With artificial intelligence demand growing, investors should consider some of the smaller, up and coming AI stocks.
After all, according to Grand View Research, the global AI boom could grow from about $137 billion in 2022 to more than $1.81 trillion by 2030. Even heavyweight companies like Microsoft and Amazon say they can’t keep up with demand.
Meta Platforms is boosting its capital expenditures for 2025, aiming for about $60 billion to $65 billion. Most of that will be directed towards enhancing its AI capabilities. Microsoft announced a $3.3 billion investment to build an AI hub.
We’ll also see more demand for AI from The Stargate Project, which plans to invest up to $500 billion in AI infrastructure in the U.S. by 2029.
In short, there’s plenty to get excited about.
And while you can always buy AI industry heavyweights, like Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices, keep reading for two smaller up-and-coming AI stocks to also consider.

Company: BigBear.AI (SYM: BBAI) BigBear.AI (SYM: BBAI) – which provides AI-powered decision intelligence systems for defense and national security – saw its stock explode higher in recent days. All thanks to a new contract with the U.S. Department of Defense’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO). In addition, the company just appointed Kevin McAleenan as its new CEO — the former Acting Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security under the first Trump administration. That’s substantial. For one, the company now has a CEO who held a U.S. Acting Secretary Role for Homeland Security. And two, with a good relationship with the Trump administration, BBAI could have an inside track to even more government contracts. Helping, analysts at H.C. Wainwright just raised their price target to $7 – which is more than double its prior target of $3. |
