In the world of artificial intelligence (AI) stocks, core weaving (NASDAQ: CRWV) Already a famous name. The cloud computing company is an emerging player in artificial intelligence infrastructure and computing power as it builds data centers equipped with graphics processing units to handle complex computing tasks.
CoreWeave stock is up 100% over the last year as it NVIDIA and striking deals with major tech companies, e.g. meta platform. The downside is that CoreWeave, for all its potential, isn’t yet profitable. The company reported a net loss of US$1.16 billion in 2025, including a net loss of US$452 million in the fourth quarter alone due to expansion of production capacity.

Not everyone likes investing in a company that is still losing money. So if your risk tolerance puts you off CoreWeave, here are some excellent and profitable AI stocks that might be a better fit for your portfolio.
SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) It’s a fascinating company. The company, known for its NAND flash memory products and other computing storage devices, was acquired Western Digital ten years ago. But in 2023, Western Digital spun off Sandisk and formed a new company that packaged Sandisk and Western Digital’s flash memory products, solid-state drives (SSDs), memory cards, and USB drives.
The company is the best performer of all S&P 500 Index By 2025, it is still in the lead year-to-date, with growth of 151% as of March 4.
Like CoreWeave, Sandisk faces emerging opportunities in its data center segment, which was its fastest-growing business segment in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The segment brought in $440 million in revenue, up 76% from the same period last year and 64% from the first quarter.
But unlike CoreWeave, Sandisk is already a profitable company. Revenue for the quarter was $3.02 billion, an increase of 61% from last year. Net profit was US$803 million, an increase of 672% over the same period last year.
“This quarter’s results underscore our agility in leveraging a better product portfolio, accelerating enterprise-class SSD deployments and enhancing market demand dynamics, all at a time when the critical role our products play in advancing artificial intelligence and technology in the world is recognized,” CEO David Goeckeler said in a statement.
Palantir Technology (NASDAQ: PLTR) I admit, it’s not for everyone. Valuations are eye-popping, as Palantir’s trailing P/E of 230 and forward P/E of 120 suggest too much optimism within the data analytics company. The price-to-sales ratio of 83 is also unacceptable, although it is a significant improvement over last year.
Additionally, Palantir serves as a government contractor, specifically with the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Protesters have gathered at the company’s offices on more than one occasion, and some former employees have publicly criticized the company’s government work.
But if you just look at financial performance, it’s hard to argue against Palantir stock. Fourth-quarter revenue was US$1.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of 70%, and net profit was US$608 million, a year-on-year increase of 43%.
Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) While not as flashy as some computing companies, it also has huge opportunities in cloud computing. Cloud revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 (ending November 30, 2025) was US$7.97 billion, a year-on-year increase of 34%, accounting for 50% of the company’s total sales. Net profit was US$6.13 billion, a year-on-year increase of 95%.
That’s why Oracle is investing heavily in data center projects right now. It has a deal worth up to $300 billion with OpenAI to provide artificial intelligence infrastructure and cloud computing services. OpenAI recently completed a $110 billion private placement financing, which should help it close the deal with Oracle.
Meanwhile, Oracle’s free cash flow has fallen by more than $24 billion over the past three years as it ramped up investment in capital expenditures and took on more than $100 billion in debt to help pay for data center projects. While the combination of these two factors, along with concerns that global AI data center construction will be slow to monetize, has caused Oracle shares to fall 18% over the past three months, this appears to be a golden opportunity for investors to buy the dip and take advantage of the inevitable rebound.
Experts surveyed by Yahoo said analysts believe this will happen – and that’s the average price target for Oracle stock. Financials are at $270, suggesting a potential gain of 74% in the coming months.
