Where to invest $1,000 right now?<\/strong> Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks<\/strong> to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor.\u00a0See the stocks \u00bb<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Nebius is probably the least-known company on this list, but I think it has the greatest long-term wealth potential. The Dutch company is building data centers that provide full-stack AI cloud platforms, which are essential for developers and hyperscalers training and running AI programs.<\/p>\n Nebius is growing rapidly to meet the demand for AI. The company had an annualized run rate revenue of $1.25 billion in 2025 and expects it to be between $7 billion and $9 billion this year. The company is building its capacity as well, and bolstered its 2026 contracted power guidance from 2.5 gigawatts to 3 gigawatts.<\/p>\n Nebius’s recent acquisition of Tavily, an agentic search provider that works with AI companies and Fortune 500 companies, increases Nebius’ ability to provide developers with access to enterprise-grade agentic systems.<\/p>\n Nebius’ stock is about $100 per share at this writing, so pick up five shares of stock to account for 25% of your $2,000 portfolio.<\/p>\n The demand for Nvidia’s graphics processing units (GPUs) propelled it to become the world’s largest publicly traded company, with a current market capitalization of $4.6 trillion. But even at that scale, Nvidia is still growing shockingly fast.<\/p>\n Its fiscal 2026 third-quarter results (for the quarter ending Oct. 25, 2025) showed 62% revenue growth, to $57 billion. And $51.2 billion of that came from data center sales, management said.<\/p>\n Considering the biggest hyperscalers on the planet — Microsoft<\/strong>, Alphabet<\/strong>, Amazon<\/strong>, and Meta Platforms<\/strong> — have announced plans to spend $650 billion this year alone on AI investments, Nvidia’s revenue should continue its upward climb. I think Nvidia is the surest bet on this list, so allocate 50% of your $2,000 portfolio to the chipmaker and buy five shares of Nvidia stock<\/a>.<\/p>\n Palantir doesn’t make AI infrastructure, but it has what may be the best AI software in the world. Palantir’s powerful network pulls data from hundreds of sources to provide real-time analysis and insights to commercial companies, military units, and government agencies.<\/p>\n Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) is the key to the company’s success, as it incorporates large language models that enable users to create detailed prompts and receive information through generative AI.<\/p>\n The company’s 2025 revenue was $4.475 billion, up 56% year over year, and it projects 2026 revenue of between $7.182 billion and $7.198 billion — a gain of 60%. As Palantir stock is about $135 per share at this writing, devote the remaining $500 of your portfolio to get three shares (or 3.7, if you are using fractional shares).<\/p>\n Before you buy stock in Nebius Group, consider this:<\/p>\n The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the\u00a010 best stocks<\/a><\/strong> for investors to buy now\u2026 and Nebius Group wasn\u2019t one of them.
