In 2026, the market has very clearly established which stocks it believes are artificial intelligence (AI) winners and losers. Software stocks in general have taken a big toll, but some are being affected by AI-driven fears more than others. Meanwhile, some hardware stocks are putting up monstrous returns, even as huge names like NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) have stalled.
These are the market’s biggest AI winners and losers so far in 2026, focusing on U.S. tech stocks with market capitalizations above $10 billion.
