4 Semiconductor Stocks to Buy Right Now to Ride on the AI Capex Boom - The Globe and Mail

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technology is reshaping the semiconductor industry landscape, creating unprecedented investment opportunities for related companies. As major cloud ser... Read original →

The AI capex surge is triggering a deep reconfiguration of the semiconductor stack: EDA tools and advanced packaging face acute demand, while HBM and CoWoS capacities have become critical bottlenecks. Escalating U.S. export controls are forcing foundries to reassess onshore manufacturing economics—TSMC’s (Taiwan, China) Arizona fab struggles with yield ramp underscore this risk. Samsung and SK Hynix are accelerating HBM3E qualification to widen their lead over Micron in memory. Over the next 12–24 months, AI chips will pivot from raw performance to power efficiency and localized deployment, making edge AI SoCs and chiplet architectures the next growth vector. Firms with heterogeneous integration capabilities and diversified supply chains across North America, East Asia, and Southeast Asia will command premium pricing amid geopolitical friction.
