Artificial Intelligence is increasingly becoming indispensable for large businesses, providing them with tools to drive efficiency, innovation, and competitive advantage. As AI technology continues to evolve, the importance it has to large enterprises is underscored by significant investments and impressive returns. For example, the ability of AI to automate and optimize business processes is one of the most significant advantages for large companies. AI-driven automation can streamline supply chain management, optimize logistics, and improve customer service through chatbots and personalized recommendations. According to a report by McKinsey, companies that fully leverage AI could see a 20-25% increase in cash flow.

In financial services, AI is transforming risk management, fraud detection, and customer insights. JPMorgan Chase, for instance, uses AI to review legal documents, a task that used to take thousands of hours of manual work, now accomplished in mere seconds. In the pharmaceutical industry, AI is accelerating drug discovery processes. For instance, companies like Pfizer have used AI to analyze vast datasets to identify potential drug candidates much faster than traditional methods. This not only speeds up the time-to-market for new drugs but also significantly reduces research and development costs, which are estimated to average around $2.6 billion per drug.
Moreover, AI is enabling companies to offer more personalized experiences to customers. Retail giants like Amazon and Walmart use AI algorithms to analyze customer behavior and preferences, tailoring recommendations that enhance the shopping experience and increase sales. Amazon’s recommendation engine, powered by AI, is responsible for 35% of the company’s total sales. NVIDIA, a leader in AI hardware, exemplifies how AI can drive business success. In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the company reported $30 billion in revenue, with AI contributing significantly to this figure. The company’s GPUs are the backbone of AI models used across industries, from autonomous vehicles to large-scale data analysis, demonstrating the critical role AI plays in both revenue generation and technological advancement.

Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:CEG) generates and sells electricity in the United States. The increase in demand for power due to AI data center build has put a spotlight on energy firms. Morgan Stanley predicted earlier this week that increasing prices of electricity would benefit companies like CEG in the coming months. The investment bank predicts that capacity prices for most of the PJM coverage area could hit a $695/MW-day price cap, more than double the record-high $270/MW-day reached in the PJM July capacity auction and driven by tight power supplies.
Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:CEG) stands to benefit from these developments. Morgan Stanley has forecast that the potential jump in capacity prices for the 2026-27 delivery year auction set for December would push energy bills higher, and when combined with the previous capacity auction, the next auction could increase residential electricity bills by around 20%, according to market experts at the bank.
Overall CEG ranks 8th on our list of the AI stocks that broke the Internet this week. While we acknowledge the potential of CEG as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter timeframe. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than CEG but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
