Market cap $32.3M

Although semiconductor juggernaut Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) has become practically synonymous with the dramatic rise in artificial intelligence, the tremendous success also serves as a point of caution. True, NVDA stock has skyrocketed in recent years on the back of its graphics processors, which power the latest AI workloads.

Nvidia and Palantir have been two prominent names riding the AI investing wave that's captivated the markets this year. However, questions surrounding valuations exceeding fundamentals are starting to surface.

While artificial intelligence has been one of the hottest topics in the business ecosystem, it's not without its challenges. Six months following its high-profile announcement at the White House, the $500 billion Stargate project — a joint venture between OpenAI and SoftBank — has encountered significant delays and scaled-back ambitions.

If you're going to be part of the Magnificent Seven, you better do something that's, well

With AI continuing to garner interest, names like Nvidia and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing are seeing stock purchases from the whales of the investment ocean. Those generally are billionaire fund managers.

As seasoned investors already know, the 24-hour news cycle can change markets quickly and swiftly. After weathering the tariff tantrum storm, downtrodden Magnificent Seven stocks are starting to look magnificent again thanks to U.S.-China trade deal news, but caution is always warranted.
