AI funding headlines are getting louder again, with Anthropic’s huge IPO ambitions, Meta’s planned stock sale and SpaceX’s chip leasing push all pointing to one thing: capital is still pouring into the infrastructure behind machine learning. That tide can lift or expose a lot of portfolios. This article walks through three AI infrastructure leaders from our screener that look most exposed to this news wave, and why that matters for you now.
The three stocks that follow are only a sample from this AI infrastructure idea, and the full screen surfaced 37 more large cap companies with equally compelling narratives that are not covered in the article below.
To identify and analyze the highest conviction AI infrastructure opportunities in one place, head straight to the Publicly Listed AI Infrastructure Leaders (Hyperscalers, Leading Model Developers & Key Enablers) screener
Procore Technologies (PCOR)
Overview: Procore Technologies runs a cloud-based construction management platform that helps owners, contractors, and project teams coordinate work, data, and finances across complex building projects.
Operations: Procore generates about US$1.4b from Internet Software & Services, with roughly US$1.2b coming from the United States and the rest internationally.
Market Cap: US$9.6b
Procore Technologies may not own the data centers powering generative AI, but its cloud platform increasingly sits alongside those projects as the digital control room for how they get built and managed.
"Procore Technologies announced a definitive agreement to acquire DroneDeploy in an all cash deal valued at about US$845 million, with the aim of adding aerial and ground reality capture capabilities to its construction management platform."
What happens if one unseen pressure on how quickly construction clients embrace these AI infused tools shifts even slightly in either direction?
If that pressure point matters to your portfolio, read the full narrative for Procore Technologies to see how Procore Technologies could accelerate or stall as AI construction spending evolves.
