7 AI Stocks Under $50 Set to Lead the Second Wave of Innovation - 7 of 7

 
 

#7 - Rekor Systems (NASDAQ:REKR)

The last name on this list is Rekor Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: REKR). The company provides infrastructure solutions for transportation, public safety, and urban mobility markets. Its mission is to make the world safer, smarter, and greener. 

Among the company’s platforms is Rekor One, its in-house, AI-powered roadway intelligence platform. The company is well-positioned to provide innovative solutions as the United States rebuilds its transportation infrastructure.  

REKR stock was down about 50% in 2024. However, it’s worth noting that the stock climbed about 75% in December. This bucked the trend of many technology stocks, which were beaten down. 

Like many of the companies on this list, Rekor Systems is not yet profitable. However, if the company continues to grow its revenue at the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) it has managed for the last four years, it may hit its goal of profitability by the end of its 2024 fiscal year, which will be in the middle of 2025. 

Before considering an investment, you should know that only one analyst covers Rekor Systems. But that analyst gives REKR stock a Strong Buy rating.

You may be skeptical about the first wave of AI, let alone the second wave. But all you have to think about is the device on which you may be reading this. The smartphone was part of the second, if not the third, wave of the internet. And its widespread adoption proves that we frequently don't see the biggest ideas until they're here. 

That's what many experts say will be the case with AI. In fact, according to Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) CEO Satya Nadella, “This next generation of AI will reshape every software category and every business, including our own."  

That's why now is the time to buy these stocks. Because after these stocks become household names, the biggest gains will be gone. And you'll be wishing you had heard about them when they were still inexpensive to own. That's how many investors are feeling about stocks like Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR). 

It's impossible to predict if any of these stocks will be the next Palantir. However, each one operates on the premise of helping businesses leverage AI for monetizatio, and they all have the support of analysts.
