AI-Powered Website Builder: Lightspeed (LSPD) Simplifies Online Store Creation

We recently compiled a list of the Top 8 AI News Updates Investors Shouldn’t Miss. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Lightspeed Commerce Inc. (NYSE:LSPD) stands against the other AI stocks.

On March 19th, the stock market bounced back after the US Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged at 4.25% to 4.5%. The Fed also anticipated two rate cuts this year despite elevated inflation. The S&P 500 index was up over 1%, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped by well over 200 points. The rally was led by the magnificent seven stocks after weeks of market declines amid trade wars and disappointing economic data.

Elsewhere, AI continues to transform industries and individual lives, from AI nurses reshaping hospital care to schools reporting that students are learning faster and more effectively with AI.

Furthermore, AngelList CEO Avlok Kohli claimed that all software companies are AI companies now.

“The enthusiasm into AI actually carries over into everything, which effectively impacts all startups,” said Kohli when asked if investors are as excited about emerging startups outside of AI.

Meanwhile, security risks surrounding AI continue to loom. Computer scientist and AI pioneer Fei-Fei Li co-authored a report suggesting that lawmakers should consider AI risks that “have not yet been observed in the world” when devising AI regulations. The report highlighted that the novel risks posed by AI could require legislation that compels AI developers to publicly report their safety tests and security protocols.

We selected AI stocks by reviewing news articles, stock analysis, and press releases. We listed the stocks in ascending order of their hedge fund sentiment taken from Insider Monkey’s Q4 2024 database of over 1000 hedge funds.

Lightspeed Commerce Inc. (NYSE:LSPD) offers a cloud-based commerce platform for merchants to scale and provide customer experiences for clients in the retail and hospitality sectors as well as golf businesses worldwide.

On March 19th, Lightspeed Commerce Inc. (NYSE:LSPD) announced a new AI-based website-building tool to help retail merchants create web pages for online stores from a screen capture. This technology would eliminate the requirement for manual coding and third-party developers and help them save time and money. The AI website builder is currently available in beta version with select Lightspeed merchants.

“Designing a website in-house can be time-consuming, frustrating, and complex for many merchants. Without design expertise or coding skills, they can often spend significant time experimenting with layouts, adjusting branding elements, and troubleshooting issues to get their store looking just right. Our goal is to remove the friction from website design and give merchants the power to iterate at the speed of commerce. This AI-driven technology is a leap forward in ecommerce efficiency, which can help businesses of all sizes create compelling digital experiences effortlessly.”

-said Dax Dasilva, Founder and CEO at Lightspeed.

Overall, LSPD ranks 6th on our list of top AI news updates investors shouldn’t miss. While we acknowledge the potential of LSPD as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than LSPD but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.

Disclosure: None. This article is originally published at Insider Monkey.

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:
