Qualcomm (
QCOM
+3.65%
) is best known for the chips and wireless technology inside smartphones. At its Investor Day in New York City, the company made the case that its next major growth engine could come from a very different market: AI data centers.
That message ran through much of the event. Qualcomm is not walking away from handsets, but management wants investors to look at a wider set of g

The pre-market session on Thursday was a wall of green. Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU | MU Price Prediction) ripped 12.32% intraday to $1,177.73 after a fiscal Q3 report that redefined what an AI-cycle blowout looks like. The rest of the memory complex came along for the ride. On CNBC the same morning, Global X’s Seana Smith framed the earnings report as vindication, saying “the beat and raise… ver

Seventy percent. That's the share of global memory chip production that artificial intelligence (AI) data centers are expected to absorb in 2026. Set aside what that means for the companies supplying it for a moment and consider what it means for everything else in the tech realm. Smartphones, laptops, cars, medical devices, and televisions are all competing for the remaining 30% of a supply base

For years, Qualcomm (
QCOM

) has been seen as a premium smartphone chipmaker that raked in billions from the mobile revolution. However, investors may be witnessing the beginning of a new chapter.
At yesterday’s investor day, the company unveiled ambitious plans to more than double its non-handset sales in just three years, to $40 billion. While total revenue growth doesn’t seem significan

) are the two largest producers of discrete GPUs. They both produce data center GPUs for the booming AI market.
However, Nvidia often attracts more attention than AMD because it controls more than 90% of the discrete GPU market. AMD, which tries to compete against Nvidia with its cheaper chips, only holds a single-digit share. Nvidia also generates most

Micron Technology (

In June 2022, I made what was likely a mistake by choosing to buy Advanced Micro Devices (
AMD
+1.51%
) stock over Nvidia (
NVDA
2.24%
). It was a cheaper stock in terms of valuation, and this was before Nvidia's "ChatGPT moment," when the market discovered the power of Nvidia's AI accelerators.
Also, buying AMD is only a mistake in a relative sense. It is still up around 560% from my initial buy

Space Exploration Technologies, better known as SpaceX, may have captured the attention of many investors, but I think several stocks are far better investments today. One of the best may be sitting right under investors' noses.
Although it's the largest company in the world, I think Nvidia (
