3 Top AI Stocks for October
The fourth quarter could see some big momentum shifts for these tech players.
Overview
It's hard to believe, but we're entering the fourth quarter of 2026. This year has been one for the ages, with some stocks soaring while others in the same industries have stayed relatively flat. I think the smartest stocks to buy now aren't the ones that have soared already in 2026; they're the ones that have been quiet while their peers have been making waves.
Two of the top 10 performing S&P 500 stocks so far this year have been AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) and Intel (NASDAQ: INTC): They're up 195% and 230%, respectively, in 2026. However, I think their runs are about over for now.
Details
Instead, I'd rather invest in Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM). Here's why I think these three are bound for new heights.
