Three AI Stocks Surged More Than 200% After 'Bullish' Flips By Ethan Goldman, analyst, Chaikin Analytics The AI boom is still minting investors tons of money... On Friday, three large-cap, AI-related stocks posted massive gains – as in soaring more than 10%. But that isn't the only reason this surge excited me... You see, through last week, every one of these stocks more than doubled since the start of 2026. And the Power Gauge remains "very bullish" on all of them. Put simply, it feels like the unbridled enthusiasm over the AI megatrend is back in full swing. However, this doesn't mean you should blindly throw money into these stocks right now... After all, the past few months have shown us firsthand just how volatile the markets can be. In times like these, the Power Gauge can show us where to put our money to work... You see, I noticed another critical similarity between these three stocks. The Power Gauge flagged the same positive signal for each stock before they went on to surge more than 200%. Even better, this rapid growth took less than a year to play out. Let me show you what I mean...

The Power Gauge Sees 'Under the Hood' I'm talking about Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Micron Technology (MU), and Intel (INTC). As I said, each one of these stocks jumped by double-digit percentages last Friday. And through last week, all three more than doubled since the start of 2026. Meanwhile, the State Street SPDR S&P 500 Fund (SPY) grew by just less than a percentage point on Friday. And since the beginning of the year through Friday's close, it's up about 8%. Take a look at the chart below... Folks, that's impressive growth by any measure. Intel's gain is particularly eye-popping... As regular readers might recall, back on September 26, I speculated that Nvidia's (NVDA) $5 billion investment in Intel could save the company... I didn't need to wait long to see that happen. On October 23, the Power Gauge flipped Intel's rating to "bullish" after a long stretch in "neutral" territory. I discussed this change – and the growth that followed – on April 15. I noted that Intel's stock had soared 67% since the Power Gauge had given it a "bullish" rating. Fast-forward to the end of last week, and the gain is even better since that "bullish" flip – about 227%. This isn't an isolated case, folks... The Power Gauge also gave AMD and Micron a positive rating before they each went on to soar more than 200%. To verify this, I found the last time these stocks got a pure "neutral" rating. Since a "neutral+" rating happens when a "bullish" or better stock is seeing temporary weakness, I didn't pay attention to that grade. Then, I noted the closing price of each stock on the day of that "bullish" flip. Take a look at the returns... You'll see that Intel's 227% gain is actually the smallest return of the three. AMD surged 260% after its "bullish" rating change. And Micron spiked by a massive 493%. Of course, we know the Power Gauge's rating change didn't cause the share prices to surge. And of course, the Power Gauge won't always accurately predict a huge surge ahead for a stock. But our system simply detected that something "under the hood" of each stock changed. Now, you would be sitting on some incredible gains if you bought each stock when its Power Gauge rating turned positive after a pure "neutral" grade... But as I said, this doesn't mean you should blindly throw money into these stocks if you haven't already. Instead, continue to use the Power Gauge to hunt down stocks that recently flipped "bullish." This method could help spot stocks that are likely to soar in the coming months.
