It&#8217;s a hardware component that goes inside each chip, similar to the SD cards used in advanced cameras. The growth stock is already up 47% year to date and 320% over the past year, driven by high demand from AI chipmakers serving hyperscalers.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Micron Technology 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\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1771570995_985_.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Change<\/p>\n<p>(-0.85%) $-3.60<\/p>\n<p>Current Price<\/p>\n<p>$417.35<\/p>\n<p>Key Data Points<\/p>\n<p>Market Cap<\/p>\n<p>$470B<\/p>\n<p>Day&#8217;s Range<\/p>\n<p>$407.74 &#8211; $420.31<\/p>\n<p>52wk Range<\/p>\n<p>$61.54 &#8211; $455.50<\/p>\n<p>Volume<\/p>\n<p>22M<\/p>\n<p>Avg Vol<\/p>\n<p>33M<\/p>\n<p>Gross Margin<\/p>\n<p>45.53%<\/p>\n<p>Dividend Yield<\/p>\n<p>0.11%<\/p>\n<p>Those gains come as Micron&#8217;s business continues to gain ground and investors realize that the stock has a ridiculously cheap <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/f\/forward-pe\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">forward P\/E ratio<\/a> compared to its peers. A 57% revenue growth rate and profits nearly tripling in one year were the key highlights from Micron&#8217;s Q1 FY26 report. That report also provided optimistic guidance, implying Micron will set new sales and profitability records in Q2 FY26. <\/p>\n<p>Micron trades at a forward P\/E ratio of 13, well below those of high-growth <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\">AI stocks<\/a>. That valuation gives the company plenty of room to expand, and high financial growth rates will add another catalyst that can help the stock reach new highs. <\/p>\n<p>The memory storage market has a tremendous runway. Grandview Research anticipates a 28.6% compound annual growth rate through 2033. Micron has recognized the opportunity and is shifting away from its consumer segment to prioritize higher-growth and higher-margin AI infrastructure opportunities. <\/p>\n<p>Amazon is a promising AI stock that hasn&#8217;t received much love lately<\/p>\n<p>Amazon (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/amzn\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AMZN<\/a> +0.04%) has been in a bit of a rut, down by 10% over the past year. Its 25% return over the past five years trails the S&amp;P 500 and most benchmarks. The shocking turn of events for what was once a top-performing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/types-of-stocks\/growth-stocks\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">growth stock<\/a> is hard to believe, especially if you look at its financial performance.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Amazon 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\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1771570995_413_.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Change<\/p>\n<p>(0.04%) $0.08<\/p>\n<p>Current Price<\/p>\n<p>$204.87<\/p>\n<p>Key Data Points<\/p>\n<p>Market Cap<\/p>\n<p>$2.2T<\/p>\n<p>Day&#8217;s Range<\/p>\n<p>$202.83 &#8211; $205.64<\/p>\n<p>52wk Range<\/p>\n<p>$161.38 &#8211; $258.60<\/p>\n<p>Volume<\/p>\n<p>1.4M<\/p>\n<p>Avg Vol<\/p>\n<p>47M<\/p>\n<p>Gross Margin<\/p>\n<p>50.29%<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/research\/largest-tech-companies\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tech giant<\/a> hasn&#8217;t been losing revenue. In fact, its total sales and profits have continued to grow across multiple segments. Even Q4 2025 brought great results, with net sales up by 14% year over year.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon Web Services sales continued to accelerate to levels the company hasn&#8217;t seen since 2022, and its highly profitable online advertising segment was up by 22% year over year. Net income is also up year over year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These aren&#8217;t the results you would expect from a company that has barely exceeded a 20% return over the past five years. The only issue is that Amazon&#8217;s significant AI investments can hurt profit margins in the short run, but these investments have already translated into higher revenue growth rates.<\/p>\n<p>All this confusion has resulted in a 28 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/p\/pe-ratio\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">P\/E ratio<\/a>, well below Amazon&#8217;s historical average. The company&#8217;s P\/E ratio typically hovers in the high 30s to low 50s, and just a few years ago, Amazon traded at a P\/E above 100. <\/p>\n<p>If Amazon continues to deliver strong results, it&#8217;s only a matter of time before the rest of the market notices.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft is in a deep correction despite strong financials<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/msft\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MSFT<\/a> 0.09%) is in the same boat as Amazon. It delivered strong results in its Q2 FY26, with revenue up by 17% year over year. The company&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/market-sectors\/information-technology\/cloud-stocks\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">cloud computing<\/a> segment excelled as more companies turn to cloud storage to fuel their AI ambitions. <\/p>\n<p>The tech leader is well diversified in cloud computing, PCs, video games, social media, online advertising, and other industries. Net income also surged by 60% year over year, resulting in a 47.3% net profit margin.<\/p>\n<p>That hasn&#8217;t been enough for the stock market. Shares are down 17% year to date and remain 25% below all-time highs. Microsoft surpassed a $4 trillion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/m\/market-cap\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">market cap<\/a> in July 2025 and recently fell below a $3 trillion market cap.<\/p>\n<p>Investors should remain patient with Microsoft stock, as the underlying business continues to perform well. The stock now trades at a 26 P\/E ratio despite a long history of a P\/E ratio in the 30s. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"These artificial intelligence (AI) stocks show promising upside for long-term investors.
