Better Artificial Intelligence Stock: BigBear.ai vs. Nvidia
Key Points has become an AI investor darling over the past few years. Nvidia is the leading artificial intelligence semiconductor company. There's no substitute for high revenue growth and profitability -- and Nvidia has both. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Many investors are focused on artificial intelligence stocks these days, which can be a smart play as AI transforms many industries. But it's starting to seem like any AI stock is a winner in the market right now, which means some investors may not be doing their due diligence when evaluating companies. With that in mind, two AI companies with surging share prices right now are Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and (NYSE: BBAI), and it may be worth taking a closer look at both to see which one looks like the better AI stock to buy right now. What's happening with Nvidia Nvidia gets top billing in this matchup because the company has experienced monster growth over the past few years as companies clamor for its artificial intelligence semiconductors. An estimated 70% to 95% of data centers utilize Nvidia's AI processors, and there seems to be no slowing down for the company's growth. For example, Nvidia's total sales soared 114% in fiscal 2025 to $130.5 billion, and its earnings skyrocketed 147% to $2.94 per share. This growth has been fueled by the company's data center segment, which experienced a 142% revenue surge to $115 billion last year. The impressive earnings and revenue growth have resulted in Nvidia's stock surging 57% over the past year. That's pushed the company's valuation higher, and Nvidia's shares currently have a price-to-earnings multiple of about 56. That's not cheap, but it's still lower than the average P/E ratio of 64 in the semiconductor industry right now. What's more, Nvidia could continue to benefit from AI investments for many more years to come. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes AI will fuel $2 trillion in data center spending over the next several years. While Nvidia's growth isn't guaranteed, many tech giants have already committed to spending hundreds of billions of dollars to expand their AI data centers over the next few years. That's creating an ongoing opportunity for Nvidia to continue increasing its sales. What's happening with is an AI data analytics company that helps companies and the U.S. government sort through their data to make decisions. AI analytics is a burgeoning AI trend, and it has propelled the stock of similar companies, like Palantir, into the stratosphere. stock, for its part, has jumped 323% over the past year. But despite its impressive gains, there are some significant concerns I have with including its lack of strong revenue growth. sales increased just 5% in Q1 to $34.8 million, and management's outlook for the full year is for $160 million to $180 million -- an increase of just 7.5% at the midpoint. These are fairly unimpressive sales figures for a small AI company that's trying to tap into an expanding artificial intelligence analytics market. One of the company's problems is that 52% of its revenue comes from just four customers. That's a high concentration of sales from just a handful of customers, and it means that if one or two leave, could be in trouble. And then there's the company's lack of earnings. reported a loss of $1.10 per share last year and continued that trend with a loss of $0.25 per share in Q1. While many small start-ups often aren't profitable, it's problematic that the company's lack of earnings comes in addition to unimpressive sales growth. Meanwhile, stock has a price-to-sales ratio of 11, which is substantially higher than the average P/S multiple of 3 for the S&P 500 and means that investors are paying a premium for it right now. Verdict: Nvidia is the hands-down winner Nvidia's stock isn't cheap, and there are always risks with investing in AI stocks that have already experienced astronomical growth. But the company is a hands-down better investment than because it's massively profitable, continually expanding its revenue, and outpaces its rivals in the AI semiconductor market. Meanwhile, stock is overvalued, its revenue growth is unimpressive, and the company isn't profitable. This makes Nvidia the no-brainer in this matchup and one of the best AI stocks to buy and hold for the long term. Should you invest $1,000 in Nvidia right now? Before you buy stock in Nvidia, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Nvidia wasn't one of them.

US, European stock markets tumble on Trump's tariff move; Amazon & Apple shares face heavy selling
New Delhi [India], August 2 (ANI): US stock markets faced heavy selling pressure on Friday (local US time) after President Donald Trump implemented fresh reciprocal tariffs on 70 countries, including India. The new tariffs have raised fears of rising inflation in the US, as imports will become more expensive and prices of goods sold in the country are expected to rise in the coming months. The major US stock indices witnessed sharp declines. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by over 1.2 per cent to close at 43,588.58, down by 542.40 points. The S&P 500 also dropped by 1.6 per cent, losing 101 points to settle at 6,238. The tech-heavy Nasdaq index tanked more than 2.2 per cent, falling by 472 points to close at 20,650. Several major US companies saw their share prices tumble. Amazon Inc. shares on the Nasdaq declined sharply by 8.27 per cent. Shares of tech giant Apple also dropped by 2.5 per cent, reflecting broad-based selling across the technology sector. In a major development, President Trump abruptly fired Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Trump accused her of releasing 'fake' jobs data ahead of the 2024 US Presidential Election in an attempt to support Vice President Kamala Harris. In a social media post, Trump said, 'I was just informed that our Country's 'Jobs Numbers' are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala's chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000.' Trump added, 'These were Records -- No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified.' The panic in global markets extended to Europe as well. Germany's DAX index dropped by more than 2.7 per cent, while France's CAC index fell by 2.99 per cent, showing heavy selling pressure across European markets too. Investors remain concerned over the uncertainty triggered by Trump's tariff move and the possible economic consequences it could bring. (ANI)
