Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stocks are among Jefferies’ top artificial intelligence (AI) picks. After conducting an in-depth analysis, Jefferies analyst Brent Thill recommended owning Microsoft and Amazon stock as they remained well-positioned to capitalize on enterprise demand. Thill has a success rate of 71% and 73% on AMZN and MSFT, respectively. Moreover, the analyst increased MSFT’s price target to $550 from $465, implying about 31% upside potential from current levels. 

In addition to MSFT and AMZN, Thill recommends investing in Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stocks to capitalize on the consumer end market. He also suggests considering CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) and views it as a leading AI cybersecurity company.

While Thill is bullish about these stocks, let’s leverage TipRanks’ Stock comparison tool to understand what the future holds for these companies.
