12. Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 33

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) develops and manufactures high performance server and storage solutions based on modular and open architecture. On December 3, Wedbush maintained a Neutral rating on the stock with a price target of $24. In an investor note, the advisory underlined that findings from Supermicro’s special committee were a net positive for the company. Wedbush presumes Supermicro’s new auditor, BDO, was apprised of the findings as well as the suggested solution and is okay with the suggested course of action. Assuming this is the case, with no changes to financials, there should not be any impediment to Supermicro eventually filing its delayed financials within the course of a typical extension provided by the Nasdaq, the advisory told investors in a research note. As such, Wedbush believes the risk of a delisting appears to have been minimized.

11. Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:DELL)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 60

Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:DELL) designs, develops, manufactures, markets, sells, and supports various comprehensive and integrated solutions, products, and services. Vivek Mohindra, the senior vice president of corporate strategy at Dell, recently appeared on the CXO Spice podcast.

The executive referenced Dell’s PowerEdge XE9680 Rack Server as the mainstay of the industry, and highlighted that it included Intel Gaudi 3 and executed all kinds of workloads for AI, GenAI, large language models, and deep learning.

10. ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:ASML)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 64

ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:ASML) makes and sells advanced semiconductor equipment systems. The shares of the firm have rallied since it issued a statement on December 2 detailing that the new semiconductor export curb control rules enacted by the Biden administration would not impact previously issued financial guidance for next year. The firm also affirmed that long-term demand scenarios will not be impacted by the new regulations, as these scenarios were based on global demand. The chip firm said it was fully committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations, including export control legislation.

9. Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:WDC)

Citi’s memory analyst revised down 2025 NAND selling price growth forecasts to down 2% year-over-year from up 5% prior due to weaker than expected mobile and PC demand in the first half of the year, with an anticipated turnaround beginning Q3 of 2025.

8. Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 68

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) markets key technologies for smart devices. On December 3, investment advisory Bank of America maintained an Underperform rating on the stock with a price target of $21. In an investor note, the advisory detailed that after Intel announced the unexpected retirement of CEO Pat Gelsinger, the transition does not come as a complete surprise given that Gelsinger’s IDM 2.0 strategy hasn’t yielded much fruit to date. The advisory said it now sees a greater possibility that Intel considers separating its Products and Foundry arms, which would grant both businesses their much-needed operational and financial independence, but also noted that there remain key hurdles to a full separation and that both businesses are undergoing their own strategic, structural, financial, and competitive issues, with no near term solution in sight.

Finance news expert Adam Clark recently opined in a piece for finance publication Barron’s that the focus of the AI industry will inevitably shift from training to inference as AI firms face challenges in their quest to build ever-larger AI models.

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

Published on May 16, 2026 at by Inan Dogan, PhD

Dr. Ian Dogan

Co-Founder and Research Director at Insider Monkey

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.

The best part? You can discover everything about this company and its groundbreaking technology right now.

Buy This $3 Stock Now Before the 400% Surge Begins

Published on May 15, 2026 at by Inan Dogan, PhD

Co-Founder and Research Director at Insider Monkey

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.

This exclusive offer is for NEW newsletter subscribers ONLY! Join our Premium Readership Newsletter for only $0.99 and become part of a savvy investor community.!

This offer vanishes in 7 days, so don’t miss your chance to lock in market beating returns! Sign up NOW! The monthly newsletter comes with a 30-day, no-risk money-back guarantee. This offer is available to the first 1000 new investors who respond.
