This list of under-the-radar AI stocks starts with one of the bluest of the blue-chip stocks. Deere & Company (NYSE: DE) is an iconic company that is a leader in several industries, including agriculture, construction, and forestry.
Deere is not an under-the-radar stock by any means. However, it’s not immediately clear that investors are pricing in the company’s leadership in AI. The company has a long history of innovation. And in 2023, AI is part of its buying thesis. The company is developing intelligent, connected machines, including self-driving tractors, that are helping farmers improve crop production and lower costs.
If you’re looking for a 10x or even a 2x stock, DE stock is not the one for you. However, if you want exposure to AI without buying an ETF, Deere is a solid choice. The stock is up more than 183% in the last five years. It also pays a reliable dividend with a yield of 1.19% that currently pays $5 per share annually.
