15 Hot AI Stocks on Wall Street’s Radar

Page 1 of 14

The AI arms race may seem like a two-nation contest to most, but one other country from Asia is rapidly ramping up its ambitions to join. In the latest news, South Korea has asked some of its biggest companies and promising startups to build a national foundational AI model, largely using domestic technology.

Seoul is aiming to create a near self-sufficient AI industry, aiming to present itself as a viable alternative to China and the U.S. According to the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT), Korea has announced that five consortia have been selected to develop the models. One is led by telecommunications giant SK Telecom, while other teams are led by prominent South Korean firms including LG and Naver.

“We are going through an important juncture in terms of our technological development. So Korea, at the national level, is focusing on ensuring that we lay the technical foundation to have our competitiveness…Korea has many entities that would excel at creating a big AI industry. And we could clearly see the possibility that we are very capable of creating a good AI stack.”

-Kim Taeyoon, head of the foundation model office at SK Telecom who also leads the company’s consortium, told CNBC.

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.

15. SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOUN)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 18

SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOUN) is one of the 15 Hot AI Stocks on Wall Street’s Radar. On August 8,  DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria raised the price target on the stock to $15.00 (from $10.00) while maintaining a Buy rating.

The rating follows in what CEO Keyvan Mohajer called its “strongest ever quarter.” The voice-based artificial-intelligence company beat revenue expectations by a wide margin, with Mohajer noting that businesses are increasingly turning to AI for voice-based customer-service offerings.

It continues to win large new logos which has led to rapid growth in its pipeline.

“SoundHound reported a great quarter significantly beating revenue expectations with sequential growth driven by demand across its product set from all industries. SoundHound continues to win large new logos including major OEMs and restaurants resulting in rapid growth in its pipeline. SoundHound is capturing market share across a massive and underpenetrated TAM while making progress towards profitability. We reiterate our BUY rating and raise our price target to $15.”

SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOUN) is a voice artificial intelligence company offering voice AI solutions to businesses.

14. Informatica Inc. (NYSE:INFA)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 23

Informatica Inc. (NYSE:INFA) is one of the 15 Hot AI Stocks on Wall Street’s Radar. On August 7, Guggenheim analyst Howard Ma downgraded the stock from Buy to Neutral. The downgrade follows Informatica’s second-quarter results, particularly due to the pending acquisition by Salesforce.

The firm said that Informatica will not be hosting an earnings conference call to discuss the quarterly results. It has also declined to provide financial guidance.

“Informatica reported 2Q25 results that were above consensus expectations across the board. In light of the pending transaction with Salesforce (which the company expects to close in Salesforce’s early FY27), Informatica will not be hosting an earnings conference call to review the 2Q results or providing financial guidance. We’re downgrading INFA shares to Neutral from Buy, reflecting the acquisition price of $25/share. Our last published price target was $27.”

Informatica is a leader in enterprise AI-powered cloud data management.

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.
