The artificial intelligence boom shows no signs of cooling.
Instead, it’s still heating up – with companies spending billions in capex on AI opportunities.
In fact, Alphabet just announced it will boost its capital-expenditure forecast for the year to $85 billion from $75 billion.
Even better, Meta, Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft intend to spend about $320 billion on AI technologies and data centers this year, as compared to the $230 billion capex in 2024. Plus, a noted by UBS, AI capex is expected to explode even higher, potentially reaching hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
That being said, here are just a few hot stocks to consider.
C3.AI (AI)
Specializing in enterprise AI, C3.AI has been pushing aggressively higher since bottoming out at around $18 in April. Now at $22.66, we’d like to see it test $30 shortly.
Fueling upside, C3.ai earnings have been impressive.
In its fourth quarter, its EPS loss of 16 cents per share beat by four cents. Revenue of $108.72 million, up 25.5% year over year, beat by $1.02 million. The company also extended its Baker Hughes partnership through 2028, referring to it as a “substantial tailwind” with over $500 million in revenue being generated.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)
AMD continues to be a standout stock for the AI boom.
Since April, AMD ran from a low of about $80 to a recent high of about $180. All as it challenges Nvidia for chip dominance. Helping, the company is exposed to a multi-billion-dollar addressable market for data center AI chips. In fact, according to company Chair and CEO Lisa Su, that addressable market for AI chips will reach $500 billion by 2028, which is up from her prior estimate for $400 billion by the time 2027 rolls around.
Leverage is the feature attraction of futures for traders, but in some respects leverage is even greater for the purchaser of options. You can often buy an out-of-the-money option for only a few hundred dollars because you are paying for only the time value left until expiration. Your only outlay is the cost of the premium (plus brokerage commissions of course); you do not have to commit any funds to margin money nor worry about margin calls.
Then, if something happens that causes the price of the underlying instrument to surge higher (in the case of a call) or collapse (in the case of a put) beyond what the market expected, the price of the option may increase by 10 or 20 times your purchase price to produce some spectacular returns. However, this is not the type of trading strategy on which you should count on unless you have unusual insights into market events that are not known to most traders.
Even in more normal circumstances, leverage can work to your advantage as an option buyer because your risk is limited while your profit potential is unlimited. If you pay 6 for a Microsoft March 30 call option with the stock at 25 and with two months until expiration, for example, it means you are controlling $2,500 worth of stock for only $600 instead of paying at least $1,250 (at the minimum 50% margin required) for the same stock. Yes, you only control the stock for a relatively short period, but a strong increase in the price of Microsoft, or in volatility, or both during that period could be very rewarding for the amount of money you had to commit.
After the Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) Report came in lower than expected on Friday, August 1, President Trump was so furious he fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner.
Who is he going to fire this week if this week’s Bureau of Labor Statistics Inflation Reports come in worse than he’s anticipating?
Tuesday an hour before the Market Opens the Bureau of Labor Statistics will release their monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI). Two days later on Thursday, an hour before the Market Opens, they’ll release their monthly Producer Price Index (PPI).
Understand, no matter where these reports land, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) is set to lower Short-Term Interest Rates at their September 17 FOMC Meeting. But will these Reports show numbers which causes the Fed to lower rates even further than the market is now anticipating?
