These are companies that are growing at an incredible pace, and are likely slated to do so as the AI build-out continues to pick up steam throughout the rest of 2026 and heading to 2027.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Three that I think are impressive are Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Nebius (NASDAQ: NBIS), and Sandisk (NASDAQ: SNDK). All three of these stocks look like great buys now. Here&#8217;s why.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again.\u00a0In 2009, a &#8220;Double Down&#8221; signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia.\u00a0For the first time in years, that same &#8220;Total Conviction&#8221; signal is flashing for a company 1\/100th the size of Nvidia.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/api.fool.com\/infotron\/infotrack\/click?apikey=35527423-a535-4519-a07f-20014582e03e&amp;impression=a9686b6a-1e27-468f-8edc-e5d767fc22cc&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fool.com%2Fmms%2Fmark%2Fa-sa-dd-total-conviction%3Faid%3D11123%26source%3Disaediica0000074%26ftm_cam%3Dsa-dd-4%26ftm_veh%3Dtop_incontent_pitch_feed_yahoo%26ftm_pit%3D19375&amp;utm_source=yahoo-host-full&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=article&amp;referring_guid=aafafd41-ca7c-4070-80b1-70c9993f4723\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Continue \u00bb;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;Continue \u00bb&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Continue \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>    <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/c5d9b8e486922e64a95c3d5bd1064f91.jpeg\" alt=\"Investor analyzing stocks.\" loading=\"eager\" height=\"638\" width=\"960\" class=\"yf-lglytj  loaded\"\/> Image source: Getty Images.         Nvidia    <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Nvidia is the world&#8217;s largest company by market capitalization and has become synonymous with the AI build-out. Its GPUs have become the base computing unit that all products are compared against, and it has dominated the market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">This position has given Nvidia valuable insights into upcoming AI demand, and it projects that global annual data center capital expenditures in the 2030s will be between $3 trillion and $4 trillion. That&#8217;s a major rise from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/research\/ai-companies-spending-on-data-centers\/?utm_source=yahoo-host-full&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=article&amp;referring_guid=aafafd41-ca7c-4070-80b1-70c9993f4723\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:today&#039;s $650 billion from the big four AI hyperscalers;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;today&#039;&quot;}\" class=\"link \">today&#8217;s $650 billion from the big four AI hyperscalers<\/a>, and will easily lead to huge shareholder returns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Despite its size, Nvidia just delivered an incredible 85% year-over-year growth rate in its last quarter, and Wall Street analysts expect another strong 96% growth rate in the next quarter. For a company of Nvidia&#8217;s size to be growing that fast is remarkable, but perhaps the biggest cherry on top is that the market no longer values Nvidia&#8217;s stock at a premium.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Nvidia trades for a mere 23.5 times forward earnings, which isn&#8217;t all that expensive compared to the broader market.<\/p>\n<p>    <a href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\/companies\/NVDA\/chart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" alt=\"NVDA PE Ratio (Forward) Chart\" loading=\"lazy\" height=\"441\" width=\"720\" class=\"yf-lglytj loader\"\/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\/companies\/NVDA\/forward_pe_ratio\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:NVDA PE Ratio (Forward);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;NVDA PE Ratio (Forward)&quot;}\" class=\"link \">NVDA PE Ratio (Forward)<\/a> data by <a href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:YCharts;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;YCharts&quot;}\" class=\"link \">YCharts<\/a>      <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">With Nvidia barely more expensive than the S&amp;P 500\u00a0at 22 times forward earnings, I think now is an excellent time to buy the stock and hold it throughout the remaining AI build-out.<\/p>\n<p>      Nebius    <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">If you thought Nvidia&#8217;s growth was fast, just wait until you see Nebius&#8217; growth rate. In Q1, its revenue increased at a 684% clip. That&#8217;s not a typo or a one-time benefit caused by an acquisition; that&#8217;s real growth stemming from its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/market-sectors\/information-technology\/cloud-stocks\/?utm_source=yahoo-host-full&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=article&amp;referring_guid=aafafd41-ca7c-4070-80b1-70c9993f4723\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:AI-centric cloud computing platform.;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;AI-centric cloud computing platform.&quot;}\" class=\"link \">AI-centric cloud computing platform. <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">In fact, Nvidia likes Nebius&#8217; product so much that it has chosen to invest in the company. That&#8217;s a huge vote of confidence for Nebius stock and further amplifies its investment thesis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Nebius isn&#8217;t just satisfied with the growth it&#8217;s delivering now. It projects huge growth throughout the remainder of 2026, with 2027 also being a huge growth year. Wall Street analysts back up this projection and estimate that Nebius will grow at a 550% rate in 2026 and a 225% clip in 2027. There are a few stocks that can deliver that level of growth that quickly, making Nebius a strong investment pick.<\/p>\n<p>    Story Continues  <\/p>\n<p>      Sandisk   <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Lastly is Sandisk. It has had an incredible past year, with the stock rising nearly 5,000%. It may seem unwise to buy a stock that has risen that quickly in a year, but I think there&#8217;s still value left in it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Sandisk trades at 33.4 times projected fiscal 2026 earnings, ending in late June. So it&#8217;s better to value the stock using fiscal 2027 earnings. From this perspective, Sandisk&#8217;s stock trades at a cheap 12 times forward earnings.<\/p>\n<p>   <a href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\/companies\/SNDK\/chart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" alt=\"SNDK PE Ratio (Forward 1y) Chart\" loading=\"lazy\" height=\"441\" width=\"720\" class=\"yf-lglytj loader\"\/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\/companies\/SNDK\/forward_pe_ratio_1y\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:SNDK PE Ratio (Forward 1y);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;SNDK PE Ratio (Forward 1y)&quot;}\" class=\"link \">SNDK PE Ratio (Forward 1y)<\/a> data by <a href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:YCharts;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;YCharts&quot;}\" class=\"link \">YCharts<\/a>     <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">On top of that, Wall Street expects Sandisk&#8217;s revenue to grow at a 122% pace during fiscal 2027. This growth explosion stems from the insatiable demand for memory from AI data centers. Sandisk makes memory chips that are used to create solid-state drives (SSDs), which are vital for long-term data center information storage. With the AI build-out expected to continue ramping up through 2030, as Nvidia projected, Sandisk has a ton of growth ahead that has yet to be baked into the stock.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">So just because Sandisk has risen rapidly over the past year doesn&#8217;t mean that it&#8217;s done yet. I think Sandisk has more upside from here, and is a solid investment pick.<\/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=c20a7f18-4b03-4c72-9371-04e9f4dc202d&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=aafafd41-ca7c-4070-80b1-70c9993f4723\" 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 $392,713!*\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 $1,227,782!*<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">That performance is why people listen.
