10 Best Performing AI Stocks in 2025

5. Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:CEG)

Year-to-Date (YTD) Performance: 41.84%

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 78

Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:CEG) is an energy provider specializing in clean, carbon-free energy solutions. It is a strong long-term investment in energy and artificial intelligence, and its year-to-date performance justifies this optimism.

On January 30, BofA lowered the firm’s price target on the stock to $366 from $380 and kept a “Buy” rating on the shares. The rating followed the broad market sell-off following news of the emergence of DeepSeek and its cheaper and more efficient AI models. Investors were concerned that DeepSeek’s models could drastically reduce the need for electricity to power data centers.

Analysts from BofA noted that the selloff was “an overreaction to this news”. The firm said that data center demand is likely to stay strong over the intermediate term, but there is “a lower probability of the mega growth bull case” over the longer term.
