SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- An analyst's new upbeat view of Amazon.com Inc. and an acquisition by touchscreen technology company Synaptics Inc. highlighted activity in tech-sector trading Wednesday.
Amazon (AMZN) rose almost 1% to close at $335.20, after Goldman Sachs analyst Heath Terry added the company to his "conviction list" and maintained his buy rating on the stock.
