The market may have had a strong run over the past two months, but there are still plenty of stocks that look like great buys right now. The reality is that the artificial intelligence (AI) build-out is just getting started, and many of these companies have yet to recognize the full effect that an AI-first economy would have on their financials. Three AI stocks that I wouldn't hesitate to buy more of are Nvidia (NVDA 1.86%), Meta Platforms (META +0.52%), and Amazon (AMZN 0.70%), as all three are well positioned to take advantage of the shift toward AI. 1. Nvidia Nvidia is the old guard in the AI world. It has been the go-to AI investment since the build-out began in 2023, and it has given investors zero reasons to doubt it. Nvidia is putting up incredible growth figures, with its latest growth rate coming in at 85% year over year and 20% quarter over quarter to $81.6 billion. To top things off, it expects $91 billion for Q2. Nvidia is showing its dominance, and its revenue growth rate continues to accelerate with rising AI demand. Expand NASDAQ : NVDA Nvidia Today's Change ( -1.86 %) $ -4.09 Current Price $ 215.42 Key Data Points Market Cap $5.2T Day's Range $ 214.84 - $ 221.07 52wk Range $ 132.92 - $ 236.54 Volume 5.8M Avg Vol 171.3M Gross Margin 74.15 % Dividend Yield 0.02 % Nvidia will remain a successful company as long as there is increased demand. That success is primed to continue because several AI hyperscalers have already indicated that 2027 will be a year of increased spending versus 2026's results. Nvidia believes that data center expenditures from the AI hyperscalers will surpass $1 trillion in 2027, which would be a huge growth opportunity for Nvidia. Nvidia is far from done growing, and I think it's one of the best AI stocks to buy now. 2. Meta Platforms Meta Platforms never gets the respect it deserves. Outside of Nvidia, it's one of the fastest-growing big tech companies, with its Q1 revenue rising 33% year over year thanks to the improvements its A...
The Indian rupee may now be undervalued following its recent depreciation, Reserve Bank of India Governor Sanjay Malhotra said in an interview with Mint. “With the recent depreciation, it would be reasonable to think that rupee is not overvalued. If anything, one could argue that rupee has become undervalued,” Malhotra said. The remarks are unusual for an RBI governor, as the central bank typicall...
The Indian rupee may now be undervalued following its recent depreciation, Reserve Bank of India Governor Sanjay Malhotra said in an interview with Mint. “With the recent depreciation, it would be reasonable to think that rupee is not overvalued. If anything, one could argue that rupee has become undervalued,” Malhotra said. The remarks are unusual for an RBI governor, as the central bank typically avoids commenting on the rupee’s valuation or signaling preferred currency levels. In the interview, Malhotra reiterated that the RBI does not target any specific exchange-rate level. The rupee is down over 6% so far this year in Asia’s worst performance. The currency has been largely pressured by equity outflows, which have already exceeded $23 billion this year — surpassing last year’s record. The surge in crude prices since the beginning of the Iran war has also raised the import bill. A gauge of the rupee’s competitiveness against other currencies stood at 90.96 in April, showing the currency is likely undervalued against peers. This was the lowest since at least 2014. Malhotra said the balance of payments (BoP) situation was not a huge concern yet. “It’s not an undue concern yet it requires some attention in form of concerted efforts by the government, RBI and all institutions concerned,” he said.

The stock market has rallied strongly this spring, led once again by the tech-heavy Nasdaq. While the index is set up for another strong year of outperformance, there are stocks well off their highs that investors can scoop up before they join the rally. Let's look at three Nasdaq growth stocks to buy right now before they rally to new all-time highs. 1. Palantir Expand NASDAQ : PLTR Palantir Technologies Today's Change ( -0.41 %) $ -0.56 Current Price $ 136.85 Key Data Points Market Cap $328B Day's Range $ 134.30 - $ 139.02 52wk Range $ 118.93 - $ 207.52 Volume 1.1M Avg Vol 46.8M Gross Margin 84.07 % While Palantir (PLTR 0.41%) has gotten caught up in the software-as-a-service (SaaS) stock sell-off, it is proving to be one of the most important companies in the AI space, and its growth has been nothing short of spectacular. Nonetheless, investors can pick up the stock 33% off its highs. Palantir's AI platform (AIP) has become essential for helping organizations use AI to help solve real-world problems. Instead of trying to build the next great AI model, the company leaned into its data gathering and analytics background to create a platform that can gather an organization's data from disparate sources and then link it to real-world assets and processes to harness the power of third-party AI models while significantly reducing AI hallucinations (errors). This has allowed its customers to use AI to help solve long-standing issues, and has led to significant and accelerating growth for Palantir. Palantir grew its revenue by 85% last quarter, its eleventh straight quarter of revenue growth acceleration. Impressively, this was driven by a combination of new U.S. commercial customer adds (up 42%) and existing customers spending more money (150% net dollar retention). Given its operational momentum, this is a stock that can rally to new highs. 2.
