The Surprising Way to Play a Historic AI Merger

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (NYSE: HPE) stunned Wall Street on May 17 with important merger news.

That's when the company announced it was joining forces with another historic computing firm.

See, HPE is a spin-off of the storied Hewlett Packard, one of Silicon Valley's early computing pioneers. It said last Friday it is buying supercomputing legend Cray for about $1.4 billion.

Here's the thing. HPE is making the move because it wants greater access to a lucrative tech platform we've been talking about for some time now – artificial intelligence (AI).

The timing is great. IDC says worldwide spending on AI systems will jump 44% this year to $35.8 billion.

And this ranks as a twofer. Cray remains a supercomputing powerhouse. It has won a string of government contracts over the years, which will give HPE a stable sales base.

Cray just scored a $600 million Department of Energy contract to build what is expected to be the world's fastest supercomputer.

Let's not forget that supercomputers play a critical role in AI, which requires massive processing power.

And today, I'm going to tell you of a hidden way to play this exciting AI merger.

These Four Stocks Are the Most Dangerous Dogs on Wall Street

Call it the "millennial market."

No, I'm not talking about how twenty- and thirtysomethings are affecting the market.
