Summary
Nvidia and Meta are Motley Fool’s top second-half 2026 picks, with the call arguing both lagging AI leaders are now mispriced rather than fundamentally weakening.
Nvidia trades at 21.7 times forward earnings versus its roughly 34 average over the past two years, even as analysts project 96% year-over-year revenue growth next quarter.
Meta shares are down about 12% in 2026 despite 33% first-quarter revenue growth, as investors focus on heavy AI infrastructure spending instead of its strengthening ad business.
Last week’s move to sell excess AI data-center capacity to outside clients gave Meta stock a lift and could start addressing concerns over returns on its spending.
The broader backdrop is a 2026 AI rotation into memory and comeback chip names such as Micron, Sandisk, AMD and Intel, while earlier leaders have lost their old valuation premiums.
