How Trump's AI Project Stargate Could Boost These Tech Stocks

President Trump's new AI project, Stargate, is creating a buzz among tech stocks. This $500-billion venture, joining forces between OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank, aims to beef up the U. S. 's AI infrastructure. Since the announcement, Oracle's shares have surged by nearly 15%, and Microsoft's by 3%. Microsoft is already an investor in OpenAI, which might be why its shares have seen a smaller boost. Wall Street experts see this move as a positive step, saying it will increase demand for computing power and electricity. This could lead to more investments in grid infrastructure and power transmission. Goldman Sachs thinks Oracle and Microsoft will be the big winners here. For now, Microsoft might benefit more due to its strong financial situation. Oracle might take longer to see the benefits, as setting up AI datacenters takes time. TD Cowen expects Oracle to benefit from handling some of OpenAI's workloads, which could boost its cloud revenues significantly. Microsoft, on the other hand, can use more graphics processing units for better results and efficiency. This could help ease supply constraints and speed up Azure's growth. Besides Oracle and Microsoft, other companies like Arista Networks and Pure Storage could also reap the benefits of Stargate. Arista's strong position in ethernet switching and Pure Storage's storage solutions make them potential winners too.
