2 Top Artificial Intelligence Stocks to Buy in October
The final quarter of 2025 unfolds against a backdrop of surprising stock market resilience despite global tensions and economic fragility. Technology equities, up 18% year-to-date, continue outpacing the broader market's 11.6% gain. Skeptics warn of an AI bubble, but industry projections tell a different story—Grand View Research forecasts the global AI market exploding from $279.2 billion to $3.5 trillion by 2033 at a 31.5% compound annual growth rate.
Nvidia stands as Wall Street's undisputed AI champion, its market capitalization soaring 1,380% over three years to $4.4 trillion. The chipmaker's data-center GPUs power critical AI infrastructure, driving a 56% year-over-year revenue surge to $46.7 billion last quarter. Meta Platforms meanwhile continues leveraging AI across its advertising ecosystem and metaverse ambitions, though its stock trades at a relative discount to pure-play AI firms.
