Artificial intelligence (AI) is Wall Street’s new obsession, with companies discussing the technology in a snowballing fashion and helping keep market sentiment positive.
The robust quarterly results we’ve received from NVIDIA over the last year have added further fuel to the fire, with the company flexing the scorching-hot demand it’s been witnessing regarding its AI chips.
Let’s take a closer look at a few other stocks – Comfort Systems USA FIX, Vertiv VRT, and Amazon AMZN – that investors can buy to ride the data center wave.
Amazon shares reflect an excellent opportunity for investors to obtain exposure to the data center thanks to Amazon Web Services (AWS). Many are familiar with AWS, whether through the many advertisements across TV or in their own professional work.
AWS is the dominant player in the cloud computing market, flexing a significant market share globally. It provides various services, including computing power, storage, databases, and AI/ML tools.
Earnings expectations across the board have moved higher for the mega-cap giant, reflecting an optimistic outlook from analysts. The $5.19 Zacks Consensus EPS estimate suggests nearly 80% growth year-over-year, with the stock also sporting a bullish Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
