AI and Tech Stocks Surge: Key Players Driving the Market in 2024

Brief news summary

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly significant in the business sector, although many consumers remain uncertain about its effects. AI advancements have notably impacted the stock market, benefiting companies like Nvidia. Additionally, cryptocurrencies have gained attention due to factors like new bitcoin exchange-traded funds and political events such as Donald Trump's election victory, which spurred interest in the crypto industry. In 2024, several U.S. tech companies with valuations over $5 billion achieved remarkable growth. AppLovin's market valuation skyrocketed from $13 billion to over $110 billion, driven by AI-enhanced online advertising tools like the AXON 2.0 search engine. MicroStrategy's stock surged 467% due to strategic bitcoin investments and Trump's election win, solidifying its status as a top bitcoin holder amid a thriving crypto market. Palantir saw a 380% stock increase, fueled by strong demand for its AI-driven data analytics and potential military spending growth. Robinhood's stock value tripled thanks to its expanding cryptocurrency division and increased revenue, with investor confidence bolstered by Trump's victory. Nvidia's stock rose 183%, highlighting its leadership in AI with advanced technologies and revenue from cutting-edge chips, although future growth may moderate.

Artificial intelligence continues to gain traction among businesses, significantly influencing the stock market. The Nasdaq has surged 33% this year, with major beneficiaries like chipmaker Nvidia, alongside AI-driven growth, and robust performances in the crypto sector following the launch of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds and Trump's election victory, heavily backed by the crypto industry. Several tech stocks have thrived in 2024. AppLovin, initially known for mobile gaming, shifted focus to online ads empowered by AI, skyrocketing its market cap from $13 billion to over $110 billion with a 758% stock increase. Its CEO, Adam Foroughi, is optimistic about a test e-commerce project linking targeted ads to games. MicroStrategy, having pioneered a bitcoin acquisition strategy, saw a 467% stock rise as its bitcoin holdings now value close to $44 billion, making it the fourth-largest holder globally. Trump's election added momentum to its stock, which rose 57% post-victory. Palantir enjoyed a 380% stock gain, driven by escalated AI demand.

Its impressive quarterly performance prompted CEO Alex Karp to highlight ongoing strong AI appeal, despite political tensions with co-founder Peter Thiel’s prior Trump support. Robinhood bounced back from a dip, tripling its value due to enthusiasm around crypto transactions. It expects over 70% revenue growth, emphasizing crypto's role as a transformative technology. Nvidia continued its astounding performance, adding $2. 2 trillion in market cap. Even as growth is expected to decelerate, it remains a major AI player, with its new AI chip, Blackwell, in full production. Any economic shifts could pose risks, given its revenue dependency on big tech clients.
