If you follow the stock market, you’ve quickly become familiar with the name DeepSeek. The debut of the ChatGPT competitor’s latest model caused an absolute bloodbath for AI stocks in January 2025, with big-name players like Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA<\/a>)<\/strong> sacrificing significant value during the week of 1\/27\/2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeepSeek has proven its power to move the markets. It might have you thinking … how can I invest in DeepSeek?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spoiler: DeepSeek isn\u2019t a public company, so there isn’t a DeepSeek stock. But there are stocks that could potentially benefit if it keeps trending. But before we get to them, a few basics…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is DeepSeek?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DeepSeek is a Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company. It was founded in 2023 by Liang Wenfeng, a Zhejiang University grad. DeepSeek specializes in developing open-source large language models (LLMs).<\/p>\n\n\n

In a relatively short period of time, DeepSeek has gained significant attention for its innovative approaches in AI development. Why? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, one of its jewels is the DeepSeek-R1 model, which is a direct challenger to OpenAI’s GPT-4 which is a fraction of the cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do they charge so much less? Lower costs. DeepSeek claims that training their recent models cost approximately $5.6 million \u2014 mega millions less than the $100 million to $1 billion tallies racked up by American labs like OpenAI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cost-effectiveness is attributed to innovative technical approaches and the use of existing open-source models as a foundation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeepSink vs. Nvidia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the week of 1\/27\/2025, it looked like DeepSeek could deepsink <\/em>Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA<\/a>).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeepSeek fear\/excitement also led to significant losses for Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA<\/a>),<\/strong> Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL<\/a>), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN<\/a>)<\/strong>, and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT<\/a>)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

The company’s achievements also highlight China’s potential to compete with the U.S. in AI technology, even under export controls, by optimizing resources and leveraging open-source tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are concerns regarding data privacy and potential censorship; DeepSeek’s models may adhere to Chinese regulations on sensitive topics. Because of these concerns, ChatGPT could maintain an edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeepSeek Stock Alternatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No, you can\u2019t buy DeepSeek stock. There\u2019s no DeepSeek stock symbol. So how to invest? Invest in the types of companies that could benefit from DeepSink\u2019s ascent:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies Related to AI Infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, as we noted in a recent article<\/a>, data center company Vertiv Holdings Co. (<\/strong>VRT<\/strong><\/a>)<\/strong> could be in a great position to benefit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infrastructure is right up the company\u2019s alley. Vertiv does everything from installation, maintenance, and repair. In other words, the entire lifecycle, to monitoring and management for data centers. The business also provides power management and, most importantly, cooling solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and there\u2019s this: A $500 billion project aimed at AI infrastructure will require an immense number of data centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vertiv stock also happens to have a Zen Rating<\/a> of A or Strong Buy. It belongs to a class of stocks that have, historically, overperformed the market since 2000, and provide an average annual return of 32.52%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies that Benefit From AI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investors are starting to realize the next<\/em> big AI play isn\u2019t just in the hardware. It\u2019s in the companies actually using AI to transform business. And Salesforce (NYSE: CRM<\/a>)<\/strong> is leading that charge \u2026 Here are a few reasons why it has a Zen Rating of B, or Buy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recurring Revenue & Strong Fundamentals<\/strong> \u2013 Unlike speculative AI stocks, Salesforce has a solid foundation. It\u2019s a cash-generating machine with a massive installed customer base and a wide economic moat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can see this in CRM\u2019s earnings and earnings growth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
