OpenAI has officially filed confidential paperwork to go public. As Wall Street prepares for this mega-debut, investors are already buying up the semiconductor companies that supply the hardware for AI.

## Idea

OpenAI's upcoming IPO validates the massive spending in artificial intelligence. Before the company even hits the public markets, investors are front-running the news by buying the 'picks and shovels' of the AI boom—the chipmakers. Because these companies have real, massive earnings already, they offer a safer way to bet on the AI hype than the unproven IPO itself.
