NVIDIA & Micron: 2 Profitable AI Stocks with Strong Growth Potential
Investors mostly favor companies that generate strong returns after covering both operating and non-operating expenses. As a result, businesses that consistently report profits tend to be more appealing than those that incur losses. To assess a company's profitability, investors rely on accounting ratios that highlight the most common measures of a company's bottom-line performance.
On that note, NVIDIA Corp. and Micron Technology, Inc. stand out as leading profitable artificial intelligence (AI) stocks, supported by strong net income ratios and promising growth prospects.
Understanding the Net Income Ratio
The net income ratio indicates a company's profitability. It reflects the percentage of net income relative to total sales revenues. Using the net income ratio, one can determine a firm's ability to cover operating and non-operating expenses with revenues. A higher net income ratio usually implies a company's ability to generate sufficient revenues and manage all business functions effectively.
Here are two of the 32 stocks that qualified for the screening:
NVIDIA
NVIDIA is a global computing infrastructure company offering graphics, compute, and networking solutions. The 12-month net profit margin of NVDA is 63%. NVIDIA has a Zacks Rank #2, and its expected earnings growth rate for the current year is 90.6% (read more: Everyone's Buying NVIDIA, but 2 Smaller AI Stocks Could Soar Higher).
Micron Technology
