Prediction: These 3 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks Will Be the Top Performers to End 2026
- NVDA
- MU
- AVGO
Although it’s hard to say, 2026 is well over halfway done, and we’ve arrived at the back third of the year. While some investors may be thinking about 2027, there are still plenty of screaming bargains available in 2026. Three that I’ve got my eyes on are Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), and Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU).
Each of these companies projects monster growth in 2027, yet they look underpriced in 2026. The time to buy these stocks is now, and investors should pounce on the current opportunity.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a “Double Down” signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same “Total Conviction” signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Nvidia
Nvidia has been a market-leading stock since the AI arms race kicked off in 2023. It still hasn’t relinquished that title, and as long as there is heavy spending on AI computing equipment in data centers, Nvidia will be a must-own stock. It backed up this status by guiding for 70% revenue growth next year — an impressive figure considering how large Nvidia is.
With the AI build-out expected to last until at least 2030, Nvidia is well positioned to make a multiyear run as one of the best investments in the market. Despite its high-profile status, the stock is actually priced pretty cheaply. It trades for less than 15 times next year’s earnings, which is a dirt cheap stock price to pay.
Nvidia has a ton of upside ahead, and if it can continue growing beyond 2027, the returns on the stock will be incredible.
Broadcom
One of Nvidia’s rising competitors is Broadcom. Nvidia has a strong grip on the GPU market, and any new entrant will have a tough road ahead. Broadcom may be competing with Nvidia, but it isn’t trying to launch the same product. Instead, it’s partnering directly with AI hyperscalers to develop custom AI chips, purpose-built for the end workloads they will see.
This results in a unit that offers better performance at a lower cost than Nvidia’s GPUs, but with limited applications. Custom AI chips are becoming increasingly popular among AI hyperscalers, and with Broadcom scaling production for its major clients (like Alphabet, OpenAI, and Anthropic), it’s well-positioned to deliver high growth.
Similar to Nvidia, Broadcom has offered multi-year projections, including AI semiconductor revenue doubling in 2027 and again in 2028. Also similar to Nvidia, when valued using next year’s earnings, Broadcom’s stock looks pretty cheap.
