Top Two AI Stocks For 2026

The dominant theme in the US stock market was AI in 2025, and it will stay like that for 2026 and beyond. Although some investors are not getting tired of hearing the AI again and again, it is here to stay.

So, if the AI is here to stay, then it only makes sense to also invest in AI stocks. With that in mind, we have picked Nvidia (NVDA) and Broadcom (AVGO) as the best AI stocks for 2026.

Nvidia

NVIDIA remains at the top AI stock for 2026, and its performance in the last few years proves it. The AI infrastructure just can't exist without chips, and one of the leading chipmakers is Nvidia.

The chips made by Nvidia are also top of the line, and there is no other firm that can make GPUs like them. Looking ahead, analysts think the spending on AI infrastructure will continue to stay high in the next few years.

And the one company that will benefit from this increased spending on AI infrastructure is Nvidia. Also, the Nvidia management has forecasted that the spending on global data centers will increase to $3 trillion - $4 trillion by the year 2030.

If the spending is indeed near these levels, then a big portion of that will also get into Nvidia. So, the best AI stock to own for the next 5 years is Nvidia without any doubt.

Broadcom

Broadcom (AVG) has taken a slightly different approach when it comes to AI hardware. The company is not making general-purpose GPUs, which makes it different from Nvidia.

Broadcom is actually developing special ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits) for its clients. These chips can be used for different tasks, but they are made to handle certain tasks exceptionally well.

The only downside is that these chips are best suited for specific workloads. But these chips are cheaper and offer good performance, which makes them ideal for the AI companies.

According to analysts, huge growth is expected for Broadcom's core business in 2026 and the next few years.
