1 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Semiconductor Stock to Buy on the Dip Hand Over Fist Right Now (Hint: It's Not Nvidia or AMD)
Chip stocks are sliding, and one critical player looks too cheap to ignore.
Chipsets known as graphics processing units (GPUs) are perhaps the most important hardware in generative AI development right now. For the last couple of years, investing in semiconductor stocks has generally been a great idea -- as you're nearly guaranteed some form of exposure to GPUs or data centers.
However, 2025 hasn't gotten off to the best start for chip stocks.
Whether it was drama brought on by Chinese start-up DeepSeek, U.S. President Donald Trump's new tariffs, or lofty investor expectations, many names in the chip realm haven't fared so well this year. From a macro perspective, the VanEck Semiconductor ETF has dropped 4% so far in 2025 (as of March 3). When it comes to specific companies, take Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices, which have seen their stocks decline by 7% and 17%, respectively, so far this year.
