Nvidia    <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">All three of these stocks have one thing in common &#8212; they are trading at a significant discount.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/how-to-invest\/stocks\/nvidia-stock-forecast\/?utm_source=yahoo-host-full&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=article&amp;referring_guid=9cbc6c98-1aee-4fbe-9dc9-5b713afa96c7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Nvidia stock;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Nvidia stock&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Nvidia stock<\/a> is trading at just 23 times forward earnings, down from 40 this time a year ago. Its long-term valuation is even more attractive as it has a five-year price\/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio of just 0.63. A PEG ratio below 1 means that the stock is undervalued relative to its long-term earnings expectations &#8212; and the lower the PEG ratio, the cheaper it is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">This alone signals that Nvidia is in the buy zone, given its huge earnings power. In the latest quarter, revenue jumped 20% sequentially and 85% year over year while earnings surged 214% year over year. For the current quarter, Nvidia anticipates revenue of $91 billion, an 11% increase over last quarter, and a gross margin of 74.9%, down slightly from 75% last quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Looking out, this fiscal year analysts anticipate 88% earnings growth for Nvidia to $8.96 per share. For the next fiscal year, its fiscal 2028, Wall Street expects 42% earnings growth for Nvidia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Analysts have a median price target of $300 per share for Nvidia, which suggests a 44% return over the next 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>      2. Microsoft    <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Microsoft stock has not had a great year, down 21% year to date. Microsoft&#8217;s share price decline is due to various factors, including its formerly high valuation, concerns about overspending on artificial intelligence (AI), worries related to its partner OpenAI&#8217;s profitability, slightly slowing AI cloud growth, and other issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">But most of these are short-term concerns. In the latest quarter, Microsoft&#8217;s results alleviated some of those issues as it had blowout earnings that topped estimates. More importantly, its cloud revenue surged 29% year over year while its Azure AI cloud sales rose 40%. Also, it restructured its deal with OpenAI so it is no longer an exclusive provider and no longer pays revenue share to OpenAI.<\/p>\n<p>    Story Continues  <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">In addition, Microsoft anticipates double-digit revenue growth this fiscal year, including 5% sequential sales growth in the current quarter. Furthermore, Azure sales are anticipated to rise 40% year over year in the current quarter and accelerate in the second half of calendar year 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">The kicker is Microsoft&#8217;s dirt cheap valuation. It is trading at around 19 times forward earnings, which is near the lowest it has been in the last 10 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">This makes Microsoft stock a no-brainer buy right now.<\/p>\n<p>     3. Meta Platforms   <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Meta has had its share of issues as of late, with shares sinking due to a recent report in the Financial Times that it was raising money for AI spending &#8212; which Meta officials called &#8220;pure speculation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Meta stock also tanked some 5% recently when it was learned that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/2026\/06\/17\/why-meta-platforms-stock-plummeted-by-over-5-on-we\/?utm_source=yahoo-host-full&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=article&amp;referring_guid=9cbc6c98-1aee-4fbe-9dc9-5b713afa96c7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:one of its top executives in charge of AI implementation;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;one of its top executives in charge of AI implementation&quot;}\" class=\"link \">one of its top executives in charge of AI implementation<\/a> was leaving the company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Overall, Meta stock is down 13% year to date, but like Nvidia and Microsoft, it is extremely cheap. Meta stock is trading at just 18 times forward earnings and has a PEG ratio of 0.82.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">This is an incredibly cheap valuation for one of the largest, most successful companies in the world. In the latest earnings report, it grew revenue 33% and earnings 62%. Furthermore, it expects 7% sequential revenue growth in the current quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Expenses are worth watching, as Meta guides for a 41% increase in spending to about $165.5 billion at the midpoint of its range for this fiscal year. It also raised its capital expenditures range to $125 billion to $145 billion, up from $115 billion to $135 billion, to fund its AI data centers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">But Meta&#8217;s low valuation just makes it too cheap to pass up. Analysts have a median price target of $808 per share, which suggests 43% upside (at the time of this writing). Like the others, its a screaming buy.<\/p>\n<p>     Should you buy stock in Nvidia right now?   <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Before you buy stock in\u00a0Nvidia, consider this:<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">The Motley Fool\u00a0Stock Advisor\u00a0analyst team just identified what they believe are the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/api.fool.com\/infotron\/infotrack\/click?apikey=35527423-a535-4519-a07f-20014582e03e&amp;impression=c8eab939-ccb8-4dce-86e1-2b22fc21afd7&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fool.com%2Fmms%2Fmark%2Fe-sa-bbn-bn%3Faid%3D8867%26source%3Disaeditxt0001213%26ftm_cam%3Dsa-bbn-evergreen%26ftm_veh%3Darticle_pitch_feed_yahoo%26ftm_pit%3D19383&amp;utm_source=yahoo-host-full&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=article&amp;referring_guid=9cbc6c98-1aee-4fbe-9dc9-5b713afa96c7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:10 best stocks;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;10 best stocks&quot;}\" class=\"link \">10 best stocks<\/a>\u00a0for investors to buy now\u2026 and\u00a0Nvidia\u00a0wasn\u2019t one of them.\u00a0The 10 stocks that made the cut are built for long-term growth and could produce monster returns in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Consider when\u00a0Netflix\u00a0made this list on December 17, 2004&#8230; if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation,\u00a0you\u2019d have $417,305!*\u00a0Or\u00a0when\u00a0Nvidia\u00a0made this list on April 15, 2005&#8230; if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation,\u00a0you\u2019d have $1,293,148!*<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">That performance is why people listen.
