2 AI Stocks That Could Beat the S&P 500 in 2025, According to Analysts

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a driving force of innovation and investment, reshaping industries and redefining growth strategies. In 2024, AI stocks dominated Wall Street, delivering stellar returns as companies embraced its transformative potential. Analysts suggest this momentum could persist into 2025, making AI a key focus for forward-looking investors.

Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs predicts a tempered pace for the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX) this year. While the index is expected to notch its third consecutive year of gains, rising to 6,500 by year-end 2025, the forecasted 9% price gain and 10% total return, including dividends, mark a slowdown compared to 2024’s exceptional 25% return.
