To try and offer up some alternate names, Baird released an updated 2024 edition of its stock picks targeting top ideas in artificial intelligence and machine learning in a 34-page report out Tuesday.
"While the implications of AI vary across sectors, we collectively believe the AI tidal wave is still in the early innings," a team of analysts led by Tristan Gerra wrote.
Another name Baird recommended was cloud cybersecurity firm Cloudflare , which surged last month after topping analyst expectations in its fourth quarter.
"Though AI's impact on NET's revenue is still unfolding, the company is strategically positioning itself for the shift from AI training to inference," wrote Baird analyst Shrenik Kothari.
"Cloudflare's focus on connectivity for AI applications and the optimization of its network for diverse AI use cases showcases its commitment to facilitating AI adoption and exploring new monetization avenues as the AI landscape evolves."
