Tech Stocks That Could Double by 2030: 2 Easy Choices
Pinpointing stocks that can double in under five years is a key skill for investors, allowing them to beat the market with a safety margin. The market tends to double once every seven years, so if it can double in five, there is some wiggle room to allow for outperformance. However, few stocks have this potential, as growth and valuation must be considered when assessing the company. Furthermore, projecting where a business will be five years out is nearly impossible. Take Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) for example. If you knew exactly where Nvidia would be five years in the future, you would have taken out a loan for the biggest amount possible and bought every share of Nvidia you could, as it turned every $10,000 invested into more than $160,000 over the past five years. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » So, what stocks have the potential to double over the next five years? I've got two solid picks. Nvidia Although Nvidia had a monster run-up over the past five years, I think the next five years are just as bright. While Nvidia's jaw-dropping 200% or greater growth is likely over, it still posts incredible results each quarter. Nvidia's strength can be directly tied to the AI arms race, which involves using Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) to train and run AI models. Most estimates state Nvidia has a data center market share of over 90%, which showcases its dominance. Furthermore, data center buildouts aren't slowing down and are expected to increase over the next few years. This bodes well for Nvidia's future, although it's also doing incredibly well right now. In the company's first quarter of fiscal 2026 (ending April 28), Nvidia's revenue increased 69% year over year to $44 billion. That growth would have been even greater if the U.S. government hadn't imposed export restrictions on Nvidia's H20 chips, but that's water under the bridge. Looking forward, Nvidia still expects 50% growth for Q2, which is impressive considering how rapidly Nvidia has grown over the past few years. Nvidia is still growing and is likely to post revenue growth above the threshold necessary to double within five years (a 15% growth rate is necessary to double in five years). As a result, I think it's an easy pick for a stock that can double in five years. Taiwan Semiconductor Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE: TSM) is also an easy pick for a company that can double within the next five years. Nearly every major tech company that uses cutting-edge chips in its devices (like Nvidia) gets its chips from TSMC. As a result, Taiwan Semiconductor is very clear about what chip demand holds over the next few years. Management issued guidance at the beginning of 2025 that AI-related revenue would grow at a 45% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years, which helps power overall revenue growth to a near-20% CAGR over that same time frame. That puts TSMC well above the threshold of a 15% CAGR needed to achieve a doubling within five years. As an added bonus, Taiwan Semiconductor isn't all that expensive, trading for 22.9 times forward earnings. NVDA PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts That's much cheaper than Nvidia, which has a premium valuation due to its high growth levels. It's also around the same price as the S&P 500, which trades at 22.5 times forward earnings. Taiwan Semiconductor and Nvidia are no-brainer picks for stocks that can double within five years. With how heavily AI-related tailwinds are blowing in these two companies' favor, I'd be shocked if they didn't double, which is why they are two of the largest holdings in my personal portfolio.

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.

AI Beyond Data Centers: 3 Stocks Poised to Dominate AI's Next Big Move
The world is gearing up for artificial intelligence (AI), which researchers believe could unleash between $15 trillion and $23 trillion in annual economic value by 2040. AI could be a game-changer for countless industries and will likely create new market opportunities in the process. Currently, most of Wall Street has focused on companies like Nvidia, which are selling billions of dollars worth of chips and hardware for AI data centers. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Eventually, though, AI will move beyond its hyperfocus on data centers into the real world, and that presents a huge market opportunity that investors are only just beginning to position their portfolios for. Three Motley Fool analysts put their heads together. They arrived at Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD), and Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ: HOOD) as technology leaders in excellent position to capitalize on AI tailwinds that could drive growth for years to come. Here is what you need to know. Apple's ecosystem is a leg up on the competition in personal devices Justin Pope (Apple): Smartphones have become handheld computers, the central technology hub for people living their daily lives. It makes Apple a clear favorite as AI software becomes increasingly integrated into society. The company's iOS mobile operating system spans phones, accessories, watches, tablets, and computers that all work seamlessly together, creating a formidable competitive moat. In other words, the more iOS devices you use, the more of a pain it is to abandon the system for something else. Today, that iOS user base spans 2.35 billion devices. It's the perfect distribution network for AI software. But it has become evident that the company's first attempt at AI, Apple Intelligence, hasn't gone off with a bang. Fortunately for Apple, its system's stickiness gives the iPhone maker room for error that most brands don't have. There's a solid chance that the company will eventually work out these kinks and deploy its consumer-facing AI technology across billions of devices, whether smartphones or other device using its far-reaching iOS platform. Most companies will build AI and then try to find customers -- Apple already has customers, it just needs to develop and ship good software. The company is a behemoth today, and probably won't grow fast enough to replicate its past investment returns. Still, there may be no better-positioned consumer-facing business ready to capitalize on AI's potential than Apple, and that's an advantage the company should retain for as long as people stay within its iOS system. The stock has become a slower and steadier grower with a rising dividend, making it an ideal investment to stash in a long-term portfolio and take advantage of dividend reinvesting, letting Apple compound for as long as people continue to upgrade their devices. AI-driven insights could be game-changing for this stock Will Healy (The Trade Desk): The Trade Desk is in a sweet spot when it comes to capitalizing on AI. It operates a buy-side platform that companies and ad agencies use to purchase ad space ideally suited for targeting demographics, thereby maximizing returns on ad spending. It is currently migrating clients from its old platform, Solimar, to its AI-driven Kokai platform, which offers users enhanced AI to improve ad bidding, targeting, and budgeting for ad buys. Also, its measuring and forecasting functions offer improved insights and predictive capabilities. Investors may not be aware of how much impact such improvements could have for the global digital ad market and, by extension, its investors. Research and Markets predicts a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14% between 2022 and 2030 for the digital advertising industry. Hence, this market will grow to around $1.5 trillion by 2030 if Research and Markets' forecast comes to pass. In the first quarter of 2025, The Trade Desk reported $616 million in revenue, a 25% increase from year-ago levels. Still, since that amounts to revenue of just under $2.6 billion over the trailing 12 months, the company claims well under 1% of the addressable market. It's consistently profitable. In the first quarter, it earned nearly $51 million in net income, a 60% yearly increase. And investors may recall the massive sell-off after the company failed to meet its own revenue projection in the fourth quarter. The silver lining is that the recent declines have taken its forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) to 40. That multiple does not make this stock cheap, though it is down from a forward P/E of more than 80 in December. This means investors can capitalize on this potentially lucrative opportunity without paying an uncomfortably high premium, making The Trade Desk particularly attractive to AI-focused investors. AI is coming to financial services Jake Lerch (Robinhood Markets): As AI software begins to truly take off, one area to watch is financial services. Specifically, investment advisory and brokerage services. The company I'm keeping a close eye on is Robinhood Markets. Robinhood is one of the fastest-growing brokerages, with revenue increases of 50% as of its most recent quarter (ending on March 31). And with shares up more than 200% over the last 12 months, it's clear that investors are excited about the company's performance. However, Robinhood's AI initiatives are an under-the-radar asset that could grow in importance in the coming years. For example, last July, it acquired Pluto, an AI investment research company. Pluto's data analytics capabilities and algorithms can provide Robinhood customers with insights into market and financial data as well as key trends. It can also provide real-time reviews of a customer's investment portfolio, highlighting risks and suggesting strategies based on the person's risk tolerance, age, investment style, and goals. Some of these tools will likely be incorporated into Robinhood's Cortex, an AI investment tool that the company plans to roll out later this year. Cortex will form an integral part of Robinhood's strategy of bringing a private wealth management experience to the everyday investor. By providing personalized investment analysis and portfolio management to each customer, the company hopes to grow its assets under management (AUM), which already stand at more than $200 billion. And as its AUM grows, so should the company's revenue, net income, and free cash flow. In summary, AI will continue to become more central to all aspects of the economy. In retail investing, customers will come to expect personalized analysis and advice, and Robinhood is positioning itself to be a leader within that space. Should you invest $1,000 in Apple right now?

Taiwan adds China's Huawei and SMIC to export control list
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwan's Commerce Ministry has added Chinese chipmakers Huawei Technologies and Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC) to its export control list, as trade and technology frictions between the self-ruled island, China and the United States increase. Inclusion on the 'strategic high-tech commodities' list means Taiwanese companies will need to obtain export permits before selling goods to the respective companies. Other entities on the list include organizations such as the Taliban and al-Qaeda, as well as other companies in China, Iran and elsewhere. The export control entities list was last updated on Sunday. Neither Huawei nor SMIC initially commented on their inclusion. Huawei and SMIC have both been sanctioned by the U.S. The two companies are producing China's most advanced homegrown artificial intelligence chips in an effort to compete with U.S.-based Nvidia and supply Chinese tech firms with the much-needed chips amid export curbs. Taiwan is home the world's largest chipmaker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), a major supplier for Nvidia. Last November, the U.S. ordered TSMC to halt supplies of certain advanced chips to Chinese customers as part of broader efforts to restrict China's access to cutting-edge technologies. China claims self-ruled Taiwan as its own territory, to be annexed by force if necessary. The U.S. is Taiwan's biggest unofficial ally and arms seller.
