Investors are trying to sort out which companies and industries will be long-term winners and losers, and not every stock tied to AI is currently benefiting.<\/p>\n<p>The one thing that is for certain, though, is that there is going to be a lot of spending on AI infrastructure this year. The five largest hyperscalers (owners of massive data centers) alone have said they will spend a massive $700 billion on AI data centers this year. That will undoubtedly help several companies in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/market-sectors\/information-technology\/semiconductor-stocks\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">semiconductor industry<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, let&#8217;s look at five unstoppable <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> to buy for 2026.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Artist rendering of stock chart going up in 2026.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"880\" height=\"495\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"h-auto max-w-full rounded object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1773211871_624_.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Image source: Getty Images.<\/p>\n<p>1. Nvidia<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/nvda\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NVDA<\/a> +1.13%) is the king of AI infrastructure, and the 73% year-over-year revenue growth it reported for the recently completed Q4 shows why it remains one of the top dogs in the space. Demand for its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/g\/gpu\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">graphics processing units (GPUs)<\/a> has been unrelenting, as these are the main chips used to power AI workloads.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/c\/cuda-programming\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CUDA<\/a> software platform, which is where most foundational AI code was written on and optimized for its chips, helps provide it with a wide moat going forward, particularly in training. <\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Advanced Micro Devices 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\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1773211871_306_.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Change<\/p>\n<p>(0.19%) $0.39<\/p>\n<p>Current Price<\/p>\n<p>$203.07<\/p>\n<p>Key Data Points<\/p>\n<p>Market Cap<\/p>\n<p>$331B<\/p>\n<p>Day&#8217;s Range<\/p>\n<p>$202.30 &#8211; $206.51<\/p>\n<p>52wk Range<\/p>\n<p>$76.48 &#8211; $267.08<\/p>\n<p>Volume<\/p>\n<p>1M<\/p>\n<p>Avg Vol<\/p>\n<p>37M<\/p>\n<p>Gross Margin<\/p>\n<p>45.99%<\/p>\n<p>2. Advanced Micro Devices<\/p>\n<p>While a distant No. 2 player to Nvidia in the GPU space, Advanced Micro Devices (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/amd\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AMD<\/a> +0.19%) has found a nice niche in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/a\/ai-inference\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">inference<\/a> market, which is eventually expected to become larger than training. Meanwhile, the company has received large GPU commitments from both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/how-to-invest\/stocks\/how-to-invest-in-openai-stock\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">OpenAI<\/a> and Meta Platforms. Perhaps the most exciting part of the AMD story, though, is that data center central processing units (CPUs) could see a huge surge in demand from the rise of agentic AI. The company is the leader in data center CPUs, so this would be a big growth driver. <\/p>\n<p>3. Broadcom<\/p>\n<p>As hyperscalers look to reduce computing costs, they have been increasingly turning to Broadcom (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/avgo\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AVGO<\/a> 0.98%) to aid them in designing custom AI ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits). The company helped Alphabet\u00a0develop its highly regarded tensor processing units (TPUs), which continue to be a big growth driver. Meanwhile, other customers have turned to Broadcom to assist them in developing their own custom AI ASICs. It now sees custom AI chips alone contributing more than $100 million in revenue in fiscal 2027. At the same time, its data center networking portfolio is also growing rapidly. Between these two businesses, Broadcom has some of the best growth opportunities in the space over the next couple of years. <\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Broadcom 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\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1773211872_100_.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Change<\/p>\n<p>(-0.98%) $-3.40<\/p>\n<p>Current Price<\/p>\n<p>$342.35<\/p>\n<p>Key Data Points<\/p>\n<p>Market Cap<\/p>\n<p>$1.6T<\/p>\n<p>Day&#8217;s Range<\/p>\n<p>$340.85 &#8211; $353.13<\/p>\n<p>52wk Range<\/p>\n<p>$138.10 &#8211; $414.61<\/p>\n<p>Volume<\/p>\n<p>1.3M<\/p>\n<p>Avg Vol<\/p>\n<p>32M<\/p>\n<p>Gross Margin<\/p>\n<p>64.96%<\/p>\n<p>Dividend Yield<\/p>\n<p>0.71%<\/p>\n<p>4. Micron Technology<\/p>\n<p>For GPUs and other AI chips to perform optimally, they need to be packaged with a special form of DRAM (dynamic random-access memory) called high-bandwidth memory (HBM). That, by itself, is causing a surge in demand, but HBM also requires upwards of three times the wafer capacity of ordinary DRAM, which is keeping supplies tight and prices increasing. As a result, as one of the big three DRAM makers, along with Korean companies Samsung and SK Hynix, Micron Technology (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/mu\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MU<\/a> +3.41%) is seeing its revenue soar and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/g\/gross-margin\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">gross margins<\/a> balloon. With Micron predicting that HBM demand will increase at a 40% annual pace over the next few years and starting to lock in longer-term commitments, the company is well-positioned for continued strong growth. <\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing 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\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1773211872_540_.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Change<\/p>\n<p>(-0.54%) $-1.89<\/p>\n<p>Current Price<\/p>\n<p>$346.81<\/p>\n<p>Key Data Points<\/p>\n<p>Market Cap<\/p>\n<p>$1.8T<\/p>\n<p>Day&#8217;s Range<\/p>\n<p>$344.31 &#8211; $353.45<\/p>\n<p>52wk Range<\/p>\n<p>$134.25 &#8211; $390.20<\/p>\n<p>Volume<\/p>\n<p>707K<\/p>\n<p>Avg Vol<\/p>\n<p>13M<\/p>\n<p>Gross Margin<\/p>\n<p>58.73%<\/p>\n<p>Dividend Yield<\/p>\n<p>0.89%<\/p>\n<p>5. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing<\/p>\n<p>As demand for GPUs, AI ASICs, and CPUs skyrockets, it benefits Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nyse\/tsm\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TSM<\/a> 0.54%), as it is the main foundry that manufactures these logic chips for its chip-designing clients. It&#8217;s also the primary company that packages HBM (which it buys from DRAM makers) with these chips through a process called CoWoS (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate). The company has a big technological edge in the manufacturing and packaging of these chips, which has led it to become a virtual monopoly for advanced logic chip manufacturing. That has also given TSMC strong pricing power, which, together with increased capacity, sets the company up to see strong growth in the coming years. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/author\/20615\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Geoffrey Seiler<\/a> has positions in Alphabet, Broadcom, and Meta Platforms.
