Page 1 of 9

OpenAI, the startup known to have started the AI arms race through its chatbot ChatGPT, is hitting new milestones as it soars to new heights. The company is all set to reach the 700 weekly active users mark for ChatGPT this week, up from 500 million in March.

This marks more than a fourfold year-over-year surge in growth for the conversational AI chatbot.

“Every day, people and teams are learning, creating, and solving harder problems.”

-Nick Turley, VP of product for ChatGPT.

The company’s paying business users on ChatGPT have also surged from three million in June to five million.

While ChatGPT may be growing tremendously, it is yet to reach the reported number of user numbers for Google’s AI Overviews, which boasts two billion monthly users across 200 countries.

Nevertheless, all kinds of AI chatbots, whether its ChatGPT or AI Overviews, are not only transforming how we search and process information, but also fueling an intense race amongst tech giants to dominate an AI-enabled future.

For this article, we selected AI stocks by going through news articles, stock analysis, and press releases. These stocks are also popular among hedge funds. The hedge fund data is as of Q1 2025.

Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter’s strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points  (see more details here).

The company raised its full-year 2025 revenue guidance, projecting growth for its US commercial business due to strong adoption of its Artificial Intelligence platform among enterprise and federal customers.

Analysts led by Ives particularly cited continued hyper growth demand for Palantir’s AI product suite behind the rating affirmation and price target raise.

“We maintain our OUTPERFORM rating on PLTR while raising our price target from $160 to $200 reflecting continued hyper growth demand for the company’s AI product suite with the use case era of the AI Revolution now here. This was another eye-popping quarter for the Messi of AI as AIP continues gaining unprecedented interest across the commercial landscape with US Commercial front and center seeing 93% y/y growth with more enterprises looking to PLTR for complex AI use cases.”

The firm believes Palantir has the potential to be a trillion dollar market cap as the artificial intelligence revolutions gains ground.

“We believe Palantir has a “golden path to become the next Oracle” over the coming years and will grow into its valuation.”

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) is a leading provider of artificial intelligence systems.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:

A few years from now, you’ll wish you’d owned this stock.

My name is Inan Dogan. I’m the co-founder and Research Director of Insider Monkey. I have an important message for you today.

Since March 2017, my stock picks have returned 16.5% annually. Today, I’ve found an opportunity even bigger than my British American Tobacco call.

Two years ago, Wall Street wrote off British American Tobacco (BTI) as a “melting ice cube.” The stock had crashed 40% from its peak, and consensus said the business was dying.

We looked under the cover and realized they were wrong.

We alerted our subscribers, and BTI returned 90% in just 16 months.

Now if you had invested just $10,000 in BTI in June 2024, you’d be sitting on $19,000 in October 2025.

Today, we have identified a nearly identical pattern in a digital-first giant trading at $3.

While the market panics over a surface-level revenue decline, our PhD-led research shows management has actually surgically cut $100 million in waste to focus on high-margin growth.

This pattern is a hallmark of our 16.5% annual return track record. The current opportunity offers a 400% upside potential—dwarfing even our 90% BTI return.

Get the ticker for our new “Underdog” pick and the full BTI case study for just 99 cents.
