Investors looking for ways to play the artificial-intelligence boom beyond high-profile semiconductor stocks could find opportunities among materials providers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Companies like Entegris ENTG<\/a> and Qnity Electronics Q<\/a> \u2014 which make things ranging from specialty chemicals to wafer transport equipment that are required for chip manufacturing \u2014 have a few big factors working in their favor. For one, a recovery in analog chips is coinciding with accelerating demand for logic and memory chips that are enabling the deployment of AI. Also, their stocks haven\u2019t seen the same level of price appreciation as chip stocks that have become household names.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published: Jan. 31, 2026 at 8:30\u202fa.m. ET Investors looking for ways to play the artificial-intelligence boom beyond high-profile…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":313604,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[261],"tags":[291,85047,85030,289,83888,67210,290,41593,41556,85833,41573,20169,5149,85786,41570,13782,41565,95145,18,1306,152755,136002,136003,35567,152756,41571,14480,19,82633,82634,41586,5885,82635,17,610,14965,151,97042,85048,4617,19506,827,95144,95142,152758,152757,82,152753,152754],"class_list":["post-313603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-analyst-comment","tag-analyst-comment-recommendation","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence-technologies","tag-artificial-intelligence-machine-learning","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-basic-materials","tag-basic-materials-resources","tag-ce-exclusion-filter","tag-ce-industry-news-filter","tag-chemicals","tag-computers","tag-computers-electronics","tag-content-types","tag-corporate","tag-corporate-industrial-news","tag-disruptions","tag-eire","tag-electronics","tag-element-solutions-inc","tag-entegris-inc","tag-entg","tag-equity-markets","tag-esi","tag-factiva-filters","tag-financial-performance","tag-ie","tag-industrial-electronics","tag-industrial-goods","tag-industrial-news","tag-information-technology","tag-integrated-circuits","tag-ireland","tag-machine-learning","tag-manufacturing","tag-q","tag-qnity-electronics-inc","tag-recommendation","tag-resources","tag-semiconductors","tag-services","tag-share-price-movement","tag-share-price-movement-disruptions","tag-sols","tag-solstice-advanced-materials-inc","tag-technology","tag-texas-instruments-inc","tag-txn"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=313603"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313603\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/313604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=313603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=313603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=313603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
