Historically, September has been a bad month for the stock market. It has the most down months of any month for the S&P 500(SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), and is one of the few months of the year to average a negative return over the long term. Still, I think there are plenty of reasons to invest right now, and several stocks look like they’re offering investors prime buying opportunities.
Three at the top of my shopping list for September are Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), and Micron (NASDAQ: MU), and I think investors would be smart to buy them as soon as possible.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a “Double Down” signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same “Total Conviction” signal is flashing for a <a href="https://myappsplus.com/larry-pages-flying-car-company-pivotal-loses-its-ceo/” title=”Larry Page's flying car company Pivotal loses its CEO”>company 1/100th the size of Nvidia.

Nvidia
Nvidia is still one of the top AI stocks to buy, and it showed that last week by reporting incredible earnings for the second quarter of its fiscal 2027 (which ends in January 2027). It blew away all expectations and grew revenue at a 106% year-over-year pace. Nvidia is the world’s largest company, making it hard to fathom how it could keep doubling its revenue year over year, but that’s exactly what it’s doing.
Investors are worried about what future demand for its GPUs will look like, but Nvidia’s management team calmed these fears. CFO Colette Kress noted on the conference call that management expects 70% revenue growth for fiscal 2028, which is well above what Wall Street analysts projected.
That kind of growth rate is simply incredible, and few companies can match it. As a result, I think Nvidia is well worth buying now, as the market hasn’t really done a lot with that new information.
Micron
Micron is another company cashing in on the AI build-out. It manufactures memory chips, which are currently in short supply due to demand far exceeding the combined production capacity of all memory-chip makers. This has caused prices to skyrocket, benefiting Micron and its peers.
Micron hasn’t sat idle and let this supply-demand imbalance fuel its profits. Instead, it’s working on building new production facilities that will come online sometime in 2027 and 2028. However, Micron also believes that the tightness in the memory chip market won’t be alleviated before 2028, leaving plenty of time for investors to profit from its shares.
Micron’s stock is very cheap right now — it trades for a mere 6 times fiscal year 2027 earnings — because the market doesn’t know what its future holds. However, once elevated prices and demand in excess of supply are confirmed for a longer period, the stock could start soaring. Based on its current bargain price tag, Micron’s a stock well worth buying right now.
