15 Best NASDAQ Stocks To Buy Today

In this piece, we will take a look at 15 best NASDAQ stocks to buy today. If you want to skip our analysis of the stock market, market indexes, and recent developments, head on over to 5 Best NASDAQ Stocks To Buy Today.

The U.S. economy finally appears to be stabilizing. Throughout 2023, worries of a recession have plagued investor minds as many worried that the Federal Reserve had gone too far in its interest rate hikes. However, June dealt markets a nice surprise as the Commerce Department upgraded its estimates for the first quarter of 2023’s GDP growth. This third revision showed that the economy had posted an annual growth rate of 2% in Q1 2023, up by 70 basis points (0.7%) from the previous estimates.

This data came as two and a half days of trading were left before the 4th of July holiday, and after opening at 13,592 on the day of the release, the NASDAQ Composite index closed at 13,816 the day before the holiday to pocket a modest 1.6% growth. The effect of this release was also reflected in the currency markets, with the U.S. dollar tumbling against major currencies as investors readjusted their sentiments of potential interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve.

Crucially though, 2023’s first half has proven to be remarkable for the stock market. The NASDAQ Composite and NASDAQ 100 are up by 33% and 40% this year (its best first half performance in history) – quite different from what many investors were expecting heading into this year riding on the back of high interest rates and high inflation. The two NASDAQs are also among the best performing indexes this year, as the S&P500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average have gained 16.51% and 3.87%, respectively.

The NASDAQ also ranks second on the list of the world’s biggest stock exchanges. As of January 2023, the total market capitalization of all firms listed on it stood at $18 trillion – surpassed only by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) which had a market capitalization of $22 trillion. This value is greater than the world’s third and fourth biggest stock exchanges, namely the Euronext N.V. exchanges and the Japan Exchange Group Exchanges.

Yet, even as the stock market appears to be robust, the debate has already started about a bigger market – the bond market. The apparent simmering upshoots of negativity in the bond market came to the forefront on the same day that Commerce upgraded its GDP estimates. In an opinion piece, former New York Federal Reserve president Bill Dudley claimed that the yields on 10 year U.S. bonds will shoot up to 4.5% – up from the roughly 3.75% right now. He explained that due to the tight labor market, persistent inflation, and robust economy, the Fed might be forced to maintain high interest rates for longer. He also added that the Fed is also forced to ensure that inflation remains around 2% since if it falls too much then its utility to stimulate economic growth also falls. Finally, he factored in the reduced demand for U.S. government treasuries to indicate that the risk premium investors demand for these bonds will go up. Putting all these together, he arrived at a 4.5% yield estimate – and one that has generated quite a bit of controversy.

Leading the charge against the former Fed official with years of experience in investment banking, are analysts from Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS). They believe that instead of the yields shooting up to 4.5% (which indicates a sharp decrease in the bond price and creates an incentive for existing bondholders to sell their instruments), the yields will actually drop to 2% and 3% from the current 3.85%. They also countered the components of Mr. Dudley’s 4.5% estimate, namely the one involving 1% short term interest rates. The Morgan Stanley analysts believe that short term rates can increase to a maximum 0.5%, with average inflation expected to sit at 2% instead of 2.5% over the long term as assumed by Dudley.

But what if both stocks and bonds were headed for a downturn this year? Well, that’s what’s on the mind of the world’s largest hedge fund Bridgewater Associate’s co-chief investment officer Mr. Greg Jensen, who outlined in a recent podcast:

My view is you end up with growth disappointing a bit and inflation disappointing on the high side a bit, ending up probably bad for bonds and probably a little bit bad for equities and generally weak growth. And if that weak growth starts to translate into a rising savings rate, you could easily end up in a recession and one that’s going to be difficult to deal with. I’ve tamed and we’ve tamed at Bridgewater, to some degree, our view on growth. While still negative, [IT’S] not as extreme as it appeared and it’s a more gradual process that’s unfolding.

With these details in mind, let’s take a look at some top NASDAQ stocks that might be interesting to look at. Out of these, the notable picks are DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ:DXCM), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), and WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:WSC).

Our Methodology

To compile our list of the best NASDAQ stocks, we first started by compiling a list of the biggest companies on the exchange in terms of market capitalization. However, this naturally biases the list in favor of mega cap stocks, leaving little utility to our list of top NASDAQ stocks. So, we filtered the list by including only those firms that were rated Hold or better. While choosing stocks rated Hold sounds counterintuitive, it provides a better contrast between analyst sentiment and hedge fund sentiment since some Hold stocks might have more investors than Buy stocks. The list was narrowed down to stocks with a market capitalization greater than $2 billion. These were ranked by analyst sentiment. Out of the top forty stocks in the list, the ones with the highest number of hedge fund investors in Q1 2023 were chosen for our list of the best NASDAQ stocks to buy.

AI, Tariffs, Nuclear Power: One Undervalued Stock Connects ALL the Dots (Before It Explodes!)

Published on June 23, 2025 at by Inan Dogan, PhD

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

The AI infrastructure supercycle
The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
A surge in U.S. LNG exports
And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.

As an investor, you want to be on the side of the winners, and AI is the winning ticket.

The Talent Pool is Overflowing: The world’s brightest minds are flocking to AI.

From computer scientists to mathematicians, the next generation of innovators is pouring its energy into this field.

This influx of talent guarantees a constant stream of groundbreaking ideas and rapid advancements.

By investing in AI, you’re essentially backing the future.

The future is powered by artificial intelligence, and the time to invest is NOW.

Don’t be a spectator in this technological revolution.

Dive into the AI gold rush and watch your portfolio soar alongside the brightest minds of our generation.

This isn’t just about making money – it’s about being part of the future.
