The Artificial Intelligence Revolution: A Cautionary Tale for Investors
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been the darling of Wall Street for nearly two years, with its potential to transform industries and drive economic growth. However, history has shown that not all participants in a revolutionary technology will emerge as winners. In fact, three AI-dependent stocks that have experienced parabolic growth may be due for a significant correction, according to some Wall Street analysts.
One of these stocks is semiconductor giant Nvidia, which has been at the forefront of the AI revolution. Despite its dominance in the market, Nvidia faces increasing competition from cheaper and more widely available AI graphics processing units (GPUs). Additionally, its largest customers are developing their own AI-GPUs, which could reduce their reliance on Nvidia’s hardware. With insiders selling their shares and no game-changing innovation in sight, Nvidia’s stock may be due for a 28% decline.
Another AI stock that has experienced rapid growth is cloud-based lending platform Upstart Holdings. While its AI-driven lending model has shown promise, it is highly dependent on favorable lending rates. With the Federal Reserve’s rate-hiking cycle reducing demand for loans, Upstart’s growth has stalled, and it is now losing money every quarter. If interest rates do not fall significantly, Upstart’s stock may plummet by 76%.
The third AI stock that may be due for a correction is data-mining specialist Palantir Technologies. While its Gotham platform has been a primary source of growth, its future is dependent on its relatively nascent Foundry platform. With Palantir’s valuation at nosebleed levels and its Gotham platform limited to select nations, its stock may be due for a 78% decline.
Investors should exercise caution when investing in these AI stocks, as they may not be as immune to market fluctuations as they seem.
