Alphabet

Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG) established itself as a clear leader in artificial intelligence (AI) in 2025. Gemini became one of the world's top large language models (LLMs), which it has incorporated through Google Search with AI Overviews and AI Mode to drive queries and revenue growth. Meanwhile, its cloud computing unit, Google Cloud, has been growing quickly, with revenue last quarter climbing 34% and operating income soaring 85%.

At the heart of Alphabet's success, meanwhile, is its custom AI chips called Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). The company started developing these chips more than a decade ago, and they now run most of its internal workloads, including being used to train Gemini. This gives Alphabet a huge cost advantage in the AI space, which should only increase over time.

Meanwhile, other companies have taken notice and are starting to use Alphabet's TPUs for their own AI workloads. This includes Anthropic, which has placed a $21 billion order with Broadcom to use these custom chips within Google Cloud. J.P. Morgan analysts estimate that for every 500,000 TPUs deployed by customers, Alphabet generates around $13 billion in revenue, adding another nice growth driver to its story.

Salesforce

While many chip stocks have seen huge benefits from AI going mainstream, software-as-a-service (SaaS) stocks have generally not been so lucky, as investors worry about the potential disruption AI will have to their businesses. However, Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) has been making some smart moves to position itself as a leader in agentic AI, where AI agents will go out and complete tasks with little to no human supervision.

While the original belief was that AI was great with unstructured data, it has now become clear that it does much better when it can draw from clean, organized data. Salesforce was always good at breaking down data silos within an organization. However, with the introduction of Data Cloud (now Data 360), which can source data from cloud providers and Snowflake, and its acquisition of master data management company Informatica, the company has created a platform to help become the master record of an organization's data, from which its AI agents can then act. This should significantly reduce AI hallucinations and set up Salesforce to be a leader in the emerging field of agentic AI.

The opportunity in agentic AI is huge, and Salesforce is now among the companies best positioned in the space. With the stock struggling over the past year, now is a great time to pick up shares while they are cheap. The stock trades at a forward price-to-sales multiple of around 5, and a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 19.

UiPath

Another company that looks poised to benefit from the proliferation of AI agents is UiPath (NYSE: PATH). While the company's Maestro platform allows customers to create AI agents through no-code and low-code tools, its biggest benefit is being an AI agent orchestration platform to help manage agents from various third-party vendors, like Salesforce.

The company is a leader in robot process automation (RPA), which is the use of software bots to automate simple tasks like data entry. This foundation has given it the governance and compliance tools needed to manage non-human identities (NHIs). Importantly, its platform can also assign agents and bots the tasks for which they are best suited. This is important because for simple, rule-based tasks, software bots are a much cheaper alternative than AI agents.

Managing AI agents from various vendors is going to become an increasingly important need, and UiPath is one of the companies best positioned to handle this. It's still early in its transition to an AI orchestration platform, but its revenue started to accelerate last quarter, and the stock is cheap, trading at a forward P/S multiple of under 5 and a forward P/E of approximately 21.
