We recently published 10 Stocks Boasting the Biggest Gains; 4 Hit Record Highs. Warby Parker Inc. (NYSE:WRBY) is one of the best performers on Wednesday.

Warby Parker soared to nearly hit a four-month high on Wednesday after four straight days of gains, as investors continued to load up portfolios ahead of the official launch of AI glasses in partnership with Google.

In a regulatory filing earlier this week, Warby Parker Inc. (NYSE:WRBY) confirmed that the AI glasses—the first line of intelligent eyewear, which will incorporate multimodal AI with prescription and non-prescription lenses—are officially launching in 2026.

Warby Parker Inc. (NYSE:WRBY) and Google announced the AI glasses partnership in May this year, under which the former would design and develop the product to be integrated with Google’s technology system.

Google also committed to shell out $75 million for product development, alongside an optional $75 million investment in the eyewear-maker, subject to the achievement of certain milestones.

“Since our launch, we’ve set out to transform the optical industry by leveraging pioneering technology to design better products and experiences—and over the past 15 years, we’ve done just that,” said Warby Parker Inc. (NYSE:WRBY) co-Founder and co-CEO Dave Gilboa.

“Looking ahead, we believe multimodal AI is perfectly suited for glasses, enabling real-time context and intelligence to augment a wearer’s surroundings as they move through the world. We couldn’t be more excited to be partnering with Google to bring together the best of AI and the best of eyewear,” he added.

While we acknowledge the potential of WRBY as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
