These three companies stand ready to deliver it.<\/p>\n<p>Are you looking to turn a modest amount of money into a seven-figure sum in a relatively short period of time? Most get-rich-quick ideas end up being a bust. There are some names, however, that should be capable of beating the broad market&#8217;s performance well enough to do so, if you can give them enough time &#8212; like 10 years. Here&#8217;s a closer look at three such prospects.<\/p>\n<p>1. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to a common assumption, chipmakers like Nvidia, Intel, and Qualcomm don&#8217;t actually make their own silicon. Although Intel is making some problem-plagued efforts to establish its own foundries, by and large most of these companies recognize that it&#8217;s actually cheaper &#8212; and far easier &#8212; to punt this work to a third-party manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"A person sleeps while surrounded by cash bundles.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"880\" height=\"528\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"h-auto max-w-full rounded object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1771979897_565_.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Image source: Getty Images.<\/p>\n<p>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nyse\/tsm\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TSM<\/a> +4.24%) is one of these manufacturers. It&#8217;s also the biggest, particularly for the high-performance microchips required by computers, artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, and smartphones. All told, it did $112 billion worth of business last year, up nearly 32% from 2024&#8217;s top line. Analysts are looking for sales growth of more than 30% this year, and nearly 24% next year, as the number of AI data centers continues to explode.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Stock Quote\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"w-full flex-none object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1771979898_281_.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Change<\/p>\n<p>(4.24%) $15.68<\/p>\n<p>Current Price<\/p>\n<p>$385.72<\/p>\n<p>Key Data Points<\/p>\n<p>Market Cap<\/p>\n<p>$1.9T<\/p>\n<p>Day&#8217;s Range<\/p>\n<p>$376.05 &#8211; $389.18<\/p>\n<p>52wk Range<\/p>\n<p>$134.25 &#8211; $389.18<\/p>\n<p>Volume<\/p>\n<p>598K<\/p>\n<p>Avg Vol<\/p>\n<p>13M<\/p>\n<p>Gross Margin<\/p>\n<p>59.02%<\/p>\n<p>Dividend Yield<\/p>\n<p>0.83%<\/p>\n<p>Not every year will be so good; the chip industry is at least occasionally somewhat cyclical, too.<\/p>\n<p>With what&#8217;s effectively a near-monopoly on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/market-sectors\/information-technology\/semiconductor-stocks\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">semiconductor manufacturing business<\/a>, TSMC is certain to enjoy more good years than bad.<\/p>\n<p>2. ServiceNow<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a rough past few weeks for most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/market-sectors\/information-technology\/ai-stocks\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">artificial intelligence stocks<\/a>. ServiceNow (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nyse\/now\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NOW<\/a> +1.65%) is no exception. Shares of this workflow automation platform provider have been nearly halved just since the middle of last year, despite analysts&#8217; expectations for revenue growth of 21% this year and more than 18% next year. Being in the AI business is just a huge liability at this time.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s largely underappreciated about ServiceNow, however, is that it was a successful digital\/automated workflow service provider well before AI revolution heated up. And, given the practical, user-friendly nature and proven marketability of its offerings, it&#8217;s unlikely that any sweeping rethink of all the money currently being spent on AI now will actually disrupt ServiceNow&#8217;s business growth.<\/p>\n<p>3. BYD<\/p>\n<p>Finally, anyone keeping close tabs on China&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/market-sectors\/consumer-discretionary\/automotive-stocks\/electric-car-stocks\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">electric vehicle<\/a> powerhouse BYD Company (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/otc\/byddy\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BYDDY<\/a> +1.11%) likely knows it continues to lose market share in its home market, slipping to 16% last month versus 27% at this point a year earlier.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"BYD Company Stock Quote\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"w-full flex-none object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1771979898_41_.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Change<\/p>\n<p>(1.11%) $0.14<\/p>\n<p>Current Price<\/p>\n<p>$12.76<\/p>\n<p>Key Data Points<\/p>\n<p>Market Cap<\/p>\n<p>$139B<\/p>\n<p>Day&#8217;s Range<\/p>\n<p>$12.62 &#8211; $12.81<\/p>\n<p>52wk Range<\/p>\n<p>$11.20 &#8211; $20.05<\/p>\n<p>Volume<\/p>\n<p>1.1M<\/p>\n<p>Avg Vol<\/p>\n<p>1.7M<\/p>\n<p>Gross Margin<\/p>\n<p>23.15%<\/p>\n<p>Dividend Yield<\/p>\n<p>1.46%<\/p>\n<p>BYD isn&#8217;t strictly focused on China anymore, though. It delivered a total of 187,657 EVs to a very receptive Europe last year, up more than 268% from 2024&#8217;s count. Look for impressive numbers here going forward, too.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s still not a core component of the bullish argument here, however. BYD stock is a buy predominantly because it&#8217;s already the world&#8217;s second-biggest manufacturer of the lithium batteries used in electric vehicles. It&#8217;s making great strides (like solid-state batteries and lithium iron phosphate &#8220;blade&#8221; batteries) that should keep it competitive in an EV battery market that Precedence Research expects to grow at an average annualized pace of 26% through 2034.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/author\/4549\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">James Brumley<\/a> has no position in any of the stocks mentioned.
