone's UAE retail margin table lists perpetuals on indices and commodities, not on single tech stocks.
- If you want the whole sector in one trade, Pepperstone's NAS100 CFD averages 1 point on Razor with no commission.
- Capital.com (UAE CMA-licensed Dubai company, 20:1 share leverage) and XS (share CFDs on MT4 and MT5) also accept UAE residents.
US technology stocks are a staple of CFD share lists. The differences lie in how you pay, how much of the sector you can reach and which contract types you get. Pepperstone gives the broadest set of options in our data. Here is the menu, with costs.
Pepperstone's tech exposure in three forms
Pepperstone offers US tech stocks as single-share CFDs within its 600+ US share range, at $0.02 per share per side with no minimum. Some trade around the clock: 100+ US shares run 24/5 under a '-24' suffix, Apple's AAPL.US-24 being Pepperstone's own example. In some regions Pepperstone also runs perpetual CFDs on single tech names. And for the sector as a whole, NAS100 is quoted at a 1-point average on Razor and 1.2 on Standard. UAE retail leverage is 1:20 on shares and up to 1:200 on major indices. You can trade all of it from Pepperstone's app, MT5 or cTrader, plus TradingView and MT4 on a Razor account.

Single stocks or the Nasdaq 100: a cost comparison
Building a $30,000 position split across five tech stocks at around $200 a share means 150 shares and $3 of commission to open, $3 to close, plus five spreads, and $1,500 of margin at 1:20. The same $30,000 on NAS100 costs one spread: at $3 a point, the 1-point Razor average is $3 a round trip, with no commission, and needs $150 of margin at 1:200. The index spreads your risk across 100 companies; single stocks let you pick winners and losers, and carry bigger gaps around earnings.
