4 Brilliant Growth Stocks to Buy Now and Hold for the Long Term — Including Nvidia | The Motley Fool

With all of the money being spent on AI buildout, investors need to position their portfolio to invest in companies that are directly benefiting from this development. The obvious winner is Nvidia (NVDA 3.62%), and I think it’s an excellent stock to buy now and hold for the long term.

However, Nvidia isn’t the only company that’s benefiting from this trend. Three others that I think look like excellent stocks to buy now include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM 2.90%), Broadcom (AVGO 4.29%), and Alphabet (GOOG 2.89%) (GOOGL 2.94%).

All of these stocks look like fantastic options to buy now and hold for the long term, and investors will be rewarded if they do.

The AI buildout is going strong

Although 2025 was a record-setting year for artificial intelligence infrastructure buildout, we’re just getting started. Many of the AI hyperscalers have announced 2026 capital expenditure plans, and all of them have told investors to expect 2026’s total to exceed 2025’s total. That’s bullish for infrastructure plays like Nvidia, Broadcom, and Taiwan Semiconductor.

Nvidia makes graphics processing units (GPUs), which are the computing backbone behind most of the AI technology we experience today. Its GPUs are the gold standard and have been widely deployed by nearly every AI hyperscaler to run workloads.
