AI Semiconductor Investment in 2026: We're Still in the Early Innings

🚀 AI Bubble? We Haven't Even Started Yet

Many investors are worried. "Isn't AI overheated?", "It's gone up too much", "What if the bubble bursts?"

But Barbara Duran, CEO of BDA Capital Partners, says firmly:

"We are still in the early innings."

Nvidia's current price-to-earnings ratio (PER) is about 26 times next year's expected earnings.

The number might look high at first glance, but here's what matters: earnings estimates keep getting revised upward.

As AI demand grows, Nvidia's earnings projections continue to rise, which effectively lowers the real PER.

Here's a surprising fact:

Only single-digit percentages of companies have fully integrated AI into their operations.

Most businesses are still working with consultants to answer these questions:

What does this mean?

👉 AI infrastructure demand is just getting started.

Nvidia isn't the only AI beneficiary.

Broadcom is also growing by supplying essential networking chips and custom AI chips (ASICs) for AI data centers.

Both companies face concerns about "overcapacity" and "bubbles," but Barbara Duran dismisses these worries.

As AI adoption spreads, corporate productivity is expected to improve continuously.

This isn't a temporary trend. Like when the internet first emerged, AI is fundamentally changing how businesses operate.

And that change is still in its early stages.

Stock	Key Points
Nvidia	26x PER, rising earnings, dominant AI chip leader
Broadcom	AI networking + custom ASIC growth

It's natural to get scared every time the word "bubble" comes up.

But real bubbles burst when everyone says, "This will never go down."

Right now? There are still plenty of skeptics.

And that might just be a sign that opportunity remains.

Think you're too late for AI semiconductor investing?

Perhaps we've just stepped up to bat in the first inning. ⚾
