Nvidia and its competition Arm, Arm being a british company.

Nvidia is a popular stock, still there are others. Solid stocks can be found that benefit just as much from artificial intelligence.

Sticking out is Softbank.

The Japanese investment company Softbank (ISIN JP3436100006) has big AI plans. For many years, the founder and CEO Masayoshi Son has been looking for exciting opportunities to invest his money in AI.

The CEO has shown a particularly good nose for the British chip designer Arm. In 2016, he bought the company for 24.3 billion British pounds (28.7 billion euros). Last year, Softbank took Arm public again and since then, AI optimism has also reached there. Arm's chip design is particularly energy-efficient and Arm chips can be useful for developing AI models. Arm is now worth 156 billion euros on the stock market. Since Softbank still owns 90 percent of the company, its share is worth 140 billion euros.

Softbank is valued at just 88 billion euros on the stock market. Softbank itself offers a certain degree of risk diversification. Its investments in telecommunications companies and venture capital funds are currently worth roughly 80 billion euros, which almost justify its stock market value alone.

Investment is a risk and to stay informed is imperative.

All in German I'm afraid. Also mentioned is Alphabet.

Softbank, the ones who sold Nvidia before it rocketed? quite a few writeoffs and failed investments IIRC.

But ARM is potentially huge.
