The IMF is now openly warning that an AI share price slump could threaten global financial stability, which tells you something important. Expectations around artificial intelligence are sky high, and that can create pricing extremes. For investors, pockets of undervaluation across AI hardware, software and cloud look more interesting than ever. This article walks through three AI stocks from our undervalued screener that may be worth a closer look.
The three AI stocks covered next are just a sample, and the full screen surfaces 131 more companies tied to the ChatGPT and AI buildout, with similarly compelling stories that are not covered in this article. To size up that broader universe and focus on your own highest conviction ideas, go straight to the Undervalued Artificial Intelligence/ AI Stocks screener.
NVIDIA is the purest AI infrastructure story in this screener, supplying the GPUs and software that power large language models, while still running a sizeable graphics business for gaming and visualization.
NVIDIA generated about US$275.4b from Compute & Networking and US$27.6b from Graphics, highlighting how data center AI hardware and software now dominate its income mix. The group is valued at roughly US$5,464.9b by market cap.
NVIDIA matters here because its GPUs, networking hardware, and CUDA software are the plumbing that lets ChatGPT style systems move from research projects to industrial scale infrastructure investors can actually underwrite.
"Uptake of an open-source, cheaper, or better platform than Nvidia's CUDA would heavily undermine Nvidia's moat and enable any sizeable firm to directly engage semiconductor manufacturers, such as TSMC, to produce their own chips, stealing away Nvidia's high margin products."
What happens if one quiet shift in buyer preference starts to loosen that grip will say a lot about future pricing power.
That shift in power is exactly what sits at the center of the full narrative for NVIDIA, which weighs how CUDA reliance, competitors and capital spend could reshape NVIDIA's AI edge.
Marketingforce Management runs an AI driven cloud marketing and sales platform in China, combining its AI Application Business, which generated about CN¥2.1b, with Precision Marketing Service on roughly CN¥1.7b. The group is valued at around HK$13.3b by market cap.
Marketingforce Management gives you direct exposure to AI powered customer acquisition and analytics through its cloud SaaS platform, with AI Application Business already larger than its precision marketing arm and recent guidance pointing to expansion in AI led solutions, although much depends on how one unseen pressure shapes future pricing power.
That unseen pressure is already shaping expectations around Marketingforce Management, so go to the 4 key rewards and 1 important major warning sign to see how its AI upside and pricing power really compare.
Alphabet powers much of the plumbing behind the current AI wave, with Google Cloud's Vertex AI and Gemini models giving enterprises tools to build ChatGPT style systems, even though most of its money still comes from search, YouTube and other Google Services.
"Google Cloud has gone from "meh" to money-maker... It includes AI-first services such as Vertex AI, Duet AI, and infrastructure tools that are deeply integrated into BigQuery and Workspace."
The real swing factor is how one quiet shift in enterprise AI spending shapes future demand, margins and pricing power across Google Cloud.
That quiet shift could already be forming, so read the full narrative for Alphabet to see how Gemini, Cloud and ads might be decoupling under the surface.
