The First Half of 2026 Is Over. These 2 Spectacular Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks Can Soar in the Second Half.
Neither Meta Platforms nor Nvidia is trading at the premiums they warrant.
Overview
So far, 2026 has been another year during which Wall Street was dominated by stocks in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. However, the biggest winners were not the same old names from prior years. Companies in the memory chip space have soared, with stocks like Micron and Sandisk posting unbelievable gains.
Additionally, comeback stories in the processor chip space such as AMD and Intel have delivered solid returns. However, the AI stocks that have been mostly poor performers were the ones that were the best performers in 2023, 2024, and 2025. This could signal the start of a regime change, or it could simply reflect the market becoming interested in new parts of the AI narrative.
Details
I think the latter is more likely, as the companies that dominated during the three previous years are still doing well as businesses; they're just not trading at the same premiums they used to. I think that two in particular are the best bets to soar over the rest of this year.
