4 AI Stocks Are Joining the S&P 500: Buy, Hold, or Pass?
Sandisk, Palo Alto Networks, Dell, and Arista are all set to join the S&P 500.
The S&P 500 index, known for its tech-heavy composition, is set to become even more technology-focused as it incorporates four new artificial intelligence (AI) stocks later this month. These additions will significantly increase the proportion of AI-related companies within the index. Let's examine these AI stocks and assess whether investors should buy, hold, or pass on them.
One of the standout performers in the current market, SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), is set to join the S&P 500. The company has experienced remarkable revenue growth and maintains an impressive gross margin. SanDisk is a pure-play NAND (flash) memory manufacturer, benefiting from the ongoing supply-demand imbalance in the industry.
The big three memory makers are heavily investing in dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and high bandwidth memory (HBM), while demand for flash memory continues to surge due to the need for large solid-state drives (SSDs) used for training AI models.
