Nvidia, for example, is up around 1,300% over the last five years.<\/p>\n<p>There are still a lot of AI stocks that look cheap, however. Here are three that I believe are worth a closer look today.<\/p>\n<p>A suite of AI products <\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with tech powerhouse and Google owner, Alphabet (<a class=\"tickerized-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.co.uk\/tickers\/nasdaq-goog\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NASDAQ: GOOG<\/a>). It currently trades on a forward-looking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.co.uk\/investing-basics\/how-to-value-shares\/pe-ratio\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">price-to-earnings<\/a> (P\/E) ratio of just 21.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s roughly in the line with the US market average. So, unlike a lot of other AI stocks, Alphabet isn\u2019t commanding a huge valuation premium to the market at present.<\/p>\n<p>Now, one reason this stock has a lower valuation than some others is that generative AI poses a threat to Google\u2019s business model (search). No doubt, there\u2019s some uncertainty here.<\/p>\n<p>Yet with its suite of powerful products (AI mode, AI Overviews, Gemini, Google Maps, etc), I\u2019m optimistic that Google will remain relevant in the AI era. And it seems the market is starting to take the same view.<\/p>\n<p>After some weakness early in the year, the stock is now rising again. I see the potential for further gains ahead and believe the stock is worth considering today.<\/p>\n<p>Rolling out AI agents<\/p>\n<p>Next, we have AI agent specialist Salesforce (<a class=\"tickerized-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.co.uk\/tickers\/nyse-crm\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NYSE: CRM<\/a>). It\u2019s currently trading on a P\/E ratio of 22.7.<\/p>\n<p>This is very much a \u2018battleground\u2019 stock right now. On one hand, the bears say that automation and AI are going to reduce demand for Salesforce\u2019s traditional customer relationship management (CRM) software. On the other hand, there are those who see a lot of potential in the company\u2019s agentic AI offering, Agentforce, and believe the stock is cheap today.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I\u2019m in the latter camp. While I acknowledge the risks here, I don\u2019t think Salesforce\u2019s offering is going to become obsolete any time soon. And with the company rolling out innovative AI and data services, I think it will continue to grow in the years ahead. So, in my view, it\u2019s a stock to think about buying today.<\/p>\n<p>A crucial cog in the ecosystem<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I think semiconductor manufacturing equipment maker Lam Research (<a class=\"tickerized-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.co.uk\/tickers\/nasdaq-lrcx\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NASDAQ: LRCX<\/a>) is worth a look today. It currently trades on a P\/E ratio of 22.4.<\/p>\n<p>This company plays a really important role in the AI ecosystem. Because it manufactures <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.co.uk\/investing-basics\/market-sectors\/investing-in-semiconductor-stocks-in-the-uk\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">chip-making<\/a> equipment needed to develop advanced AI processors (designed by the likes of Nvidia and AMD and built by the likes of Taiwan Semi and Samsung).<\/p>\n<p>This industry importance was reflected in the company\u2019s results for Q2. For the period, revenue and earnings were up 10% and 27% year on year respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, a risk here is China restrictions. Because this country represented 35% of revenue last quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly though, the US only represented 6% of revenue. If the US ramps up its chip manufacturing capabilities in the years ahead as it plans to, I think revenues here could grow substantially.<\/p>\n<p>Note that since the Q2 results, many brokerage firms have increased their price targets for this stock. Analysts at Susquehanna went to $135, which is 35% above the current share price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Image source: Getty Images Growth stocks in the artificial intelligence (AI) space have generally done very well in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":107927,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,4698,4699,4701,4702,4703,4704,4705,4706,4707,86,4700,52393,34514,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-107926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-category-investing","tag-category-us-stock","tag-partner-feeds-dbc-media","tag-partner-feeds-fineco","tag-partner-feeds-flipboard","tag-partner-feeds-msn","tag-partner-feeds-pluto-invest","tag-partner-feeds-sharesight","tag-partner-feeds-yahoo-uk","tag-technology","tag-tickers_global-nasdaq-goog","tag-tickers_global-nasdaq-lrcx","tag-tickers_global-nyse-crm","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
