CRWV vs. PLTR vs. NVDA: Which Is the Best AI Stock to Buy Now, According to Analysts?
The stock market remains volatile due to geopolitical tensions and macro uncertainty, raising concerns about a potential slowdown in AI (artificial intelligence) spending. Nonetheless, Wall Street remains confident about several AI stocks, given the massive growth opportunity in the generative AI space over the long term. Using TipRanks' Stock Comparison Tool, we placed CoreWeave (CRWV), Palantir Technologies (PLTR), and Nvidia (NVDA) against each other to find the best AI stock, according to Wall Street analysts. Confident Investing Starts Here: CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) Stock CoreWeave, a cloud provider that specializes in AI infrastructure, is experiencing strong traction for its offerings amid the ongoing AI boom. The company has been in the news for its strategic deals. Notably, CoreWeave struck a $11.9 billion 5-year cloud computing contract with ChatGPT-maker OpenAI. The two AI companies also signed an expanded agreement of up to $4 billion to meet the growing demand for high-performance computing. Furthermore, CoreWeave is reportedly powering the recently announced cloud deal between Alphabet's Google (GOOGL) and OpenAI. CRWV stock has rallied by a staggering 359% from its IPO (initial public offering) price of $40. Is CRWV a Good Stock to Buy? Recently, Bank of America analyst Bradley Sills downgraded CoreWeave stock to Hold from Buy on valuation concerns, following the stellar rally in the AI infrastructure stock in reaction to the Q1 earnings. The 4-star analyst highlighted that CRWV stock is trading at an elevated valuation of 2027 EV/EBIT (enterprise value-to-earnings before interest and taxes) of 25x. While Sills noted several positives, like the expansion of CoreWeave's partnership with OpenAI and impressive revenue momentum, he pointed out the company's huge capital expenditure ($46.1 billion through 2027). Consequently, the analyst expects $21 billion of negative free cash flow through 2027. Turning to Wall Street, CoreWeave stock scores a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on six Buys, 11 Holds, and one Sell recommendation. The average CRWV stock price target of $78.53 indicates a significant downside risk of 57.2% from current levels. See more CRWV analyst ratings Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) Stock Data analytics company Palantir Technologies is considered one of the hottest AI stocks. PLTR stock has rallied more than 81% so far in 2025. The company's revenue is growing at a rapid pace across its Government and Commercial businesses. Palantir's AIP (Artificial Intelligence Platform) offering is bolstering its business. Palantir's market-beating first-quarter results reinforced the strength of its AI-powered offerings. Notably, Q1 2025 revenue increased by 39% year-over-year to $884 million, while adjusted EPS (earnings per share) jumped 62%. Additionally, the company raised its full-year guidance, as it believes that it is in the 'middle of a tectonic shift' in the adoption of its software, mainly in the U.S. Is Palantir Stock a Buy? While several analysts are cautious on Palantir stock due to its lofty valuation, Loop Capital analyst Mark Schappel reiterated a Buy rating and boosted the price target from $130 to a Street-high of $150. Following a meeting with management, the 5-star analyst stated that he is more convinced about PLTR's AI growth story and his bullish investment thesis. Schappel believes that Palantir is an early software leader in enterprise AI, which he thinks is at a 'tipping point,' as small-scale pilots move into production and AI use cases increase exponentially across all industries. Trading at 48x EV/2027 revenue, the analyst agrees that PLTR stock is 'not for the faint of heart.' That said, he contends that investors should look at the big picture, which indicates that Palantir is exposed to a massive AI opportunity. With 10 Holds, three Buys, and four Sells, Wall Street has a Hold consensus rating on Palantir Technologies stock. The average PLTR stock price forecast of $104.27 indicates a possible downside of 24.1% from current levels. See more PLTR analyst ratings Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) Stock After a tough start to the year due to concerns about rising competition in the AI space, chip export restrictions, and tariff woes, Nvidia stock has recovered 21% over the past three months and is up 7.1% year-to-date. While uncertainty around chip exports and competition from custom AI chips remain an overhang, the semiconductor giant continues to gain from robust demand for its GPUs (graphics processing units) in the AI space, as reflected in the market-beating first-quarter results. Looking ahead, the demand for NVDA's Blackwell platform is expected to boost its top-line growth. Moreover, the company's focus on 'sovereign AI,' which it defines as a country's ability to develop and deploy AI, could drive its revenue higher. In this regard, Nvidia's lucrative deals, like the recently announced agreement with Saudi Arabia and Germany, are worth noting. Is Nvidia Stock a Buy, Hold, or Sell? Earlier this month, Bank of America Securities analyst Vivek Arya reiterated a Buy rating on Nvidia stock with a price target of $180. Following a meeting with management, the 5-star analyst noted that the tone of the team was very positive regarding demand for Nvidia's products and continued customer interest across cloud and enterprise, backed by a full-scale supply ramp. Arya believes that management addressed three key investor debates that have been weighing on NVDA stock over the past year – Blackwell rack ramp and execution, AI diffusion and sovereign demand, and China AI shipments. The analyst stated that Nvidia stock remains a top sector pick for Bank of America, as it is 'best positioned' to benefit from the ongoing AI boom, bolstered by a multi-year lead in 'performance (AI scaling), pipeline, incumbency, scale, and developer support.' Despite near-term challenges, Wall Street has a Strong Buy consensus rating on Nvidia stock based on 35 Buys, four Holds, and one Sell recommendation. The average NVDA stock price target of $173.19 indicates 20.4% upside potential from current levels. See more NVDA analyst ratings Conclusion Wall Street is highly bullish on Nvidia stock, cautiously optimistic on CoreWeave, and sidelined on Palantir stock. Currently, analysts forecast further upside in chip giant Nvidia's stock while they see possible downside risk in the other two AI stocks. The optimism of most analysts on Nvidia stock is backed by its strong fundamentals, robust demand for its AI chips, continued innovation, and solid execution.

Security and defence high on the agenda as Mark Carney attends EU and NATO summits
Prime Minister Mark Carney departed for Europe on Sunday for back-to-back summits where he is expected to make major commitments for Canada on security and defence. Carney will be joined by Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand, Defence Minister David McGuinty and secretary of state for defence procurement Stephen Fuhr at the EU and NATO summits, where military procurement and diversifying supply chains will top the agendas. The international meetings come as Canada looks to reduce its defence procurement reliance on the United States due to strained relations over tariffs and President Donald Trump's repeated talk about Canada becoming a U.S. state.

Carney will fly first to Brussels, Belgium, starting the trip with a visit to the Antwerp Schoonselhof Military Cemetery where 348 Canadian soldiers are buried. He will also meet with Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever, European Council President Antonio Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. At the EU-Canada summit, Anand and McGuinty are expected to sign a security and defence agreement with the EU in what one European official described Friday as one of the most ambitious deals Europe has ever signed with a third country. The agreement will open the door to Canada's participation in the ReArm Europe initiative, allowing Canada to access a 150-billion-euro loan program for defence procurement, called Security Action for Europe. An EU official briefing reporters on Friday said once the procurement deal is in place, Canada will have to negotiate a bilateral agreement with the European Commission to begin discussions with member states about procurement opportunities. A Canadian official briefing reporters on the summit Saturday said the initial agreement will allow for Canada's participation in some joint procurement projects. However, a second agreement will be needed to allow Canadian companies to bid. At the EU-Canada summit, leaders are also expected to issue a joint statement to underscore a willingness for continued pressure on Russia, including through further sanctions, and call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. After Brussels, Carney heads to The Hague in the Netherlands for the NATO leaders' summit on Tuesday and Wednesday. There, Carney will meet with the King of the Netherlands and later with leaders of Nordic nations to discuss Arctic and transatlantic security. At the NATO summit, Carney will take part in bilateral meetings with other leaders. The summit agenda includes a social dinner hosted by the king and queen of the Netherlands and a two-and-a-half-hour meeting of the North Atlantic Council. NATO allies are expected to debate a plan to hike alliance members' defence spending target to five per cent of national GDP. NATO data shows that in 2024, none of its 32 members spent that much. The Canadian government official who briefed reporters on background says the spending target and its timeline are still up for discussion, though some allies have indicated they would prefer a seven-year timeline while others favour a decade. Canada hasn't hit a five-per-cent defence spending threshold since the 1950s and hasn't reached the two per cent mark since the late 1980s. NATO says that, based on its estimate of which expenditures count toward the target, Canada spent $41 billion in 2024 on defence, or 1.37 per cent of GDP. That's more than twice what it spent in 2014, when the two per cent target was first set; that year, Canada spent $20.1 billion, or 1.01 per cent of GDP, on defence. In 2014, only three NATO members achieved the two per cent target — the U.S., the U.K., and Greece. In 2025, all members are expected to hit it. Any agreement to adopt a new spending benchmark must be ratified by all 32 NATO member states. Former Canadian ambassador to NATO Kerry Buck told The Canadian Press the condensed agenda is likely meant to 'avoid public rifts among allies,' describing Trump as an 'uncertainty engine.' 'The national security environment has really, really shifted,' Buck said, adding allies next door to Russia face the greatest threats. 'There is a high risk that the U.S. would undercut NATO at a time where all allies are increasingly vulnerable.' Trump has suggested the U.S. might abandon its mutual defence commitment to the alliance if member countries don't ramp up defence spending. 'Whatever we can do to get through this NATO summit with few public rifts between the U.S. and other allies on anything, and satisfy a very long-standing U.S. demand to rebalance defence spending, that will be good for Canada because NATO's good for Canada,' Buck said. Carney has already made two trips to Europe this year — the first to London and Paris to meet with European allies and the second to Rome to attend the inaugural mass of Pope Leo XIV.
