Prediction: While Big Tech Grabs Headlines, These Small AI Stocks Could Outperform
2026-03-22 00:20:00 ET
Perhaps no stock has symbolized the artificial intelligence (AI) era more than Nvidia . Thanks to AI, it became the first company to reach a $4 trillion market cap, then beat its own record a few months later by exceeding $5 trillion.
Other big tech companies have captured AI headlines in recent years as well, such as Meta Platforms with its plan to build a data center the size of a city to house its AI tech. Yet several smaller businesses are poised to see substantial growth in the years ahead as the AI market expands.
These lesser-known growth stocks offer a great way to capture AI's upside potential. Three in this camp that I predict will deliver attractive returns over the long run are Symbotic (NASDAQ: SYM) , Fastly (NASDAQ: FSLY) , and Astera Labs (NASDAQ: ALAB) .
