Additionally, JPMorgan is identifying significant prospects in private markets.<\/p>\n<p>            <strong>&#8216;Worldwide Exchange&#8217; Pick: Amkor Technology (AMKR)<\/strong><br \/>\n            <br \/>\n            Nancy Prial from Essex Investment Management highlights Amkor Technology, a semiconductor testing and packaging firm, as a dual play in AI and nearshoring. &#8220;We like it as a backdoor AI play,&#8221; Prial stated. &#8220;They supply outsourced assembly and test equipment, which is crucial for advanced packaging needed for sophisticated chips, servers, and data centers.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>            In August, Apple made headlines by announcing an investment in Amkor. Prial emphasized, &#8220;It&#8217;s the only outsourced assembly and test manufacturer with a significant presence in the United States while also maintaining operations overseas. We believe they have several tailwinds supporting their growth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>            <strong>Bullish Call on Nvidia<\/strong><br \/>\n            <br \/>\n            Robert Schein of Blanke Schein Wealth Management has a strong stance on Nvidia, urging investors not to underestimate the chip giant. Following Nvidia&#8217;s announcement of a $100 billion investment into OpenAI, Schein remarked, &#8220;Don&#8217;t fight Nvidia.&#8221; He sees potential for further growth, particularly in quantum computing. <\/p>\n<p>            &#8220;There&#8217;s another sector or leg up of growth potentially,&#8221; Schein noted. &#8220;The market is also exploring the robotics trade and its contributions to industrial automation, extending beyond just GPUs and data centers. I believe you don&#8217;t want to bet against Nvidia moving forward, as there\u2019s another chapter yet to unfold.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>            <strong>Evaluating Opportunities in Private Markets<\/strong><br \/>\n            <br \/>\n            Sitara Sundar from JPMorgan identifies software as the next major beneficiary of the artificial intelligence boom, estimating the sector&#8217;s potential at $3 trillion to $5 trillion. However, she emphasizes that the most promising opportunities will arise in private markets, where private companies constitute approximately 95% of the software landscape.<\/p>\n<p>            &#8220;The infrastructure developments have primarily occurred in public markets,&#8221; Sundar explained. &#8220;We believe we are on the brink of a transition towards the application layer and platform technology layer. This shift signifies a move from software as a service to service as software, which essentially means automating core business functions and certain aspects of the labor force. This presents a significant opportunity set.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>            &#8220;Currently, we anticipate that the majority of these companies will emerge from private markets within the next decade.&#8221;<br \/>\n            <br \/>\n            (Learn the best 2026 strategies from inside the NYSE with Josh Brown and others at CNBC PRO Live.
