So, how can Nvidia's stock soar 67% in 2025? Simple. It does what it's expected to and gives a solid outlook for next year. Right now, Nvidia trades for 52 times trailing earnings, which is near the cheapest level it has traded at over the past two years.

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to many companies claiming AI capabilities. Although not all of these are worthy AI investments, telecom giant Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) may be an overlooked sleeper AI stock.

Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 revolved around AI. If not, it’s all that exhibitors could show. Talking about the highlight of the show, it was undoubtedly the keynote from Jensen Huang.

Nvidia ( NVDA 3.10%), Palantir Technologies ( PLTR 3.65%), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing ( TSM -1.53%), Amazon ( AMZN 2.39%), and Broadcom ( AVGO 3.50%) are all top choices for excellent AI stock picks in 2025.

That sets the table for continued growth over the coming years. Analysts estimate that Nvidia will grow earnings by an average of 38% annually for the next three to five years. Today, Nvidia trades at a forward P/E ratio of 51, a rock-solid value for its anticipated growth.

The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is set to continue at a rapid pace in 2025: Market research firm IDC estimates that investments in data center infrastructure, AI agents, and efforts taken by organizations to embed AI capabilities into their operations will add up to outlays of $227 billion this year.

Enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) software provider C3.ai (NYSE: AI) is off to a shaky start in 2025. Shares of the company have fallen 10% this year, though there has been no company-specific news of note that could have triggered this pullback.
