So when the market is down across the board, it’s an excellent buying opportunity. I can’t say whether we’re approaching another big drop, but what I can tell you is that there are three stocks you should consider buying the next time the market sinks like a rock.
NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) No introduction is needed. The company may be this The story of the stock market in 2025 is the $5 trillion valuation mark late last year.
The company controlled approximately 92% of the graphics processing unit (GPU) market by the end of 2025. its closest competitor AMD and Intelholding a single-digit share of the market.
Every time Nvidia releases earnings, everyone on Wall Street waits with bated breath, and it’s still growing at an explosive rate. As of its latest report (Q3 2025), the company’s quarterly revenue increased 62% year over year to $57 billion, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) soared 67%.
Nvidia has built a fundamentally strong tech hardware empire, and if the broader market drags down its price, it’s worth a look.
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) I’m sure you’ve heard of another company. While it was slightly below fourth-quarter 2025 earnings estimates, it only created a small buying opportunity.
If a market crash drags Amazon stock down, I’d take it seriously because it’s still growing much faster than similarly sized companies.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, Amazon’s sales increased by 14%, especially Amazon Web Services (AWS) sales increased by 24%. For the full year of 2025, its net sales will increase by 12%, and AWS sales will increase by 20%. The company’s operating revenue in 2025 will also reach $80 billion, an increase of 16% from 2024. Operating cash flow for the year surged 20% compared with 2024.
What’s more, the company’s net profit margin will reach 10.8% by 2025, so it should remain profitable despite plans to significantly increase spending to expand its data center capacity. However, given that AWS is Amazon’s fastest growing revenue source, I believe this investment will pay off.
Google’s parent company letter (Nasdaq: Google) is another corporate giant with extremely strong fundamentals that allows it to grow much faster than companies of its size typically do. If the market crash drags down Alphabet, you should take a look at it.
Alphabet is a leader in artificial intelligence (AI) hardware and software. Its Gemini AI program is rapidly gaining market share and could surpass ChatGPT this year. Its tensor processing unit (TPU) is becoming a competitor to Nvidia GPUs.
The bottom line is that Alphabet’s 2025 results are excellent, in addition to increasing capital spending to build data centers like Amazon’s. In 2024, the company’s consolidated revenue will grow by 15%, operating profit margin will reach 32%, and diluted earnings per share will soar by 34%.
If a market downturn causes Alphabet’s stock price to drop artificially, look at it.
