2 Battered Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks Near 52-Week Lows That Are Screaming Buys Now Keithen Drury, The Motley Fool Fri, June 26, 2026 at 11:33 AM PDT 4 min read NVDA Picking up stocks when they're trading near their 52-week lows is a popular investing strategy. The general idea is that if you buy stocks at cyclical lows, then you can sell them higher when they rebound. That doesn't always work out, because sometimes stocks have lost value for good reasons. What you really need to look for are stocks near their 52-week lows that appear to be mispriced. If you can find a company with a strong core business and a cheap stock price, then you've found a real value stock that's worth buying. I think these two fit that description.

For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue Microsoft Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has had a rough go as of late; the stock is down by around 30% from its all-time highs. Although it bounced from the 52-week low that it reached in April, this month, it has been sinking back toward that level again. The sell-off doesn't make a ton of sense because Microsoft's business looks fantastic. In its fiscal 2026 third quarter (which ended March 31), revenue rose 18% year over year. In addition, Azure cloud revenue increased by 40%, and its AI segment's annual revenue run rate rose 123% to a $37 billion. Looking just at those figures, one would not expect Microsoft's stock to be doing so poorly. From a valuation perspective, it also looks like an absolute steal. Because Microsoft's fiscal year ends on June 30, it's best to use next year's earnings projections to gauge the forward valuation of the stock. MSFT PE Ratio (Forward 1y) data by YCharts Trading at just over 19 times next year's expected earnings, Microsoft is cheaper than the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), which trades for 22 times forward earnings. That's a low price to pay for a company that by all accounts is doing quite well. Adobe Many investors have written off Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE) as an AI victim. This sentiment makes sense, as a lot of the things that Adobe's creative design software has long helped artists do are things that can, in principle, be handled by AI. However, that hasn't been the case yet. The reality is that AI programs don't offer the level of control that Adobe's products offer, and for graphic designers, control over the final product is everything. Instead of abandoning its current products, Adobe is integrating AI features into its ecosystem to give creators both the enhanced tools they want and the control they demand. This helps explain why Adobe's revenue growth has stayed fairly steady during a period when...
