Dan Ives, a hedge fund veteran who has been in the business for over 20 years, has revealed his five top tech stocks picks to watch out for by 2026.
Ives, in a CNBC Squawk Box Interview says artificial intelligence will probably cause five companies to perform better next year. These are: Tesla (TSLA), Microsoft(MSFT), Palantir(PLTR), CrowdStrikeCRWD and AppleAAPL.
It’s all about how the derivatives from the AI revolution will play out. This is our entire thesis for 2026. Every dollar invested in a NVIDIA chips multiplies the value of other tech by 8 to 10. That’s why, I believe that those five will be the most successful in early ’26. It’s because we are hammering the table with those five names.”
Ives believes that Microsoft’s stock, which was trading at $487 Tuesday, could soon reach the $500 mark.
Microsoft is leading the enterprise race when you consider the changes in cloud computing and artificial intelligence. This is one stock that I believe has a $100+ upside .”
Apple’s price, currently around $273, may also rise to $300 as a result of AI innovations.
Apple has been almost non-existent in AI. As we enter ’26 we can expect to see a significant Google partnership for the spring. The consumer AI revolution is now going through the [Apple headquarters in] Cupertino. I believe that this is important. AI is a multiple of $75. Apple’s stock price starts to rise. It’s because I see that name as a prominent one that stands out.
Ives also says that Tesla’s autonomous cars and robotics will probably lead to a surge in its stock price.
Tesla is at the forefront of AI in physical form. It’s because we like the name.
CrowdStrike ended Tuesday’s trading at $475. This is up 39% since the beginning of this year. Palantir, meanwhile, closed the market at $180, an increase of more than 139% in one year.
