You might expect a technology that literally owes its existence to artificial intelligence (AI) to be bullish on AI stocks, and that’s the case with Grok and other AI chatbots.
Despite fears that the AI bubble could soon burst, Grok named AI-related stocks as the best bets for 2026. That view is also shared by fellow chatbots ChatGPT and Google Gemini — along with stock experts of the human variety. According to The Motley Fool’s 2026 AI Investor Outlook Report, fewer than 10% of AI investors plan to reduce their AI stock exposure over the next year.
Roughly 60% of all survey respondents said they are “confident” in AI stocks’ long-term returns, which suggests that investors are “buying into AI’s potential for long-term growth even amid short-term volatility.”
GOBankingRates asked Grok and two other AI chatbots which stocks to invest in for 2026. Here’s a look at the six stocks that topped the list.
Nvidia (NVDA)
- Current stock price (as of Jan. 7): $188.67 per share
- One-year gain/loss: 34.63%
The world’s biggest company by market cap continued its hot streak in 2025 and is expected to do the same in 2026. Nvidia was mentioned as one of the top stocks to invest in by Grok, ChatGPT and Gemini.
Grok cited Nvidia’s “dominance” in AI chips and said the company should benefit from “ongoing hyperscaler spending” and new chip releases.
Here’s what the others had to say:
- ChatGPT: Nvidia is a “top AI play with continued demand for GPUs and data-center infrastructure.”
- Google Gemini: Nvidia remains the “gold standard” for AI chips, and its forward price-to-earnings ratio is “considered reasonable relative to its growth.”
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM)
- Current stock price (as of Jan. 7): $324.38 per share
- One-year gain/loss: 53.43%
Grok calls Taiwan Semiconductor a “key foundry for AI chips” that’s “positioned for strong demand and pricing power,” largely thanks to heavy capital expenditures from clients like Nvidia and Amazon.
ChatGPT and Google Gemini also listed the company among their top stocks thanks to heavy AI chip demand.
Microsoft (MSFT)
- Current stock price (as of Jan. 7): $484.34 per share
- One-year gain/loss: 14.67%
The software giant earned a “notable mention” from Grok due to the “potential of its cloud/AI integration businesses.” Here’s what the other AI chatbots had to say:
- ChatGPT: Microsoft will get a “big AI push with Azure cloud expansion and Copilot.”
- Google Gemini: Microsoft’s “dominance in enterprise software” and “early monetization of generative AI tools” have it well positioned to keep growing in 2026.
Broadcom (AVGO)
- Current stock price (as of Jan. 7): $341.29 per share
- One-year gain/loss: 49.27%
Broadcom is “strong in custom silicon and networking for AI,” according to Grok, which has helped it achieve “high market share and profitability” during the AI chip surge.
ChatGPT also listed Broadcom among its top stocks based on the company’s “high-growth revenue outlook.”
Amazon (AMZN)
- Current stock price (as of Jan. 7): $242.64 per share
- One-year gain/loss: 9.25%
Amazon didn’t exactly set Wall Street on fire in 2025, but that could change in 2026 if its Amazon Web Services (AWS) continues to benefit from the AI boom. Amazon is “frequently recommended for rebound and diversified AI exposure,” Grok explained.
ChatGPT offered a similar assessment, saying that the combination of e-commerce, cloud (AWS) and AI services make Amazon a “diversified growth pick.”
Alphabet (GOOG)
- Current stock price (as of Jan. 7): $322.02 per share
- One-year gain/loss: 63.7%
Grok lauded Alphabet’s AI advancements in search/cloud and said the company is “seen as undervalued relative to growth potential,” while ChatGPT said Alphabet’s search, AI and cloud business expansion are “supportive of long-term growth.”
