Cantor analysts predict semiconductor stocks will lead the market in 2026, pointing to sustained demand for AI computing alongside tight supply across memory and storage.

Cantor analysts are bullish on segment leaders, including Nvidia, Micron Technology (Nasdaq: MU), Applied Materials (Nasdaq: AMAT) and Lam Research (Nasdaq: LRCX), among others.
