3. Core Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ:CORZ)
Core Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ:CORZ) stock has historically faced volatility due to Bitcoin roots. However, unlike institutional investors who focus on the crypto aspect, social media experts are increasingly viewing the company as one of the most undervalued winners of the AI data center super-cycle. These experts have pointed to the transition of the business from pure Bitcoin mining to High-Performance Computing (HPC) hosting. In the Q4 2025 results, while self-mining revenue fell, colocation revenue surged 268% to $31.3 million. Some influencers have projected that by the end of 2026, HPC will account for 71% of total revenue. There is also social media buzz that the firm has secured massive, multi-billion dollar hosting contracts with AI cloud provider CoreWeave.
This partnership is important because it also allows Core Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ:CORZ) capex efficiency. Earlier this year, the company revealed that roughly $226 million of capital expenditures were funded by its tenant CoreWeave. This allows Core to build out state-of-the-art AI data centers without the dilutive equity raises that have plagued other miners. Besides these catalysts, TikTokers are also focusing on the power factor. Earlier this month, the company announced plans to expand its Pecos, Texas campus to 1.5 Gigawatts of gross power. High-voltage power permits and grid connections currently have 5-to-7-year lead times. Even institutional investors believe the replacement cost of CORZ’s infrastructure is significantly higher than its current market valuation.
2. Nebius Group N.V. (NASDAQ:NBIS)
Nebius Group N.V. (NASDAQ:NBIS) is attracting interest from finance influencers on social media because of the sheer scale of the company’s order book with the largest tech companies. The firm has a contracted backlog approaching $50 billion. This is anchored by a massive $27 billion contract with Meta and a $19.4 billion deal with Microsoft for dedicated AI compute capacity over the next five years. Due to this, as Instagram experts have noted, analysts expect revenue to jump over 520% in 2026 to roughly $3.45 billion. Management has guided for an Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) run-rate between $7 billion and $9 billion by the end of 2026 as new clusters go live.
TikTokers have highlighted that a major catalyst for Nebius Group N.V. (NASDAQ:NBIS) has been the $643 million acquisition of Eigen AI, announced early this month. This deal integrates model-optimization and inference technology directly into the Token Factory platform of the firm. Per finance influencers, by transitioning from just Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) to Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Nebius is expected to see significant margin expansion. These finance experts argue that this moves Nebius away from being a commodity hardware provider toward being a high-margin software-plus-infrastructure play.
1. Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE:VRT)
Finance experts on social media are highlighting the latest earnings from Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE:VRT) to expand on the bull thesis for the firm. Vertiv recently reported an 83% year-over-year increase in adjusted EPS, $1.17 versus $1 forecast. Organic sales surged 23%, led by a massive 44% expansion in the Americas due to insatiable AI demand. Management raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $13.5 billion to $14 billion, with an adjusted EPS target of $6.30–$6.40. The financial blowout is built on the dominance of the firm in liquid cooling. As AI chips push power densities to unprecedented levels, traditional air cooling is no longer sufficient. Vertiv has positioned itself as the market leader in the transition to liquid cooling. The company is doubling down on this position. It recently acquired Strategic Thermal Labs and PurgeRite. These deals strengthen the critical interface between the server-side liquid cooling and the supporting infrastructure.
Even as rivals like Eaton or Schneider Electric compete in power, Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE:VRT) has a specialized focus on modular, liquid-cooled AI racks that allows it to capture higher margins. Adjusted operating margins reached 20.8% in Q1 2026, a 430 basis point improvement over last year. Influencers have pointed out that with data centers now being deployed at gigawatt scale, the expertise of the firm in high-voltage DC power architectures and on-site energy generation via natural gas turbines has become a competitive advantage. The use of Digital Twin technology by the company and prefabricated modular designs has also reduced deployment timelines by up to 50%.
While we acknowledge the potential of VRT to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
