In 2025, the artificial intelligence (AI) stock wave is expected to do numbers again, heavily benefitting investors. Big-name tech companies including Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), and Alphabet (GOOGL) could be among the top beneficiaries. Those companies poured billions into AI partnerships and their own initiatives in the last few years. Now in 2025, investors will look to see just how much return of profit their investments can make.
David Dietze, senior portfolio strategist at Peapack Private Wealth Management, believes that the AI stock boom will continue in 2025. Shares of AI chipmaker Nvidia — “the granddaddy of them all,” as Dietze puts it — soared more than 170% this year, leading the wave for AI. Its chips became crucial to the development of technology in the growing AI sector. While the company will continue to dominate in the new year, other Mag-7 members are also making their own paths in the AI industry, perhaps weakening NVDA’s market share dominance.
Which Stocks Will Compete With AI King Nvidia in 2025?
2024 proved that Nvidia isn’t the only dominant player in technology, despite its monstrous surge. Shares of e-commerce giant Amazon, which is also getting in on the chip game, surged more than 50%. Google parent Alphabet stock rose 40%, and Apple climbed more than 35%. While these fall far short of Nvidia, these numbers are expected to continue in 2025 as the companies make further steps into the artificial intelligence industry, As a result, AMZN; GOOGL; and MSFT could be tech stocks to watch next year as AI continues to shine.
Other companies that could make a splash in AI in 2025 are Meta Platforms, Crowdstrike (CRWD), and Tesla (TSLA). Meta Platforms has become a powerhouse among AI stocks to buy, connecting 3.29 billion daily users across its platforms. The company’s major AI investments, including its proprietary Llama model and enhanced advertising tools, drive continuous growth. Crowdstrike, meanwhile had its revenue surge in 2024. CrowdStrike’s AI and cloud security solutions attract steady investment, making it a potential leader in cybersecurity and AI in 2025. Tesla, under founder Elon Musk, also expects huge growth thanks to its autonomous EVs next year, as well as the arrival of the Tesla Optimus robot.
