Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM 2.96%) just reported earnings, showcasing that the AI build-out is alive and well. This makes several stocks attractive buys, including TSMC itself. I'm also bullish on Nvidia (NVDA 1.97%) and Broadcom (AVGO 0.70%), as increased semiconductor demand means that these two will sell more chips.

That's a bullish combination, and if you've missed out on the massive gain of these three over the past few years, now is the perfect time to buy, as they're each on sale.

Image source: Getty Images.

1. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing TSMC has had a rough few weeks and is down about 15% from its all-time high despite reporting incredible second quarter earnings. When a company reports strong earnings and gives a rosy outlook, yet the stock doesn't rally, that's my sign as an investor that the market isn't fully buying what TSMC is selling, which leaves a great investment opportunity for individual investors who can be contrarian.

During Q2, TSMC's revenue increased 36% year over year (in New Taiwan Dollars), and earnings per share skyrocketed 77%, showcasing improving operating leverage. TSMC has a grip on the chip industry, as it's the only one with enough capacity and advanced enough technology to support a major AI computing build-out, so as long as demand persists, TSMC will be a great investment.

Speaking of investments, TSMC is planning to invest another $100 billion in its Arizona fabrication facilities, highlighting growing demand for chips.

If the AI build-out were nearing completion, TSMC would be more cautious to invest this large sum in new production. However, CEO C.C. Wei stated that strong chip demand will persist through 2029 or 2030. This bodes well for TSMC's future and the other two. It's a great buy now and will remain a top stock pick in the AI-fueled market.

2. Nvidia Nvidia's stock has rallied over the past few weeks, but it's still down more than 10% from its all-time high. With TSMC's strong future projections, it's clear that Nvidia will be in a great spot, and Wall Street analysts back this up.

For the remainder of the current fiscal year, Wall Street analysts estimate 82% revenue growth for Nvidia and 42% next year. That's strong growth for the world's largest company, yet none of that is priced into the stock.

When you analyze Nvidia's stock price using next year's earnings estimates, it looks incredibly cheap, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it rally by the end of the year to bring its valuation back up, much like it has each of the past two years.

NVDA PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts

This bodes well for Nvidia's future, and I think it's one of the top stocks to buy in the market.

3. Broadcom Broadcom is the furthest from its all-time high of the trio, recently down more than 20%. However, its future is arguably brighter than either Nvidia or TSMC.

For the remainder of this year and into next, Broadcom expects massive growth from its custom AI chip business. Next year, Broadcom expects $100 billion in AI semiconductor revenue, yet this division reported only $10.8 billion in revenue last quarter. This indicates huge, explosive growth over the next year and will transform Broadcom into a completely new business.

After Broadcom's sell-off, the stock is more reasonably priced at 32 times forward earnings, but it's still quite expensive overall. However, with major growth expected next year, looking at FY 2027 earnings estimates to value the stock is also smart (as with Nvidia). Broadcom trades for 19 times next year's earnings, which isn't a bad price to pay at all for a rising star in the AI world.

All three stocks are fantastic buys right now, and investors should be loading up on them before the market gets bullish on AI again.

Investors choosing between Salesforce (CRM 0.86%) and Dell Technologies (DELL +1.27%) are weighing the merits of software-as-a-service (SaaS) against physical infrastructure in an era increasingly defined by artificial intelligence integration and cloud computing.

Salesforce focuses on customer relationship management (CRM) through its digital platform, while Dell provides the hardware and servers necessary to power modern computing. Both companies are adapting their business models to capture a larger share of enterprise spending.

The case for SalesforceSalesforce is a major player among tech stocks because of its dominance in customer relationship management. The company provides cloud-based software and AI tools that help businesses manage sales, marketing, and customer service on a single platform. A recent strategic move includes the June 2026 acquisition of Fin for nearly $3.6 billion to enhance its autonomous agent capabilities.

In its 2026 fiscal year (FY), revenue reached $41.5 billion, representing a growth of nearly 10% over the previous year. This revenue expansion contributed to a net income of $7.5 billion for the period. These figures indicate a net margin of 18%, reflecting the company's ability to convert sales into profit.

As of its January 2026 balance sheet, the company reported a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.3x. This ratio compares total debt to shareholder equity, while the current ratio of 0.8x measures its ability to cover short-term liabilities with short-term assets. Free cash flow, which is the cash remaining after operating costs and capital expenditures, reached $14.4 billion. Note that stock-based compensation (SBC) represented 23.4% of operating cash flow, which inflates reported cash generation since SBC is a non-cash expense added back in the cash flow statement.

The case for Dell TechnologiesDell provides a wide range of technology solutions, including personal devices, storage, and AI-focused infrastructure. The company serves a diverse global audience across commercial and consumer segments. Recently, it refined its North American distribution strategy by terminating its enterprise computing partnership with Arrow Electronics-owned Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions.

For FY 2026, the company reported revenue of $113.5 billion, which is growth of nearly 19% compared to the prior year. This led to net income of $5.9 billion. This performance resulted in a net margin of 5% for the fiscal year.

As of its January 2026 balance sheet, the current ratio was 0.9x. The debt-to-equity ratio was -12.8x, which indicates that total liabilities exceed shareholder equity. This negative value is primarily attributed to Dell’s aggressive stock repurchase initiative, which significantly reduced the outstanding share count. Free cash flow for the year reached $8.6 billion, representing the cash generated from operations minus money spent on capital assets.

Risk profile comparisonSalesforce faces significant competition from established enterprise vendors like Microsoft and various AI-native startups. The company is currently engaged in an antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft regarding the bundling of collaboration software. Additionally, it faces legal scrutiny through a class action investigation and must manage persistent cybersecurity threats to its cloud data.

Dell Technologies relies heavily on third-party vendors and contract manufacturers in Asia, creating potential supply chain vulnerabilities. It faces intense pressure in the hardware market. The company also faces litigation from XTX Markets, and must defend against ongoing cyber threats targeting its supply chain.

Valuation comparisonSalesforce currently trades at a significantly lower earnings multiple than Dell, although Dell offers a more attractive valuation when looking at total sales.

MetricSalesforceDell TechnologiesSector BenchmarkForward P/E12.1x21.7x33.8xP/S ratio3.4x2.3xn/aSector benchmark uses the SPDR XLK sector ETF. Valuation metrics sourced from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) and may differ from other data providers.

Artificial intelligence has impacted the share price performance for both Salesforce and Dell this year, but in exactly opposite ways. Wall Street’s fear that AI would eat into Salesforce’s CRM business caused a sell-off that drove shares to a 52-week low of $146.32 in June. Meanwhile, AI’s need for massive amounts of computing hardware resulted in a surge in sales that powered Dell’s stock to a 52-week high of $469.47 that same month.

It would seem Dell is obviously the better stock to buy. After all, the company reported record revenue of $43.8 billion for its fiscal first quarter, ended May 1, which represents an impressive 88% year-over-year increase. Dell’s soaring sales contributes to the stock’s low P/S ratio.

However, Salesforce’s business does not appear impacted by AI. In reality, revenue in its fiscal first quarter, ended April 30, rose 13% year over year to $11.1 billion. The company has responded to the AI threat by launching its own AI solutions tailored specifically to CRM, and that contributed to its decision to acquire Fin.

Because of Wall Street’s sell-off, Salesforce is the better stock to buy. Its low forward earnings multiple suggests it is at a compelling share price, and once investors begin to realize AI is not a danger to its business, Salesforce shares will be poised to rise.

NEXT HEADLINE »Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Public School Empls Retrmt SYS Sells 43,103 Shares of monday.com Ltd. $MNDY

Last year, Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA 0.34%) (BRKB 0.42%) made a big investment that seemed out of place to many investors who follow the company and its chairman, Warren Buffett, closely. The company bought about $4 billion worth of Alphabet (GOOG 2.06%) (GOOGL 2.05%).

The size of the investment suggested Buffett, who historically avoids technology stocks, was behind the purchase. Since Greg Abel took over as CEO at the start of the year, he has made Alphabet one of Berkshire's largest investments, putting another $23 billion (or more) into the stock. So, it was reasonable to think Abel had used his influence to initiate the position last year.

But Buffett put any speculating to rest. "I initiated it," he disclosed in a recent interview with CNBC. And while he dodged further questions on his investment thesis on Alphabet, he provided an indication of what he's looking for in an investment. Here's what he likes about Alphabet.

Former Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.

What is a good business, according to Warren Buffett? Warren Buffett's investment strategy boils down to buying wonderful businesses at a fair price. There are two key components to that: 1. identifying a wonderful business, and 2. determining a fair price.

Buffett shared exactly what he thinks makes a good business. "The trick is ... to find businesses that are going to earn high returns on capital for an extended period of time."

Buffett calls out several of Berkshire's longtime holdings as examples. American Express earns a much higher return on equity (which is often what Buffett's referring to when he says "return on capital") than other banks. Buffett points out that Amex achieves its 34% ROE without taking on additional risk relative to other banks that generate returns in the low teens on average.

Why Alphabet fits that definition now For a long time, Buffett and his longtime vice chairman, Charlie Munger, said they wouldn't buy Google, as the company was known before it changed its name to Alphabet. The two explained at Berkshire's 2012 shareholder meeting that they just didn't understand the business well enough to invest in it.

"I made a mistake," Buffett said with a wry smile when asked why he didn't like the company back then. "But Charlie ... he just pounded the idea that it wasn't a good business just because it was doing sexy things or whatever it might be but it wasn't earning real cash or be expected to do it in a very short period of time."

But Alphabet has blossomed into a massive cash-generating machine. Even after accounting for the large amounts of stock-based compensation, Alphabet is generating substantial cash from its operating activities: about $150 billion over the last 12 months. Alphabet had been using significant amounts of cash to offset stock-based compensation and return excess cash to shareholders through share repurchases, but a major change in the business over the last few years makes it even more appealing to Buffett.

A company generating high cash returns is great, but what's even better is if "it could redeploy it as a business," Buffett said. "It was even better than one that had the ability to earn high returns, but you couldn't deploy the excess capital of those returns."

Today, Alphabet has the opportunity to deploy hundreds of billions of capital into AI data centers. And Buffett believes it's better positioned than any of its competitors to achieve high returns on that investment.

Why Alphabet is set to achieve above-market returns Alphabet could spend more cash than it generates this year for the first time in a long time. Management expects full-year capital expenditures to be between $180 billion and $190 billion, driven by unprecedented demand for AI compute.

What might give Buffett the confidence that Alphabet can generate strong returns on that investment? Alphabet's full-stack approach to its cloud business.

Alphabet isn't just providing infrastructure for AI developers to run their models. It offers a whole platform with a software layer that makes it easy to create, manage, and deploy new AI-based software. That provides a significant level of differentiation, especially considering its Gemini family of models is among the best in the industry.

What's more, Alphabet designs its own chips, TPUs, which have gained significant traction over the last year or so. It signed a deal with Anthropic to use its chips and plans to sell them directly to select third-party customers in the near future. Using TPUs instead of more traditional GPUs gives Alphabet greater control over its supply chain and one of its highest costs, enabling it to scale faster and achieve better margins.

On top of all that, Alphabet has a massive and fast-growing backlog of contracted revenue. As of the end of the first quarter, Alphabet's remaining performance obligations totaled $462 billion, nearly doubling from the previous quarter. Management expects to realize over 50% of that backlog within the next 24 months, which will push the scale of its Google Cloud business beyond $100 billion in annual revenue.

Alphabet looks poised to produce very strong returns on its invested capital within short order. The opportunity for it to deploy all of its excess capital (and then some) in such an opportunity makes it very attractive to an investor like Buffett.

Artificial intelligence has been defined by a relentless race for more computing power. Nvidia‘s (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) GPUs became the stars of that story because they delivered the horsepower needed to train ever-larger AI models. But every technology boom eventually runs into a new constraint. 

According to a recent Morgan Stanley report, that next hurdle isn’t computing power — it’s memory. As AI models grow larger and inference workloads become more demanding, data centers need far more memory bandwidth and capacity to keep expensive accelerators fed with data. That shift could reshape where hundreds of billions of dollars in AI infrastructure spending flows over the rest of the decade.

The Memory Wall Is Becoming AI’s Biggest Challenge Morgan Stanley argues memory is becoming the new bottleneck for AI systems, a phenomenon long known in computing as the “memory wall.” GPUs continue getting faster, but they spend more time waiting for data to arrive from memory rather than performing calculations.

The numbers help explain why this matters. Morgan Stanley estimates memory will account for roughly 40% of cloud and data center capital spending by 2030, up from only about 12% today. That increase reflects growing demand across several categories:

Memory Segment Primary AI Role Leading Companies High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) Feeds AI accelerators with massive data throughput SK Hynix (NASDAQ:SKHY), Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU), Samsung Server DRAM (DDR5+) Expands memory capacity for inference and larger AI models SK Hynix, Micron, Samsung CXL Memory Expansion Pools and expands memory across AI servers Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL), SK Hynix, Micron NAND Flash Storage Stores AI datasets and checkpoints SK Hynix, Micron, Samsung Let’s put that into perspective. Every dollar hyperscalers spend on AI servers increasingly requires another dollar supporting the memory ecosystem. That broadens the investment opportunity well beyond GPU manufacturers.

Morgan Stanley identifies several categories where pressure will build most, and three publicly traded companies appear positioned to benefit across multiple segments.

Nvidia's speed isn't enough. As the 'Memory Wall' looms, a 233% spending shift is creating a massive new opportunity in AI infrastructure. © 24/7 Wall St. SK Hynix (SKHY) SK Hynix remains the purest memory play. The company holds 58% of the advanced HBM market, giving it the leading position in one of AI’s fastest-growing and highest-margin categories. Beyond HBM, it also maintains major positions in DRAM and NAND, allowing it to benefit regardless of which part of the AI memory hierarchy grows fastest.

Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Micron Technology didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.

Micron Technology (MU) Micron is quickly closing the gap. The company has secured long-term HBM supply agreements with hyperscale customers while expanding production of AI-optimized DRAM. Unlike previous memory cycles driven by smartphones or PCs, AI demand is creating longer product cycles and richer pricing. That could support stronger margins than investors have historically expected from memory manufacturers.

Marvell Technology (MRVL) Marvell Technology offers a different way to invest in the trend. Rather than manufacturing memory chips, Marvell develops CXL controllers, switches, and memory expansion technology that lets AI servers share and pool memory more efficiently. According to Morgan Stanley, the CXL memory controller (MXC) chip market is expected to more than double in size to $2.1 billion. Marvell’s Structera product line hit all three CXL categories that are expected to surge, and 75% of its total revenue is tied to data centers, cloud, and custom silicon. With a $165 billion market cap amid a seeming sea of trillion-dollar peers, it may see the most explosive growth.

Key Takeaway In short, AI’s next growth phase may depend less on adding more GPUs than on ensuring those processors never sit idle waiting for data. Morgan Stanley’s projection that memory spending could climb from 12% to 40% of cloud infrastructure investment by 2030 suggests one of the largest shifts in AI spending is only beginning.

Granted, memory has always been a cyclical business, and supply expansions can pressure pricing. That said, AI is creating structural demand for higher-value products like HBM and CXL-enabled memory systems that simply didn’t exist during previous cycles. 

Ultimately, investors looking beyond Nvidia should pay close attention to SK Hynix, Micron, and Marvell. As the AI memory wall grows taller, these companies may become some of the most important builders helping the industry climb over it.

Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Micron Technology didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
