Data center spending is projected to exceed $7 trillion over the next five years, with over $5 trillion allocated for AI processing.
Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG, GOOGL) has enjoyed a recent stock increase of about 15% in the past month, buoyed by an 11.7% growth in Google Search revenue year-over-year. Analysts forecast continued earnings growth at over 14% annually, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 21 supporting investor confidence.
ASML Holding (NASDAQ: ASML) has faced a stock decline of 24% over the past year, largely due to tariff uncertainties impacting its business outlook, despite the company’s pivotal role in manufacturing equipment for high-end microchips.
