These stocks almost died... now some of them are up more than 100% in just one year. MarketBeat analyst Jeffrey Neal Johnson joins me to break down five comeback stocks that have made huge turnarounds, all thanks to a big pivot into AI.
These are names you'll absolutely recognize. A few of them were on their deathbed not long ago. We cover a former phone maker that now powers the operating systems inside smart cars, a telecom company positioning cell towers to become tiny AI data centers, a classic calculator company making the chips that help the big AI chips run, a glass company that's been around since the 1800s and now solves one of AI's biggest bottlenecks, and an internet backbone company building cybersecurity right into the router.
We also dig into the big question for all five... is the turnaround already priced in, or is there still a long runway ahead?
