Investors fear uncertainty will freeze business decision-making and slow growth.

Investing in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks has become increasingly appealing, especially with the growth potential of certain companies. Alphabet, the parent company of Google, and the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF stand out as prime choices for those looking to invest $500 in AI.

The "Magnificent Seven" that propelled the broader market to record heights in recent years has been flipped on its head this year. All but two stocks in the group are in the red to start 2026, with Microsoft down nearly 18% and Tesla and Amazon each shedding more than 8%. Google-parent Alphabet , crowned one of the leading artificial intelligence winners of 2025, is roughly flat while chipmaking darling Nvidia is up just 1% this year. The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGS) is down nearly 6% year to date. The declines come amid a flurry of concerns about these companies' soaring capital expenditures on artificial intelligence — and their ability to meet increasingly high earnings growth expectations.

Here's the scoreboard on some major AI funds lately: the Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF (AIQ) is down 17% since June 2; the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGS) has dropped 10.8% since May 28, and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) has fallen 21% since June 22. But little has changed regarding the bullish drivers behind these trades, the bank said. "We believe a meaningful driver of weakness has been technical rather than fundamental," Stephen Byrd, an analyst at the bank, wrote in the note. To play the recent dip, Morgan Stanley shared a basket of stocks it rates "overweight" across multiple AI themes. One major theme the bank likes within the broader AI trade is energy and energy storage, the latter of which analysts described as a "standout" sector of the market. Buying the dip in AI power stocks has so far been an effective strategy, Morgan Stanley has found. Ramping up exposure after 5% and 15% declines has led to hypothetical returns of 175% since the start of 2023,...
