3 Under-the-Radar Stocks That Can 10X by 2036
And like Ferrari, Taiwan Semiconductor's results speak for themselves. Only they speak even louder than Ferrari's.
Per Taiwan Semiconductor's full-year 2025 results, the company brought in net revenue of $122.4 billion, up 35.9% over 2024. It grew its gross profit margin and operating margin 3.8 percentage points and 5.1 percentage points over 2024 to 59.9% and 50.8% respectively. And Taiwan Semiconductor grew its diluted EPS 46.4% over 2024.
On the balance sheet side of the equation, Taiwan Semiconductor grew its operating cash flow 24.6%, its free cash flow 15.2%, and its cash and marketable securities reserve by 26.7%.
The only worrying metric was that its capital expenditures (capex) were up 33% over 2024, but that was still outpaced by its revenue growth. So ultimately, I don't think it's too concerning.
Just about every piece of technology we use today requires semiconductors, and artificial intelligence (AI) is especially hungry for them. Taiwan Semiconductor's high-end chips in particular have cornered the market.
That makes this one a pick-and-shovel play for not only AI but the entire tech industry. Give it a look if you're looking for a one-ticker industrywide play.
3. Chain reaction
Finally, I want to talk about BWX Technologies (NYSE: BWXT), a nuclear engineering company set to capitalize on the small modular reactor (SMR) trend. SMR are miniaturized nuclear reactors that could theoretically be used to power remote installations and data centers among other things.
But BWX has a long history of building pint-sized nuclear technology. Since it helped pioneer the reactor aboard the USS Nautilus, the world's first nuclear-powered submarine, BWX has produced over 400 naval nuclear reactors.
And while many of its competitors in the SMR space are on shoestring budgets, BWX bucks that trend.
For the whole of 2025, the company brought in $3.19 billion, up 18% over 2024. Its net income margin hit 15% and it grew its EPS 20% over 2024. BWX also saw its operating cash flow grow 17%.
BWX is a company on the rise in a nuclear industry experiencing a renaissance thanks to renewed interest both from the government and from big tech companies looking to meet the power needs of their AI data center projects. And with BWX's financial position as strong as it is, I think it's worth a look right now.
