Prediction: This Artificial Intelligence Stock Will Be More Valuable Than Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft in 5 Years
Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft are the three most valuable stocks in the world today.
In five years, however, Amazon could overtake them due to the enormous opportunities it possesses in artificial intelligence.
These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires ›
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) are the three most valuable stocks in the world right now, with market caps north of $3 trillion. They are prominent names in tech, and all stand to benefit significantly from artificial intelligence (AI) as they enhance their existing products and services.
But while these stocks have all been doing well, I'm not confident that they will remain on top when looking at the longer term -- the next five years. By then, I think one company will surpass all of them in value, and that's Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN).
While Amazon is already a massive company, and it, too, is worth a sizable amount -- over $2 trillion, I see plenty of room for it to become even more valuable. Here are just some of the AI-related opportunities that the company is pursuing:
The company is rolling out Alexa+, an AI-powered version of its popular assistant, which will cost $19.99 per month for non-Prime subscribers.
It invested billions into Anthropic, a key rival of ChatGPT.
Amazon plans to invest over $100 billion into data centers over the next decade.
Its subsidiary, Zoox, is developing robotaxis that can drive up to 45 miles per hour at night and amid light rain.
It is developing its own AI chips -- which even Apple has used.
There are a plethora of opportunities for Amazon when it comes to AI. For a business that generated nearly $33 billion in free cash flow last year, it has the resources at its disposal to continue investing heavily in AI, which can pay off significantly in the future. From enhancing its online marketplace to entering in new opportunities like robotaxis, it arguably has more to gain from AI than the tech stocks that are more highly valued than it is right now.
Amazon has plenty of growth potential ahead, but for it to catch up to the big three, it'll probably need them to stumble. Here's why I think that will happen.
Microsoft Copilot has been underwhelming, with Salesforce's Marc Benioff often comparing it to Clippy from years past, which was a big disappointment. While it's infused into the company's office applications, it isn't turning out to be a huge growth catalyst for the business, at least not yet. Microsoft is the safe AI stock to buy, but it may not be the best one, as Copilot will be going up against other chatbots. And it's hard to make the case that it's winning. The company's sales were up just 13% in the most recent quarter (covering the first three months of the year).
Apple fumbled the rollout of AI, delaying the launch of Apple Intelligence and frustrating both analysts and customers along the way. It gave up on its electric car and has been scaling back on its Vision Pro headset. Innovation simply hasn't been a strong point for the company in recent years, and while it does have a strong ecosystem of products and services, there's little reason to expect the company will be at the forefront of AI development in the future. The stock could be due for a decline, given how lackluster its performance has been on that front.
Nvidia continually performs well, but in the years ahead, there could be more competition to worry about. Rival Advanced Micro Devices recently posted a strong quarter, perhaps signaling proof that its chips may offer serious competition. Meanwhile, as Amazon and other companies make their own custom chips, Nvidia's high-priced products may experience a slowdown. At the very least, investors may scale back the multiples they're willing to pay for Nvidia.
Amazon was involved in AI well before ChatGPT made it a hot buzzword in the market. The company has looked for ways to automate its warehouses and use next-gen technologies to make its processes more efficient. With so many ways to still benefit from AI's growth, I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes the most valuable stock in the world in the next five years. Amazon is a top growth stock to own, and one that you can buy and forget about.

Microsoft Confirms Windows 11 Automatic Deletions: Take Action Now To Protect Yourself
Microsoft's Windows 11 creates System Restore points, that is, snapshots of your PC's system files, settings and registry. But those points expire and are automatically deleted after 60 days, Microsoft has now confirmed. Users can protect themselves by creating regular System Restore points. 'With System Restore you can revert your PC's state to a previous point in time. By using System Restore, you can undo these changes without affecting your personal files,' Microsoft says. Windows 11 Which is great, but those restore points don't last forever, so it's important to know exactly how long they are there for. Previous documentation suggested that on Windows 10, restore points could last as long as 90 days. Windows Latest reports that 'After Windows 11's release in 2021, the retention period has been anywhere between 10 and 90 days (mostly 10 days),' it says. Ten days really isn't long, but there's good news. In a new support document relating to the June 10 update, Microsoft is a bit more specific. 'After installing the June 2025 Windows security update, Windows 11, version 24H2 will retain system restore points for up to 60 days. To apply a restore point, select Open System Restore. Restore points older than 60 days are not available. This 60-day limit will also apply to future versions of Windows 11, version 24H2,' it says. In other words, Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 11 System Restore points will be deleted after 60 days, so you need to periodically create restore points. That's not as good as 90 days, obviously, but way better than 10 days. 'This will give you multiple snapshots, but Windows will still delete the oldest ones once they exceed the retention window (now 60 days on Windows 11 24H2 by default),' says Windows Latest. To create your own System Restore point, as Windows Latest explains, you open Start and search for 'Create a restore point,' which will open System Protection tab in System Properties. Next, under Protection Settings, check that one of the partitions where you're going to put the backup is protected. Choose that partition and Configure to turn on protection. Then, click Create and follow the onscreen instructions. This will last for 60 days. Now that the deletion date is clear, it seems like creating one every few weeks is good practice.

'Not Having Wireless CarPlay in a $30K Car Is Kinda Crazy,' Says Honda Civic Driver. Then He Finds a Workaround
Your phone charges wirelessly, your earbuds sync automatically, and your car might even drive itself. So why are so many drivers still plugging in cords like it's 2014 just to use CarPlay? In a series of TikToks, creator Bishi (@bishifindsdeals) reveals that the 2025 Honda Civic Sport model is still reliant on wires to access apps and other functions from a smartphone. Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . 'I love my Honda Civic so much, but one thing I hate the most about this car is that it does not come with wireless CarPlay at all,' Bishi says. His post has been viewed 150,000 times as of this writing. Bishi captions it, 'Not having wireless carplay in a 30k car is kinda crazy.' His post notes that it is eligible for commission. Bishi then lists numerous options to add some wireless living to cars still rocking that tether. These devices act as intermediary dongles that spoof a wired connection between a smartphone and the vehicle's infotainment system. Once paired via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, they trick the car into thinking a physical cable is connected, enabling wireless CarPlay in vehicles that technically only support it through a wired connection. They're not made or endorsed by Apple, and buyers report that they vary in quality. But the right device can provide a wireless upgrade for people who drive older models or those in new base-model vehicles. Why Don't Automakers Include Wireless? Trending Now 'It Works:' Woman Shares How to Find Out if Furniture Fits in Your Car—Before You Buy From Facebook Marketplace 'He Wears That Little, Dangly Cross Earring:' Woman Says 'Car Guys' Are Major 'Red Flags' for Dating. Is She onto Something? Honda, Toyota, Mazda, and Hyundai often only include the feature in higher trim levels or as an optional infotainment add-on. The reason usually boils down to a combination of cost and technical complexity. Wireless CarPlay requires more than just Bluetooth; it depends on dual-band Wi-Fi (typically 5 GHz) to handle the bandwidth required for smooth audio and screen projection. That requires different antennas, more robust processing, and a system to manage thermal output, especially in dashboard units with limited space and airflow. Carmakers aiming to keep base model prices competitive often opt to leave those components out. There's also the issue of licensing and software integration. While Apple doesn't publish its licensing fees publicly, it's widely reported in industry forums and analyst reports that integrating CarPlay—especially wirelessly—adds to both unit and development costs. For automakers already facing narrow profit margins on entry-level vehicles, that added expense might not be worth it. Modern World, Outdated Technology Not having wireless capabilities in a vehicle in 2025 seems out of step with most consumer expectations. Physically tethering a phone to a USB cable just to get navigation on your dash feels outdated. Perhaps particularly so in a world where features like heated seats and adaptive cruise control were once luxuries, but now often come standard. Many drivers now view wireless smartphone integration as another baseline requirement . Instead, they're met with feature segmentation that positions wireless CarPlay as an upsell, bundled with premium infotainment packages or only available on trims that push the total price several thousand dollars higher. This gap between expectation and reality has given rise to a growing aftermarket ecosystem, especially among younger drivers comfortable with DIY tech. Plug-in adapters that enable wireless CarPlay are now widely available through Amazon, TikTok Shop, and direct-to-consumer e-commerce platforms. Some are from known brands like Carlinkit or Ottocast, which offer Federal Communications Commission-certified devices with regular firmware updates. You can also buy from less established brands. But while many work well enough, customers mention issues including laggy connections, audio dropout, and software bugs. More importantly, these dongles function by spoofing a wired connection, something Apple has never officially supported and which raises questions about security, stability, and compatibility with future iOS updates. Still, if you, like Bish, can't bear to plug in your phone to use wireless, those aftermarket products may be just the solution. 'Let's be honest, it's the big 2025, so you can't be seen using wires just to get some CarPlay in your car,' he says. Motor1 contacted Bishi via direct message.
