The “safe AI winners” are crowded trades now. AlphaTrader, a creator with about 1K subscribers, says the next triple candidates won’t be the obvious mega-caps. He’s looking at smaller names with real catalysts and enough risk to move fast in either direction.

He starts with a quick market pulse. The S&P and Nasdaq slipped on the week, the Bitcoin price dropped under $70,000, and silver took a hard hit in a sharp sell-off. The takeaway is simple: markets feel unstable, but that’s often when beaten-down stocks start offering the biggest upside setups.

From there, he lays out five AI-focused stocks he believes could triple by the end of 2026. These aren’t conservative picks – they’re high-volatility bets that depend on execution, growth, and the next wave of AI spending.

AlphaTrader likes SoundHound because it’s not fighting in the same lane as chatbots on screens. He frames it as voice AI for cars, restaurants, drive-throughs, and smart devices.

He points to product progress too, which includes the work on an agent-like voice system that can take on activities like booking and reservations with voice commands. He also points to the growth, which includes revenue growing by 68% in Q3 2025 and the idea of being near break-even in 2026.

His rough price framing: trading in the video near $7.50, his mentioned analyst targets range from $14 to $26. The bull case is one big partnership can move it fast. The bear case is simple: losses, big competition, and wild swings.

Next is C3.ai, which he calls an “enterprise AI operating layer” for companies that want to deploy AI at scale. He highlights clients and ties to large organizations, plus federal demand.

He claims federal bookings jumped 89% year over year and points to a Microsoft partnership leading to a meaningful pipeline. His angle is that if the business model clicks and growth stays consistent, the stock can re-rate quickly.

The risk is the same theme again: execution and competition. If growth stays uneven, the market can keep punishing it.

UiPath is his “robots do the boring work” pick. He likes it because companies want cost cuts, and automation fits that theme.

He leans on numbers: remaining performance obligations rising, total RPO near $1.3B, and gross margins close to 85%. 

He frames that as rare economics for a growth tech name. His upside case depends on growth picking up again and automation demand staying strong. The downside is slower growth and pressure from rivals building similar tools.

AppLovin is the most controversial pick on his list outside of Palantir. His argument is that Axon (its ad optimization system) is pulling in ad dollars and expanding beyond mobile gaming into bigger verticals like e-commerce and fintech.

He notes the stock ran hard over time, then got hit with a big drop. He references analyst targets that are far above the current price in his clip, and that’s where the “triple” math comes from.

The bear case is heavy: valuation, competition from Google/Meta/Amazon, and short-seller noise that can keep pressure on the stock.

He puts Palantir at number one and calls it the most divisive name on the list. His case is based on growth and margins, plus the pace of large deal wins. He cites strong revenue growth, very high operating margins, and big contracts that keep the story alive.

He also admits the obvious risk: the valuation is extreme, and the stock can swing hard. His take is that if Palantir keeps landing large deals and commercial demand stays hot, a triple is still on the table. If sentiment breaks, the downside can be nasty.

However, AlphaTrader’s stock list isn’t meant for cautious investors. It’s a high-volatility bet that smaller AI-linked names can rebound hard if risk appetite returns and each company delivers on its catalysts.

The real value of the video is the framework: catalysts, valuation, and whether the business can convert the AI story into real revenue. Without that, “triple in 2026” stays a headline.
