The recent pullback in the stock market may have some investors on edge. The stocks selling off the most over the last couple of weeks are the same ones that led the stock market higher over the previous two years: artificial intelligence stocks. Several factors have led to the recent dip in the biggest AI stocks , including advances by China's DeepSeek AI and growing economic uncertainty.

The tech sector has been getting hammered so far this year, down 10.5% at the time of this writing, which is slightly worse than the Nasdaq Composite. The Nasdaq is in a correction -- down over 13% from its all-time high at the time of this writing. Semiconductor stocks like Nvidia and Broadcom are down even further. ASML (NASDAQ: ASML) , which makes the world's most advanced extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines, is getting dragged down with the broader sell-off even though the company
Last Monday night, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang gave the opening keynote speech to kick off CES 2025, which ran until Friday in Las Vegas. Nvidia is the leader in providing chips -- primarily graphics processing units (GPUs) -- and related technology to enable artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. So, Huang naturally spent much of his approximately 1.5-hour presentation on the topic of AI.
Stocks have been all over the map lately. Some investors are doubling down on their winners while others are taking gains earned over the past few years and trimming positions. No matter your perspective on the market right now, there are still red-hot opportunities. Artificial intelligence is one of the biggest, and two companies are leading the pack: Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA).

Welcome to the Sportradar fourth quarter 2024 earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode.
2025 has been a difficult year for artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor stocks so far, as the sector has been hit hard by a spate of negative news that has led investors to overlook the strong results that companies in this sector have been delivering. Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) , however, managed to buck that trend by handsomely crushing Wall Street's expectations and delivering solid guidance when it released its fiscal 2025 first-quarter results (for the quarter ended Feb. 2) on March 6.
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has been the first big usage of AI. However, the next major wave may be agentic AI. Generative AI uses generative software models to create text, image, video, or audio content in response to a user prompt. An example would be asking ChatGPT a question and getting a text response. With agentic AI, meanwhile, automated AI agents will go out and complete assigned tasks autonomously without constant human supervision.
Warren Buffett is one of the most closely followed investors in the world. Six decades ago, his fledgling fund acquired the struggling textile maker Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B). Buffett subsequently shut down Berkshire's textile business and transformed it into a diversified conglomerate with subsidiaries across the insurance, railroad, energy, and consumer staples sectors.
Warren Buffett has an unrivaled track record of creating piles of money. From 1965 through 2023, Buffett's knack for spotting value that Wall Street overlooks has grown the value of Berkshire Hathaway stock by 4,384,748%. Thanks to Form 13F filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, investors can follow along with every stock Buffett buys (and sells) on behalf of Berkshire Hathaway.
It's tempting to try and pick stocks that you think might double or triple in value in a year or two. However, the best gains often come over the long term, and sometimes they can come in unexpected ways. That's why investing in multiple stocks can be an effective strategy because it's almost impossible to predict where a business might end up in the long run.
It's been a while since data center equipment company Vertiv 's (NYSE: VRT) stock looked like a great value, but that time has come around again. The ongoing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) applications creates unprecedented data growth, which only means more investment in data centers. The good news is that the broad-based sell-off in the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) and some near-term negative news have brought stocks like Vertiv back into value range, and now could be a great
Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR) was one of the best-performing stocks of 2024. The analytics and software management platform for government agencies, the military, and big business soared 340% for the year and sports a market cap of $167 billion as of this writing. Shareholders of Palantir no doubt appreciated the company's performance in 2024, but investors are likely looking at the new year and asking themselves: Can Palantir keep up this momentum?
Creating a well-diversified portfolio through individual stock selection requires extensive research, constant monitoring, and significant time commitment. Many investors find themselves overwhelmed by the complexity of analyzing financial statements, understanding competitive advantages, and staying current with market developments. Low-cost exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offer a simpler path to diversification and staying invested for the long term.
Warren Buffett is one of the best investors of all time. But he's not traditionally known for investing in technology businesses. That's changed in recent years, however, and today some of his biggest positions are technology companies. In fact, he's currently betting billions of dollars on a particular artificial intelligence stock that looks like a screaming buy for investors bullish on artificial intelligence (AI).
Space launch provider Rocket Lab USA (NASDAQ:RKLB) reported mixed fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday, Feb. 27. Revenue in Q4 was notably higher at $132.4 million, topping analysts' consensus projections of $130 million and rising 121% year over year. Adjusted EPS in Q4 was in line with estimates, presenting a loss of $0.10 per share. Overall, the quarter showed mixed results with strong revenue growth but enduring challenges in cost management.
Dan Ives is one of the most closely followed personalities on Wall Street. Ives leads global technology research for Wedbush Securities, and can often be found touting bullish narratives and forecasts about artificial intelligence (AI) on financial media outlets such as CNBC or Bloomberg. In late December, Ives took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to highlight his top 10 AI picks for 2025.
The cloud computing industry is dominated by trillion-dollar giants like Amazon , Microsoft , and Alphabet. Those companies also took the lead in the fast-growing market for artificial intelligence (AI) cloud services, renting state-of-the-art data center infrastructure to businesses who use it to develop and deploy AI software. DigitalOcean (NYSE: DOCN) is also a cloud provider, except it specifically targets small and mid-sized businesses who need specialized and cost-efficient services that t
One area where Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) has seriously dropped the ball has been artificial intelligence (AI). Nvidia essentially owns the market for AI accelerator chips, and AMD is at least competitive with its Instinct line of data center graphics processing units (GPUs). Nvidia is generating tens of billions of dollars in revenue each quarter from its data center GPUs, and AMD is producing a few billion per year.
It hasn't been a great start to the year for Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN) stock. Shares are down 16% year to date as investors' faith in the electric vehicle (EV) growth story dwindles. The company itself is still in its early stages when expenses remain high and earning a profit is still relatively far out. One would think some of those investors would instead seek a profitable EV maker like Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA).
Sometimes the next great stock idea is pretty hard to find. That's why well-known investor Peter Lynch famously said that the "best stock to buy is the one you already own." With that advice in mind, right now is a great time to consider adding to your positions in Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) , NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) , and Vici Properties (NYSE: VICI).
Shares of Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) are off to a fantastic start in 2025, already rising by 13% year to date. The medical devices giant had some weakness in recent years amid disappointing trends from its diabetes segment, but it appears to have finally turned the corner with its increasingly diversified operating profile. Medtronic is capturing demand for its cutting-edge solutions, as recent product launches emerge to drive new growth.
A lot of us start off the new year eager to tackle different financial resolutions -- paying down debt, increasing savings, and kicking expensive habits. But the start of a new year is also a great time to focus on Social Security. Now you may be thinking, "But wait a minute -- I'm nowhere close to being ready to retire. Why do I need to even think about Social Security, much less spend time focusing on it?
For many, or most, of us, it's smart to aim for average returns, because they're rather powerful and they can be simple to achieve -- by socking money away in one or more low-fee, broad-market index funds such as one that tracks the S&P 500. If you're looking for above -average returns, you might want to devote a portion of your portfolio to growth stocks.
OpenAI has added Adebayo Ogunlesi, CEO of Global Infrastructure Partners, to its board. Ogunlesi will help the company secure the infrastructure needed to advance artificial intelligence development. GIP, a private equity firm managing over $100bn in assets, owns stakes in Gatwick Airport and offshore wind projects. AI requires large-scale computational infrastructure like specialised data centres.
Though Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been a top performer in the stock market in the past couple of years, shares of the semiconductor giant have lost momentum since the release of its fiscal 2025 third-quarter results in November last year. Investors were not impressed by Nvidia's quarterly performance and outlook even though it handily beat Wall Street's expectations thanks to the booming demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) chips.
It's tough to go against the crowd. It takes the courage in your convictions when everyone else is going in a different direction. That's especially true when it comes to investments since you'll have your hard-earned money on the line. However, if you do your homework, bucking the investment trend can prove profitable. Where to invest $1,000 right now?
E-commerce specialist dLocal (NASDAQ: DLO) has a clear mission, and that is to "enable global merchants to connect seamlessly with billions of emerging market users." The Uruguay-based company connects merchants to more than 2 billion people in 40 countries (and counting) through more than 900 different local payment methods. As a result, it is becoming a must-have for enterprises looking to grow in emerging markets.
Investors scored big wins last year as the S&P 500 , the Nasdaq , and the Dow Jones Industrial Average all climbed by double digits. Investor enthusiasm about technology and growth stocks, and the economic environment ahead, drove the momentum. Right now, it's too early to predict with 100% certainty whether the indexes will deliver yet another annual gain, but there are reasons to be optimistic about the possibility.
Those born in 1963 will reach an important Social Security milestone this year: They'll turn 62 and become eligible to claim benefits after paying into the program their entire career. It's tempting to apply right away so you can enjoy the extra income, but that might not be the best move for you financially. Waiting to apply will often increase how much Social Security you collect over your lifetime.
Even well-run companies face hard times now and again. In fact, it is the ability to survive the hard times that makes a company well run in the first place. Wall Street, however, tends to always react to hard times in the same way, by selling the company facing them. That can open up opportunities that turn into the best investments, with some situations being rare, once-in-a-decade chances to buy a great stock.
Plenty of technology companies saw solid growth in the past couple of years. Catalysts like strong spending on cloud infrastructure and services related to the growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) played a part, and there is a good chance that the trend will continue in 2025. Global information technology (IT) spending is forecast to increase by 9.3% in 2025 (to $5.74 trillion) as compared to 2024's estimated increase of 7.2%, according to Gartner.
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) , also known as AMD, has been a surprisingly underperforming tech stock over the past year. In 2024, it declined by 18% even despite its promising growth opportunities as a top artificial intelligence (AI) chip maker. Over the past five years, the stock has achieved gains of around 140%, and it has typically been a market-beating investment.
The AI revolution may still be in its early innings as tech giants and start-ups invest mountains of cash into AI infrastructure. Microsoft is reportedly set to spend an incredible $80 billion on AI data centers this year, a strong sign that heavy spending on AI is going to continue in the foreseeable future. While betting on the big AI players might make sense, some smaller companies are worth considering.
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has taken Wall Street by storm since the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT in 2022. However, more than two years on, this hype cycle is getting long in the tooth. Let's discuss why Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) , Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) , and Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) could face downside risk as AI excitement potentially fades in 2025 and beyond. 1.
