Better AI Stock: Alphabet vs. Nvidia
Is Nvidia's explosive growth worth the premium, or does Alphabet offer smarter value? Get the facts on these top AI stocks before you invest.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a hot topic for more than two years now. A small group of tech giants has emerged as leaders in this space, providing either the computing hardware or the user-friendly services that power this technology revolution. You know them as the "Magnificent Seven" stocks. This phrase suggests greatness, though it was always meant as a warning signal. Several of the seven heroes died in the 1960 movie by the same name. The seven original AI leaders could stumble and fall, too.
As I'm writing this on May 28, the Magnificent Seven stocks have separated into two distinct groups. High-performance microchip designer Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stole the show so far with a total gain of 701% in the ChatGPT-inspired generative AI boom. Software and services giant Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has a more modest stock return of 72% over the same period.
There are so many questions in the air. Can Nvidia hold on to its dominant grip on the AI hardware opportunity? Will Alphabet's Google division thrive in the new age of AI-driven online services? Are the stocks trading at reasonable valuations these days? And most of all -- which one of these mighty AI stocks is the better buy today?
