That&#8217;s easy: It&#8217;s <strong>Palantir Technologies<\/strong> (NASDAQ: PLTR). Shares of the artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics software maker have skyrocketed nearly 90% year to date.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Should you jump on the Palantir bandwagon? I don&#8217;t think so. Here are three AI stocks that are hands-down better picks than Palantir right now, in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>    <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" alt=\"AI and digital symbols appearing over an outstretched hand.\" loading=\"eager\" height=\"600\" width=\"960\" class=\"yf-1gfnohs loader\"\/> Image source: Getty Images.         <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Google parent <strong>Alphabet<\/strong> (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) looks like an absolute steal compared to Palantir. While Palantir&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/f\/forward-pe\/?utm_source=yahoo-host-full&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=article&amp;referring_guid=61e2cce1-d1cd-43fa-8c2a-04f7b83662ed\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:forward price-to-earnings ratio;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">forward price-to-earnings ratio<\/a> is a jaw-dropping 256.4, Alphabet&#8217;s shares trade at only 18.7 times forward earnings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Sure, Palantir&#8217;s revenue and earnings are growing more quickly than Alphabet&#8217;s. However, Alphabet is no slouch when it comes to growth, with the company&#8217;s first-quarter profits soaring 46% year over year. Importantly, humongous growth is already baked into Palantir&#8217;s share price. That&#8217;s not nearly as much the case with Alphabet. Its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/terms\/p\/peg-ratio\/?utm_source=yahoo-host-full&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=article&amp;referring_guid=61e2cce1-d1cd-43fa-8c2a-04f7b83662ed\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:price\/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">price\/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio<\/a>, which is based on analysts&#8217; five-year earnings growth projections, is a not-too-shabby 1.33.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Alphabet is well positioned to benefit from the rapidly increasing adoption of AI. Its Google Cloud unit is the fastest-growing among the big three cloud service providers. Integration of generative AI into Google Search is boosting user satisfaction and search usage. And the company&#8217;s Waymo business is the leader in AI-powered autonomous ride-hailing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">What about the regulatory threats to Alphabet? They shouldn&#8217;t be ignored. The company has lost two antitrust cases over the last 12 months. However, the story isn&#8217;t over on this front, with Alphabet appealing the adverse rulings. I think a bet on this AI stock is smarter than a bet against it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\"><strong>Meta Platforms<\/strong> (NASDAQ: META) also offers investors a much more attractive valuation than Palantir. Shares of the social media giant trade at 29 times forward earnings. Ordinarily, that would seem expensive. But it&#8217;s dirt cheap compared to Palantir.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">While Palantir competes against other software companies to win contracts, Meta doesn&#8217;t have to try very hard to attract advertisers. A whopping 3.43 billion people on average use the company&#8217;s Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp apps daily. When you have that huge of an audience, advertisers come running.<\/p>\n<p> \u7e7c\u7e8c\u95b1\u8b80 <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">However, Meta is harnessing AI to encourage those advertisers to run even faster. It&#8217;s developing AI tools that will create an entire marketing campaign based on advertisers&#8217; goals. The company is increasing ad conversion rates by using AI to improve ad recommendations. Meta is also using AI to help creators develop content, which should attract more users &#8212; and ultimately more advertising revenue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Maybe the most exciting AI-related growth opportunity for Meta, though, is in smart glasses. The company has already racked up a big win with its Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses. That partnership is going so well that Meta recently invested $3.5 billion in Ray-Ban maker <strong>EssilorLuxottica<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\"><strong>Nvidia<\/strong> (NASDAQ: NVDA) was on the outs with investors for a while, but that&#8217;s no longer the case. Over the last three months, Nvidia&#8217;s gains aren&#8217;t too far behind Palantir&#8217;s. But I think Nvidia has more room to run than Palantir does.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Importantly, Nvidia&#8217;s top line is growing faster than Palantir&#8217;s. In the first quarter of 2025, the graphics processing unit (GPU) maker reported year-over-year revenue growth of 69%. Palantir&#8217;s revenue increased by 39% in its Q1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">And while Nvidia isn&#8217;t cheap by any stretch of the imagination, the stock is a bargain compared to Palantir. That&#8217;s true even when growth prospects are factored into the equation. Nvidia&#8217;s PEG ratio of 2.02 is less than half Palantir&#8217;s PEG ratio of 4.41.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Will Nvidia&#8217;s growth rate slow? Of course. However, the company&#8217;s GPUs remain the gold standard in training and deploying AI models. Nvidia continues to invest heavily in research and development, with more powerful chips coming out each year. I suspect this AI stock will deliver higher returns over the next five years than Palantir will.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Before you buy stock in Nvidia, consider this:<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/api.fool.com\/infotron\/infotrack\/click?apikey=35527423-a535-4519-a07f-20014582e03e&amp;impression=bbff2aa1-c92e-4878-bf3f-55b4f36447ca&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fool.com%2Fmms%2Fmark%2Fe-sa-bbn-bn%3Faid%3D8867%26source%3Disaeditxt0001088%26ftm_cam%3Dsa-bbn-evergreen%26ftm_veh%3Darticle_pitch_feed_yahoo%26ftm_pit%3D17500&amp;utm_source=yahoo-host-full&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=article&amp;referring_guid=61e2cce1-d1cd-43fa-8c2a-04f7b83662ed\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:10 best stocks;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">10 best stocks<\/a><\/strong> for investors to buy now\u2026 and Nvidia wasn\u2019t one of them.
