class=\"\">ai stocks are companies that generate revenue from ai-related products and services. the value chain has three main layers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">hardware and chips.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">\u00a0companies that make the physical components. nvidia is the dominant supplier of gpus used to train and run ai models. its data centre revenue more than doubled in fy2025\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">. micron makes memory chips in huge demand for ai data centers. management expects &#8220;tightness&#8221; in the memory chip market to persist beyond 2027\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">. semiconductor revenue rose 33% in october 2025, driven by the ai boom\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">cloud and infrastructure.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">\u00a0the companies that provide the computing power. amazon web services provides ai infrastructure to thousands of businesses. alphabet&#8217;s google cloud segment saw revenues surge 63% year-on-year last quarter\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">. these are the hyperscalers spending hundreds of billions on data centers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">software and applications.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">\u00a0the layer where ai meets the user. palantir turns enterprise data into ai-driven decisions. salesforce is pushing ai agents across its customer base. serviceNow automates workflows using ai. these companies embed ai into tools businesses already use\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"us_focused_vs_india_opportunities\"><\/span><strong><span class=\"\">us focused

journey is different from buying indian stocks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">buying individual us stocks.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">\u00a0platforms like vested, indmoney, and hdfc securities global investing allow direct purchase of us stocks\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">. fractional shares are available. this allows buying a portion of high-priced stocks. amazon at $3,000 per share becomes accessible with $300.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"taxation_of_us_ai_stocks\"><\/span><strong><span class=\"\">taxation of us ai stocks<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">us stocks are treated as unlisted securities for indian tax purposes. this changes the holding period for long-term capital gains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">holding period.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">\u00a0gains are long-term only if held for more than 24 months. gains within 24 months are short-term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">tax rates.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">\u00a0long-term gains are taxed at 12.5% without indexation. short-term gains are added to total income and taxed at the investor&#8217;s slab rate. for someone in the 30% slab, short-term gains are taxed at 30%. long-term gains at 12.5%. the difference is significant.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

risk.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">\u00a060% of economists surveyed flagged a potential ai bubble or slowdown in ai-related capex as a key downside risk\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">. concentration in a handful of stocks has pushed valuations to elevated levels. nvidia trades at roughly 24x forward earnings. that is a premium to the s&amp;p 500, but not an extreme one\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">winner-take-all dynamics.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">\u00a0technology themes often

quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">regulatory and geopolitical risk.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">\u00a0export restrictions on chips to china affect the addressable market for companies like nvidia. rising trade tensions create uncertainty. the us-iran conflict has been flagged as a downside risk\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"\">currency risk.<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"\">\u00a0investments in us stocks are exposed to rupee-dollar movements. a depreciating rupee can add to returns. an appreciating rupee can reduce them. the rupee depreciated roughly 7% since the start of 2026, adding to inflationary pressures\u00a0<\/span><span

class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">nvidia, micron, and alphabet are among the most widely cited. nvidia leads in gpus. micron benefits from memory chip demand. alphabet&#8217;s cloud

stocks or ai etfs ?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span class=\"\">individual stocks offer concentrated exposure to the best performers. etfs offer diversified exposure.
