#3 Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 275

Alphabet was the stock Redditors named most often. Many of them called it cheap and said it was a good time to buy. They like its advertising business, its growing Google Cloud unit, and its large spending on AI. Others pointed to YouTube, Waymo, and its stake in SpaceX as extra sources of value. One Redditor who calls Alphabet a top holding said the stock looks less cheap once its investments are removed from the earnings multiple. Alphabet was also the best-performing stock in Claude’s AI stock portfolio this year. Click to see the full story.

Alphabet Inc. shares fell about 12% after the latest results, but bulls say now is the time to buy. They think the three things investors sold on do not change how much money Google can earn in the next few years. Revenue came in slightly below analyst estimates, and management blamed a currency headwind. Earnings per share fell 26% because Google booked a paper loss on its stake in SpaceX.

The bigger reason bulls like the stock is Google Cloud, the unit that rents computing power and AI tools to companies. Its revenue grew 103% from a year earlier, up from 82% in the prior quarter, and its operating margin jumped to 36.2% from 23.7%. Customers have signed contracts for cloud services that Google has not delivered yet, and Google expects to turn just over 55% of that backlog into revenue over the next 24 months. Nearly 100 customers already use Google’s own AI chips, called TPUs, and the Gemini app passed 1 billion users.

Search is the part that worried investors, because its revenue growth slowed to 12% from 17% in the prior quarter. Management said the slowdown came from currency moves, a new EU rule that hurt retail advertisers in Asia, and World Cup ad spending that landed in June instead of July. Management also attributed part of the slowdown to users shifting toward AI Mode, where Google is still developing its advertising business. That shift raises questions about whether Google can monetize AI searches as effectively as traditional searches.

But bulls say Alphabet can monetize its AI mode too and it just needs time to show in the results. Google is bringing ads to AI Mode, its AI search tool, in international markets for the first time. Management said clicks on sponsored product listings in AI Mode already match clicks on regular listings. Most AI Mode queries are new searches people would not have made before, and they run 3 times longer than regular ones. Management also said comparisons with last year get easier starting in the first quarter of 2027.

#2 NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 285

One Redditor has held Nvidia since 2014, has taken profits along the way, and plans to hold it for another 10 years. Another thinks the growth continues but is not sure it lasts the full decade. A third listed Nvidia with ASML and Alphabet as companies with very strong competitive advantages. One Redditor who owns the stock worried that Nvidia’s biggest customers are building their own chips. According to his disclosures, President Trump’s portfolio bought Nvidia repeatedly in July and August 2026. The stock is one of the four stocks in our list of the President Trump and Nancy Pelosi portfolio top picks. Click to see the other three.

Bulls believe Nvidia Corporation shares can still grow because customers want more chips than Nvidia can make. Management expects Nvidia’s revenue to grow 70% in fiscal 2028. CEO Jensen Huang says customer demand is growing well above 70%, and that the forecast stays at 70% only because Nvidia cannot build more chips than that.

Alphabet designs its own AI chips and still plans to use up to 960,000 of Nvidia’s newest Vera Rubin chips, which shows that even a company that can build its own chips has found no replacement for Nvidia’s.

Bears see a stock that has already had its best run because Nvidia now pays part of its customers’ bills to keep sales coming. Smaller AI cloud companies rent out computing power but lack the cash to build data centers fast enough. So Nvidia has promised to cover the cost of land, power, and buildings if those customers cannot pay.

#1 Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 369

Several Redditors picked Amazon on their own. The most detailed argument was about its warehouses. That Redditor expects robots to cut Amazon’s costs once they run across its fulfillment centers, which would lift profit. Another pointed to Amazon’s record of entering new markets and its many growth projects. Amazon is the top AI stock pick of Jim Cramer and billionaire Ken Fisher, and we looked at whether it is a buy ahead of its earnings report. Check the full analysis here.

Amazon.com, Inc. benefits from AI demand in two ways. Amazon Web Services is the largest cloud provider, and every company that builds AI tools needs a place to run them. Amazon also owns a stake in Anthropic, a leading AI model maker, so it earns from AI as a landlord and as an investor. The shopping side has its own edge. Amazon runs its own delivery network, which lets it ship fast, and fast shipping keeps Prime members buying.

Amazon spends so much on data centers and chips that its operating cash flow does not cover the bill. Net debt has grown over the last few quarters, and the stock depends on investors staying patient while that continues. If AI demand slows, Amazon holds a lot of expensive data centers and a bigger debt load. The shopping business also faces rising fuel costs for its trucks and planes, which squeeze margins. Amazon.com, Inc. booked a one-time gain on its Anthropic stake, so profit growth looks weaker without it.
