Here's how Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and UBS recommend investing in AI. Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and UBS are more optimistic about AI stocks after each expressed hesitations earlier this year as shares of companies tied to the technology exploded higher. In contrast, Morgan Stanley has dismissed concerns that AI stocks are in a bubble. "Inevitably, the market will compare AI to the dot-com boom," wrote Morgan Stanley analyst Shawn Kim in a July report. As for chipmakers, Morgan Stanley agreed with Bank of America that the path forward is bifurcated.

AMD may be nearing the end of its rally, according to some Wall Street analysts. Following the earnings report, Bank of America reiterated its neutral rating on the stock while lifting its price target by just $2 to $132. Although the firm raised its price target to $115 from $110, it still remains 2.2% below Tuesday's close. We also thought investors would eventually tire of the expensive valuation of AMD stock and we were wrong on that count as well. AMD shares gained 1.2% Wednesday during premarket trading.

"But when we go to an AI server, Intel's contribution drops to low-single digit percent, and that's where Nvidia's contribution gets to almost 60%, 70% of the price of the server." Still, it's possible AMD also saw softer demand for its data-center CPUs in the last quarter due to ramped-up AI spending. Like Intel, AMD is also working to bring its own AI-focused chips to market . Yes, Nvidia stock has had a monster run, more than tripling year-to-date, but the fundamental reason for that outperformance — its AI dominance — is completely intact. It remains an "own it, don't trade" stock, alongside Apple (AAPL).
