While it should help inform investors of how others think of the stock, it shouldn't be the be-all and end-all. One popular artificial intelligence (AI) stock that these analysts (on average) say to sell now is Palantir (PLTR -0.05%). According to an average of 15 analysts, the average price target for Palantir stock is $27.08, which indicates a ...

Semiconductor makers have been big winners in artificial intelligence, but not all chip businesses have enjoyed the same level of success. When it comes to semiconductor stocks and data center businesses, I'd wager that companies such as Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices come to the top of your mind. The thing is, there's a whole lot more than just those two juggernauts when it comes to emerging opportunities in AI-powered chips and infrastructure solutions.

One number from Nvidia's earnings report has me more concerned about the company's growth. When the word "semiconductor" is mentioned, it's nearly impossible not to think of Nvidia (NVDA -4.08%) -- and for good reason.
