OpenAI, the AI startup of ChatGPT fame, recently urged the United States government and allies to come together to develop the AI infrastructure needed to compete with China. According to a report published by Bloomberg, the startup has said that the US and neighboring countries should form a North American Compact for AI that can streamline access to talent, financing and supply chains for building out the technology. The company further added this collaboration could later expand to include a global network of US allies and partners, including countries in the Middle East.

It also proposed expanding nuclear energy capacity by tapping the US Navy, which has built compact reactors to power submarines.

ON Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:ON)

Market Capitalization: $29 Billion   

ON Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:ON) provides intelligent sensing and power solutions in the United States and internationally. The firm markets innovative power supply solutions used to power high-density servers that can handle the larger data loads and intense power consumption required to power many Gen-AI applications and tools. For example, the multiphase controllers of ON are able to accurately and quickly supply power to all server racks in AI data centers, making them more energy efficient compared to competitors. On November 11, Loop Capital analyst Gary Mobley initiated coverage of the stock with a Buy rating and $95 price target. The company has been a consensus short since late 2023 or once automotive tier-one names began bringing down days of inventory held amid a backdrop of flattening light vehicle production, the advisory told investors in a research note. While cyclical headwinds may limit ON’s bounce off the bottom, however, the advisory believes that investors should overweight stocks with high exposure to the automotive end market and overweight the companies exposed to the fastest growing automotive trends like powertrain electrification and AD/ADAS.

Overall, ON ranks 12th on our list of trending AI stocks on latest news and analyst ratings. While we acknowledge the potential of ON as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter timeframe. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than ON but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
