The idea of becoming a multimillionaire can be daunting, but it certainly can be done if you have the patience and discipline to ride the market for a long time. The power of compounding returns, combined with consistently adding to your portfolio, makes such a windfall possible.<\/p>\n

The S&P 500 delivered a 13.5% annualized return over the last decade — a strong number that was pulled higher in recent years by artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. And while the sector is in a bit of a lull now, the build-out of data centers, AI-powered software, and robotics makes artificial intelligence a fantastic bet right now.<\/p>\n

If you want to do better than the S&P 500’s returns, several AI stocks<\/a> fit the bill. These two in particular are on different paths, but I think both provide excellent opportunities to push your investment portfolio to that multimillion-dollar level.<\/p>\n

1. Oracle<\/p>\n

Oracle (ORCL<\/a> 3.44%) has its biggest growth opportunity in its cloud computing segment, which generated $7.977 billion in revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 (ending Nov. 30, 2025), up 34% from a year ago. That makes the cloud computing sector Oracle’s biggest driver of revenue and was a big reason the company’s $16.058 billion in revenue was up 14% year over year. <\/p>\n

Management sees the massive opportunity in AI right now, so the company is spending heavily. Oracle raised $58 billion to pay for data center projects in New Mexico, Texas, and Wisconsin, and it has a huge $300 billion deal with OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, to supply AI infrastructure and cloud computing services. <\/p>\n

All of that spending has pushed Oracle’s debt to more than $100 billion — a load that’s contributed to the stock’s drop in recent months. Management announced that it plans to raise $45 billion to $50 billion of gross cash proceeds — by selling shares and equity-linked instruments, as well as by issuing mandatory convertible preferred securities that will convert to common stock in the future. <\/p>\n

Considering that Oracle is raising the money to meet the needs of many well-heeled customers, including Advanced Micro Devices, Nvidia, and Meta Platforms, analysts remain bullish about the company’s future. The consensus price target from analysts surveyed by Yahoo! Finance indicates an 82% potential gain in Oracle stock<\/a>. <\/p>\n

2. Tesla<\/p>\n

Tesla (TSLA<\/a> 1.49%) has been an innovator for years with its electric vehicles, but today I’m much more intrigued by CEO Elon Musk’s plan for the Optimus robot — its humanoid machine, already working in Tesla factories, which Musk says will one day help “eliminate poverty” by being mass-marketed for factories and residences.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Musk hopes the Optimus robot will be on sale — with a projected price of $20,000 to $30,000 — by the end of next year, but production is already underway. Musk announced plans to end production of the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y at the company’s Fremont, California, production facility, and instead use the space for Optimus production.<\/p>\n

Tesla stock<\/a> has plenty of supporters — one of the biggest is Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, who has a $600 price target. That would be a 48% gain, soundly beating the overall market and helping push your portfolio higher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The idea of becoming a multimillionaire can be daunting, but it certainly can be done if you have…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":309097,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[365,363,364,111,139,69,145],"class_list":{"0":"post-309096","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-new-zealand","12":"tag-newzealand","13":"tag-nz","14":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=309096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309096\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/309097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=309096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=309096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
