Investors eyeing the 2026 AI boom should consider NVIDIA and Palantir for a balanced investment. NVIDIA’s Q3 2026 revenue surged to $57 billion, driven by data center and gaming segments. Palantir’s Q3 revenue hit $1.18 billion, with a strong commercial and government segment growth. Both companies expect continued growth in 2026.

NVIDIA’s strong financials and market dominance position it well in the AI market. Palantir’s expansion and AI platform adoption drive its growth prospects. Palantir’s higher valuation raises risk, but holding both NVIDIA and Palantir offers stability and high-growth potential. NVIDIA has a Zacks Rank #1, Palantir a Zacks Rank #2.

Zacks Investment Research highlights a little-known satellite-based communications firm as a top pick with potential for significant growth in the trillion-dollar space industry. Analysts forecast a revenue breakout in 2025. This stock could outperform previous Zacks’ picks like Hims & Hers Health, which surged over 200%.
