Foolish Take

Is the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution going to keep rolling? Well, Sander Capital seems to think so.

By loading up on nearly 19,000 shares of Oracle, worth about $4.8 million, the Seattle-based investment advisor is betting big on the growth of AI. Here's why.

Sander has made Oracle stock its fifth-largest overall holding in its nearly $240 million portfolio. Indeed, Oracle now represents about 10% of the Sander's assets under management. Oracle joins several other big tech players atop Sander's top holding list, including Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and Alphabet.

All of these companies are linked to the AI revolution in their own way, but perhaps none as much as Oracle. That's because Oracle has plans to build more than 100 new data centers. These technology hubs will house millions of graphics processing units (GPUs) -- the brains behind the latest and greatest AI-powered applications.

Oracle's revenue has already picked up in recent years as the company has shifted strategy and begun investing billions into its new data centers. However, analysts expect revenue to grow by double-digits over the next few years as additional data centers come online for Oracle.

For retail investors, Oracle is an often-overlooked name within the red-hot AI sector, but it shouldn't be. The company's big bet on AI makes it an under-the-radar stock worth considering.
