In Japan, multinational conglomerate Softbank has partnered with chipmaker NVIDIA in a partnership that aims to turn communication base stations from cost centers into AI revenue-producing assets. The latter claims that traditional telco networks are built to handle peak loads and usually use only about one-third of their capacity. With AI-RAN, a new communications tech, they can expect to monetize the remaining two-thirds of the capacity for AI inference services. Softbank estimates a return of up to 219% for every AI-RAN server it adds to its infrastructure.

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META)

Market Capitalization: $1.5 Trillion

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) engages in the development of products that enable people to connect and share with friends and family. Investment advisory Morgan Stanley recently penned an investor note to clients on the AI landscape, noting that a latest survey by the advisory shows a low double-digit percentage of US users are using ChatGPT, Gemini and Meta AI daily, similar to what Facebook saw in 2009. The analysts added that innovation across the generative AI space — including new models that have increased reasoning and agent potential — were important to driving further adoption, differentiation and monetization of GenAI.

Overall, META ranks 5th on our list of AI news and ratings you should not miss. While we acknowledge the potential of META 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 time frame.
