Three Strong Alternative AI Stocks to Nvidia
- Taiwan Semiconductor's Market Position: As the world's largest chip foundry, TSMC anticipates a nearly 60% CAGR for AI chips from 2024 to 2029, with a projected 30% year-over-year growth in 2026, significantly enhancing its market share and profitability.
- Broadcom's AI Transformation: Broadcom's AI semiconductor revenue reached $6.5 billion in Q4, up 74% year-over-year, with expectations of $8.2 billion in Q1, indicating that AI will comprise 43% of total revenue, showcasing rapid growth potential in the AI sector.
- AMD's Competitive Strategy: Although AMD trails Nvidia in the AI race, its data center division is projected to achieve a 60% CAGR by 2030, positioning itself as a more competitively priced alternative that could see a resurgence during tight resource periods.
- Importance of Investment Diversification: While Nvidia has a bright outlook, investors should consider alternatives like TSMC, Broadcom, and AMD to mitigate risks and capitalize on diverse opportunities within the AI market.

ASML Stock Doubles Amid Promising AI Market Growth
- Strong Market Demand: ASML, as the world's largest lithography equipment manufacturer, has its extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems widely used by top semiconductor firms like TSMC and Samsung, with the AI infrastructure market expected to grow at a 29.1% CAGR, further driving ASML's market demand.
- Memory Market Recovery: With the stabilization of the PC and smartphone markets and the rapid growth of the AI market, the memory sector is projected to recover over the next two years, benefiting ASML's EUV sales due to increased demand for solid-state drives and high-bandwidth memory chips.
- 2026 Guidance Raised: ASML's net sales grew 16% to €32.7 billion in 2025, with year-end backlog reaching €38.8 billion, prompting an upward revision of its 2026 revenue guidance to €34 billion to €39 billion, exceeding analysts' previous expectations of 7% growth.
- Valuation Justification: Although ASML's P/E ratio stands at 42 times this year's earnings, its monopolistic position in the EUV market and strong exposure to the booming AI and memory chip markets rationalize this higher valuation, with expected EPS growth of 22% CAGR from 2025 to 2027.
