Nvidia reigns as the dominant artificial intelligence play, but investors may also want to keep an eye on networking chip stocks Marvell Technology and Broadcom , according to Bank of America.
Networking semiconductors play a critical role in the graphics processing units underpinning many generative AI models, and these names should benefit from long-term demand for their Ethernet networking offerings, according to senior analyst Vivek Arya.
Still, Arya labeled Nvidia as the best-positioned name.
But all three stocks have gained this year as AI gains steam as an investment theme, with Nvidia soaring more than 195%.
Broadcom and Marvell have added about 50% and 59%, respectively.
