About this screen
Artificial intelligence spending reaches across many industries: chip designers that make accelerators, cloud platforms that rent computing power, software companies building AI features, and suppliers of networking, power and cooling for data centers. No single industry label captures this group, so the list uses a theme tag for companies whose business descriptions center on AI, filtered to a market cap of at least $2 billion.
The theme is assigned from company descriptions and reviewed by hand, but it is not a complete list of every company using AI. The Growth tab shows whether AI demand is showing up in revenue and EPS, and the Valuation tab shows how much of that growth is already priced in. Check 1-year performance as well, since popular themes can move sharply in both directions.
