Pure excitement! Take advantage of the current correction with UMT United Mobility Technology, Aixtron, and AMD!
Tech stocks are currently correcting. However, artificial intelligence (AI) is undeniably an unbroken trend. AMD CEO Lisa Su expects the AI market to be worth USD 1 trillion by 2030. It is absolutely healthy to let some of the air out of the sometimes ambitious valuations. Apart from the well-known names, there are many mid-caps, small-caps, and micro-caps whose potential is only slowly being recognized. We take a look across the industry.

UMT United Mobility Technology – AI for small and mid-sized enterprises
One company whose connection to AI is largely unknown on the capital market is Munich-based UMT United Mobility Technology. This may be due to its market capitalization of just under EUR 4 million, which means that the stock flies under the radar of the investor community. The fact is, UMT has reinvented itself with a clever, AI-based, highly scalable business model.
Today, the Munich-based company is active in AI-supported process automation. At the core of its offering is "UMS Vision AI," a modular platform that can be used without extensive training or education. The product allows many tasks that were previously performed manually by employees in a time-consuming manner to be completed more quickly and cost-effectively. This is a clear advantage given the often lamented shortage of employees or skilled workers. UMT's solution is essentially the new "AI colleague."
The self-developed tool is combined with modern large-model frameworks. This allows documents to be evaluated, processes to be automated, and decision-making bases to be prepared. One advantage is that the B2B business model pursued is designed as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) – this is positive from a strategic and revenue perspective. The application is strongly integrated into the workflows of customers. Time and cost savings - the added value provided to customers - are a fundamental part of the pricing policy – this is referred to as value pricing. Apart from a one-time fee at the beginning, the service is sold on a monthly subscription basis. Added value for customers and manageable monthly amounts are likely to form the basis for long-term customer loyalty.
According to company statements, UMT is growing particularly strongly in the logistics industry, where customs processes, order entry, and dispatching are labor-intensive. UMT estimates that its AI solution can save customers 400 to 1,500 working hours per year.
UMT plans to expand across Europe. The logistics industry is its first field of activity. In addition, UMT is tapping into security-critical sectors such as armaments and defense with on-premise solutions. To accelerate growth, the Company is planning strategic, forward-looking partnerships and investments. Revenues of around EUR 1.5 million are currently being generated. Based on the business model and strong demand, the Company's management expects strong growth, which could amount to EUR 70 million in revenue in just four or five years. These prospects are currently not reflected in the stock's valuation.
Aixtron – AI now priced in?
In recent weeks, the chip equipment manufacturer's stock has been boosted by positive analyst comments, causing the share price to rise to EUR 20. The experts' arguments for their "Buy" recommendations are similar. The Company has deliberately set the bar too low for 2026, but experts expect strong growth acceleration from 2027 onwards, driven by AI data centers.
Bank of America experts estimate the target price at EUR 25.10, which represents upside potential of around 50%. Even though growth potential from 2027 onwards is currently dominated by demand from AI data centers equipped with chips produced by Aixtron equipment, it should not be forgotten that demand also comes from sectors such as consumer goods and electric vehicles. There could be some disappointments here and there next year – good buying opportunities for those who have not yet invested.
AMD – One bombshell after another
At the beginning of October, the stock jumped more than 30% in a single day. This was triggered by the news that the US company had signed a deal with OpenAI for the supply of AMD chips over several years – representing tens of billions of USD in additional revenue per year. In addition, OpenAI has an option to acquire around 10% of the chip manufacturer in the future.
AMD recently followed up on this at its Financial Analyst Day in New York, astonishing the markets and analysts with its forecasts. AMD aims to grow by more than 35% per annum over the next few years. The Company views new products such as the MI450 GPUs, the upcoming MI500 series, and the Helios rack-scale system, which are expected to be in demand from hyperscalers, governments, and AI companies, as growth drivers.
AMD predicted that by 2028, 60% of its revenue will come from the data center segment, up from 40% today. The operating margin is expected to rise to over 35%. The Company calculated that this would soon result in earnings per share of over USD 20. The plans and the derived figures are ambitious but entirely plausible. If the forecasts are even halfway accurate, the stock has another rally ahead of it.
AI is here to stay. AMD is poised for further strong growth. Aixtron was temporarily kissed awake and hailed as an underrated AI player. UMT's stock has remained completely under the radar so far. An AI-driven, scalable business with recurring revenue is what stock market traders love. It is only a matter of time before the general public discovers its value. The potential offered by the business model and product is undeniable.
