Just been looking at some of the AI-related plays that are actually crushing it this year, and it's interesting how three stocks with strong Zacks ratings are standing out while the broader tech sector gets beaten down. SanDisk is absolutely on fire - up nearly 140% YTD as demand for storage in AI data centers exploded. Makes sense when you think about it, the infrastructure needed to run all these AI workloads is massive. Their latest numbers show $2.3B in revenue, up 22% year-over-year. Western Digital is another one worth watching, up over 50% and sitting at a similar strength rating. They're basically positioned right in the middle of the AI infrastructure wave with hyperscalers and cloud providers needing their tech. Plus they've got roughly a 20% stake in SanDisk, so they're benefiting both ways. Then there's Teradyne - up 60% - which makes chip testing equipment. As AI chips get more complex, the demand for testing gear naturally follows. All three are showing solid EPS outlooks too. The pattern here is pretty clear: stocks directly tied to AI infrastructure demand are having a completely different year than the software side of tech. If you're doing any stock analysis right now, the AI supply chain angle seems like the place to actually find winners instead of chasing the hype.
