Investors are expressing concern that AI stocks may be overvalued, reminiscent of the late 1990s dot-com bubble. In light of this, investment analysts recommend diversifying investments, suggesting streaming company Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) with a market cap of $426 billion and convenience store chain Casey’s General Stores (NASDAQ: CASY) with a market cap of $21.1 billion as top alternatives.
As of July 31, 2025, Netflix’s revenue increased 17% to $11.51 billion with an earnings per share (EPS) growth of 8.7%. Meanwhile, Casey’s reported an 11% revenue increase to $4.57 billion with a 20% rise in net income year-over-year. Notably, both companies have shown resilience during economic downturns, with Netflix’s stock gaining 70.7% during the Great Recession and Casey’s declining only 11.5% during the same period.
Netflix boasts over 300 million paid memberships globally, while Casey’s operates 2,895 stores across 19 states, primarily located in smaller communities. Both companies exhibit strong growth potential and are seen as safe investments should the AI sector experience a downturn.
