The AI-driven tech boom continues, but for investors worried about potential overexposure, it can be challenging to avoid some of the biggest names in technology. Even those seeking out overlooked tech investment targets may want greater diversification into other sectors. After all, energy, industrials, and other segments of the market are also performing quite well.
It's absolutely possible to build exposure to AI trends without leaning too heavily toward tech names. Companies providing data center services and equipment, including construction work, have been thriving despite not being part of the tech sector. The firms below all have the potential to continue to benefit as AI demand remains strong, but will not lead to additional direct exposure to tech.
