Smart home stocks are worthy companies for you to consider. I love investing in these companies because they are mostly undercovered brands in the financial media. While investors push up the valuations of marquee brands, these smart home stocks are quietly improving their fundamentals and business outlook for the future, and many can be bought up at a steep discount.
Smart home stocks also leverage several catalysts that could propel their stock prices to new heights. AI, robotics, and networking trends help buoy their valuations and competitive moats.
So here are the best smart home stocks to buy for November.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), known primarily for its graphics processing units (GPUs), NVDA stock has significantly expanded into the home automation and AI sectors, making it a key player in its own right.
NVIDIA is expanding its role in home automation and the Internet of Things (IoT) through its AI technologies, like the NVIDIA Metropolis vision AI platform utilized by Industry.AI at Bengaluru Airport. Similar implementations are expected to be released for smart home environments, which furthers its position as an IoT leader.
NVDA’s share price has been on a hot run recently, setting a new all-time high of approximately $504.09, following a 20 percent surge in the last four weeks. This upswing comes amid heightened expectations from investors due to Nvidia’s significant role in the AI sector, with the company’s market valuation reaching $1.22 trillion and its stock rallying about 245 percent since January.
The positive movements may attract momentum and long-term alike, thus making it one of those smart home stocks to buy.
