Five of the Top AI Stocks That Will Help Lead the Bull Market in Tech

February 01, 2024 - Baystreet.ca


Demand for artificial intelligence is booming. In fact, all we have to do is look at some of the top company earnings for proof. Super Micro, a data center hardware maker saw an earnings boost thanks to robust demand for AI chips and hardware. Not only did Super Micro trounce expectations with EPS of $5.59 a share on revenue of $3.55 billion, it raised guidance. Again, all thanks to the AI boom. Even IBM just said accelerating AI demand powered the tech stock even higher. “Client demand for AI is accelerating and our book of business for WatsonX and generative AI roughly doubled from the third to the fourth quarter,” Chief Executive Arvind Krishna added. With AI demand unlikely to slow, AI could have another prolific year ahead.

Other companies benefiting from the AI boom include VERSES AI Inc. (NEO: VERS) (OTCQB: VRSSF), which just joined industry and world leaders at the 2024 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, for discussions on the Future of AI and Computing, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META), and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD).

Even more exciting, according to Next Move Strategy Consulting, the AI market – currently valued at about $100 billion – could grow twenty-fold by 2030 to more than $2 trillion. Even Goldman Sachs says generative AI could drive a 7% (or almost $7 trillion) increase in global GDP and lift productivity growth by 1.5 percentage points over a 10-year period.
