By Geoffrey Seiler – Mar 20, 2026 at 5:15PM ESTKey PointsNvidia's stock is cheap, but it isn't resting on its laurels.Meta has a long runway of growth in front of it.Salesforce has positioned itself to be a leader in agentic AI. With the market off its highs, some nice stocks in the tech sector currently look mispriced. Let's look at three attractively valued artificial intelligence (AI) stocks to buy right now. 1. Nvidia Trading at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just 22 times this year's fiscal year's analyst estimates, and 17 times next year's consensus, Nvidia (NVDA 3.17%) stock looks mispriced. The company is the king of AI infrastructure, growing at a rapid pace, and it has no plans to give up its throne, despite increased competition. Image source: Getty Images. The company continues to innovate across both software and hardware, and it is still taking some big swings. While it is the clear leader in AI model training, the company is diving headfirst into improving its inference offering and readying itself for agentic AI.

Meanwhile, its newly announced partnership with OpenClaw sets it up to be an agentic AI leader. 2.

Meta Platforms Trading at less than 21 times 2026 analyst earnings estimates and below 17.5 times 2027 estimates, Meta Platforms (META 2.11%) stock looks like a bargain for a company that has been able to apply AI to accelerate the growth of its core business. While it has big spending plans and has had mixed results with its AI investments so far, one thing is certain: The company knows how to use AI to grow its ad business.

Meanwhile, the company still has a long runway of growth as it continues to use AI to improve its recommendation engine, keeping users on its platforms longer, and helping advertisers better target and convert users, leading to higher ad prices. With it just starting to serve ads on WhatsApp and Threads, it should see strong growth for many years to come. 3. Salesforce Following the software-as-a-service (SaaS) sell-off, Salesforce (CRM +0.06%) trades at a forward price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of 4 times and a forward P/E of 15 times. That's an attractive valuation for a company that just projected it would grow its revenue at a more than 10% annual clip through 2030 and is positioning itself to be a leader in agentic AI.

This is imperative in the upcoming age of agentic AI, as AI agents will need to draw on clean, structured data to avoid costly mistakes. Salesforce is playing the long game, and I wouldn't miss out on this opportunity when the stock is cheap.Read NextMar 20, 2026 •By Patrick SandersThe Best Stocks to Invest $10,000 In Right NowMar 20, 2026 •By Adam Spatacco3 AI Stocks Trading at Bargain Prices After the Recent Sell-OffMar 20, 2026 •By Will Healy2 Stocks That Can (Mostly) Escape the Impact of High Oil PricesMar 20, 2026 •By Neil PatelIs Nvidia Stock Going to $500?Mar 19, 2026 •By Harsh Chauhan1 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock With Generational Wealth PotentialMar 19, 2026 •By Jack DelaneyPrediction: The Agentic AI Market Could Grow 10X by 2030.
