Artificial intelligence (AI) spending is expected to pick up the pace in 2026.
After another year of successful returns in the tech sector of the market, I have little reason to doubt that 2026 will be any different from 2025. The same trends that provided impressive returns in 2025 are still prevailing in 2026, and just because the calendar flipped a page doesn’t mean the market is done with artificial intelligence (AI).
Several companies look like excellent buys in January, and I’ve got four that top the list.

1. Nvidia
Nvidia (NVDA 0.43%) has been one of the best stocks to own in the market over the past few years, and 2026 looks like it will be another successful year. The company makes graphics processing units (GPUs), and its chips are widely acknowledged as the best general-purpose chips for AI computing. This has led to outsized growth versus the competition.
