Artificial intelligence (AI) has been taking the world by storm and the stock market is no different. The AI market size has more than doubled from $95 billion in 2021 to $207 billion in 2023, and some projections believe this futuristic market could reach around $1.8 trillion by 2030.
If the artificial intelligence market reaches anywhere near these estimates, there’s a lot of potential money on the table. So here’s some inspiration for finding the best AI stocks of today and perhaps of tomorrow.
It’s looking that way, but there’s no guarantees. If AI becomes commonplace, and the technology is open-source, this could make it much cheaper, devaluing companies. At the moment, AI stocks can generate high profit margins because the technology is advanced and hard to compete with.
If AI becomes a normal part of everyday life, this might actually be a negative for the profitability of AI stocks. This happened with the airline industry. Airline travel was a new technology that many were betting on. It did become a hugely important industry, but not necessarily a profitable one, running on extremely slim margins.
All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you’re not sure which investments are right for you, please seek out a financial adviser. Capital at risk.
