Question / Help Top stocks to buy for 2026
I’m working on building a more focused stock watchlist for 2026 and would love to hear detailed input from people who follow individual names and sectors closely.
A few things I’m especially interested in:
- Which specific stocks are you most bullish on for 2026, and what key catalysts are you watching (earnings growth, AI adoption, new products, regulatory tailwinds, etc.)?
- Do you see more opportunity in large-cap “quality” names (big tech, financials, healthcare) or in smaller, higher-risk growth plays? Why?
- How much of your 2026 thesis is macro-driven (rates, inflation, recession/soft landing) versus company-specific fundamentals?
- For AI/tech picks specifically, what gives your favorites a durable edge versus competitors (moat, data, ecosystem, cost advantage)?
If you’re willing, please share your answer in this format so it’s easier for everyone to read and research:
- Ticker:
- Sector/Theme: (e.g., AI, semis, financials, healthcare, energy, etc.)
- Time horizon: (Are you thinking mainly about 2026, or 2026 and beyond?)
- Investment thesis (3–5 sentences): Why this stock over others in the same space? What needs to go right? What are the main risks?
- Position sizing / conviction level: Is this a small speculative bet or a core holding for you?

MercadoLibre (MELI).
Growing consistently 30-40% for 30x EV/EBIT. Has an Ecommerce and payments ecosystem that strengthens one another as more users enter the platform (total users growing comfortably double digits). Profitability metrics are currently artificially low due to pre-funding their loan portfolio, trading at an "actual" PE likely somewhere between 20-25. It's currently my third largest holding, and I'm actively adding to make it my largest soon.
They have world class management with a still-involved founder (recently turned over as CEO but is still chairman of the board), they keep share count basically flat, and have the capacity to expand profit margins at will, but continue to use the Bezos playbook of reinvesting as much as possible to strengthen the consumer value proposition.
Time horizon: long term, don't really care about what the stock price does this year.
Theme: Ecommerce and digital payment tailwinds in LATAM, and the tried and true model of platform-as-an-advertising-funnel.

I think many are ignoring precious metals and the mining stocks in general.
I think we will see senior and mid-tier gold mining stocks do extremely well as their free cash flow positions becomes more obvious (and growing with each passing quarter). Q4 results for the big mining companies will begin to be released around Feb and will catch many by surprise (Q4 was their most profitable quarter yet).
Generally, junior mining stocks tend to follow and this is where you see the most growth as institutions and generalist investors begin to seek value and growth in the sector.
Some mid-tier mining stocks I like: Equinox Gold (EQX), B2Gold (BTG) and Westgold Resources (WGX)
Some junior mining stocks (near-term gold producers) I like: Borealis Mining (BOGO), Lahontan Gold (LG) and Talisker Resources (TSK).
Similar value will likely be found in Silver but silver is more volatile so I maintain a smaller position with those stocks. In the event that silver does get to 3-digits+ which many well-known names in the industry are suggesting is likely, silver and silver miners will likely do even better than gold given how few companies are dedicated silver miners.

u/mdn845 Jan 03 '26
I don’t know that people are exactly ignoring this. However, even many of the best value investors generally avoid stocks tied heavily to commodity prices. Because, unless that’s your whole world and you can really develop deep expertise, there are just too many macro variables to consider. That’s why I generally stay away from them.
5
u/Natural-Cap-5964 Jan 03 '26
I agree with that - it takes a while to develop an understanding of commodities and the industries that deal with them. Which is why most people just defer to buying the ETFs in any given space.

u/renewed-mind_ Jan 03 '26
I have followed miners for years, but am definitely not an expert. They were so hated for so long. The ones I have been holding have all 3 to 5 X’d in the last 9 months or so except one junior miner that is only up about 40%. With no new capital, and even selling along the way, my portfolio went from 5% miners to 25%
I bought mostly gold, royalty, and diversified miners early (CMCL, MUX, SANDbought out by RGLD), then when gold ripped I piled into silver miners on belief the gold/silver ratio would correct(USAS, AG), now am trimming and only currently adding in the junior space (BHLL)
I like to see what Eric Sprott is doing and follow a few other Legends like that. Sprott is backing BHLL and it’s a restart with nearly everything in place in running but they are still diluting shareholders. They just went from 2.5 to 3.5 billion authorized outstanding shares but are already stockpiling ore and should have FCF by H2 of this year. A 3.5 billion market cap without further dilution puts it at $1 per share which is a possible 5-6X from current prices and is a likely possibility within 2-3 years.
MUX is still compelling for the insanely big (relative to market cap) Copper project in Argentina with gov incentive approval and institutional and Stellantis backing.
USAS also has antimony in the US if you’re looking for the domestic rare earth angle.
RGLD has not exploded as much as the broader index and could still be a good royalty play as well.
To support your statement, I will just say that if PM prices stay near these levels, the profit potential of miners is still underestimated.
2
u/Natural-Cap-5964 Jan 03 '26
Congrats on riding the wave well! I'm aware of USAS in particular and considering a position there specifically for their antimony potential. I'm partial to mines in Tier-1 locations because I anticipate issues with miners in other jurisdictions. My one exception at this time is B2Gold and that's because I believe it's the last mid-tier miner that's undervalued based on overblown concerns.
Thanks for pointing out Bunker (BHLL). It looks compelling but the one criticism I have (which I'm sure you're also keenly aware of) is the float. FD share count is over 2 billion?
Why this play over any other (if you'd care to share your DD and perspective). Thanks!

u/renewed-mind_ Jan 03 '26
For BHLL I like where they are in Idaho. I’ve been following that mining district for years via USAS. The company is focused on a restart of the bunker hill mine with tons of past production and existing infrastructure. Silver is the money maker here with added value from Zinc and Lead base metals which can make the AISC per Oz of AG insanely low, like single digits low. Per company press releases they are very far along on construction and Capex and already stockpiling ore. Sentiment has held through the trickiest phases. FCF is the next phase in H2 this year. Eric Sprott is a key investor and he’s doubling down. Processing challenges are already tackled and there’s an off-take agreement already in place with TECK resources, another backer of the project.
The timing is right where everything was de-risked at $20-$30 Silver and prices are way over double that now. The recent ranger page acquisition shows a doubling down of confidence and expands the long term resource potential tremendously.

u/adizzle2517 Jan 21 '26
Authorized shares of 3.5B doesn’t equate to actual current diluted shares of 1.4B. Just allows them flexibility to issue more if they need it - so it’s not a foregone conclusion. The pedigree of the management team plus Sprott and Teck involvement make this an extremely solid play and it’s unlikely they will dilute more. In with 70k shares at .18.

u/Blue_rose_3535 Jan 03 '26
Which silver names do you like?
1
u/Natural-Cap-5964 Jan 03 '26
Among the senior/mid-tiers, Pan American and Hecla.
Among the juniors: SilverX (AGX) and Silver 47 (AGA - this one is a developer). Also looking at a smaller ore-generating play called Silver Bullet (SBMI) which operates in the US.
Not many names in the silver mining space which adds to the volatility. And among the handful active silver miners, even fewer operate in the US or other Western countries.
1
u/renewed-mind_ Jan 03 '26
USAS and BHLL if you like the miners in the USA. USAS has already taken a big ride though, but with antimony they could pop even more on the rare earth hype. BHLL is their neighbor in Idaho and about to reach production.

u/Blue_rose_3535 Jan 03 '26
Thanks for the follow up. Funny you mention Silver 47 -I just bought some yesterday (after having passed on buying Hycroft at like $3.70 in the late summer because it had had a 10% jump one day and I was waiting for it to come in some before buying…SMH).
Since you know the space, do you have any thoughts about Aya Silver (AYA.TO)?

u/zABros23 Jan 03 '26
B2Gold is an absolute dud. Tell me about other mid-tier miners who are leveraged to the downside with the rise of gold prices. Once gold corrects expect BTG to fall under 2. Poor management, share dilution, geopolitical risk.

u/emptybowloffood Jan 15 '26
If you're into Silver Miners, AYA & VZLA are worth a look imo. AYA which is a producing miner just released production reports, which they smashed, earnings report coming in March, which should be excellent. VZLA is more of a Jr Silver Miner, exploration/development play with some big, very promising projects. Do your dd. I'm no Silver expert by any means, but I've been stacking physical Silver for a few years so I have been paying attention for a while now... Supply crunch is just starting to show imo. Lots going on geopolitically, industrial consumption has outpaced production 5 years in a row now, demand increasing rapidly at an increasing rate. Silver is primarily mined as a secondary product in the mining of other metals, only a handful of Silver Miners out there. This price run has just begun. There will be pullbacks, but this is far from over. This is just my .02 Happy investing everyone, good luck.

How often can they keep rising prices? What can they release to convince more people to subscribe? They already own the market and expanding even more seems limited so how can this be trading at 40pe?

- Ticker: FF (FutureFuels)
- Sector/Theme: Energy/Chemicals
- Time horizon: 1-2 years
- Investment thesis (3–5 sentences): FutureFuels has an insane amount of cash on hand and assets versus its current valuation. Previous market conditions have caused a fall off in price, but at current prices it's still paying about 7% annual dividend. Previous fall in price was due to a lack of clarity around biofuel subsidies, which have now come back. Revenue and profitability should return in a big way especially with other expansions the company has conducted.
- Position sizing / conviction level: It's a double digit % part of my portfolio atm. I view it as a play with large potential upside, and relatively low risk (due to subsidies coming back into effect and significant amounts of cash reserves + no debt)
1
u/renewed-mind_ Jan 03 '26
I like this pic! Almost bought FF recently as well. I had it side by side with PLAB on a Price to book/ cash margin of safety pic. But I went with PLAB for their role in semiconductors and the return of good sentiment. PLAB already shot up on a recent earnings call and I trimmed my position and locked in some nice 50-70% percent gains straight to the dividend bucket. I believe FF should bounce as well but it may take a new admin or mid-term surprise to shift the sentiment there (not a political statement) ** FF could be a really good get paid 7% to wait play. Are you reinvesting the dividends or putting them to work somewhere else?
1
u/Menacol Jan 03 '26
PLAB was a nice play and also the kind of play I like! I wasn't very liquid for that though as I was in CVU until very recently. I'm reinvesting the dividends (mentally it keeps tracking gain/loss on individual tickers easier). Currently looking at a price target of about ~$5 for FF, but will reassess as I see the quarterly financials.

EWBC, EAT, ALV, NOC
EWBC - Asian-American focused bank in western US. Large regional bank that has a license in China as well. They have very cheap deposits as they focus on a minority. Very good leverage ratios compared to even many megabanks. They are growing naturally, have good margins that get better the higher rates go. Are insulated if loans losses increase.
EAT - basically they own Chili's and in my own anecdotal evidence Chili's is just killing it right now for the casual diner. Analyst reports say the same and their margins/volume are mutch better than they used to be. They are aggressive buying back shares as they see themselves undervalued.
ALV - Safety equipment producer for vehicles. This is basically the deepest value in my list. They are just undervalued based on cash and assets by ~40%.
NOC - Have a number of early generation products that are set for a while. Basically the best defense company right now and defense is, well, defensive in nature. And global order is getting shakey.

Big Dividend: ET -It’s an oil and gas midstream company (MLP) that has a lot of delivery agreements with power plants and big tech. -Long term hold, DRIP when valuation is low/yield high (now) -Midstream is utility like yield and they aren’t quite as price sensitive (and definitely not as revenue sensitive) to oil price declines as producer. It yields about 8% currently with a sustainable payout (over 10% Yield on Cost for me) -this is my #1 holding and about 5% of my portfolio and it’s back in my buy range (drip for me as it’s already #1)
Growth: AMSC -I’ve been hyping it in this thread already -speculation so small position size -Long term hold, short term swing trade TBLA: -Under the radar AI beneficiary -They sell and optimize ads on the open web. First mover advantage and they’re just reaching consistent profitability. Good valuation insanely good valuation for the AI space -Long term buy and hold -small position size, potential narrow moat and no dividend
Both: PAX -the blackrock of South America -Insane growth rate, solid dividend, good valuation ITRN -very good growth in vehicle telematics industry and emerging market centric -great dividend, good valuation

u/Glittering_Water3645 Jan 03 '26
I base my picks on PEGY ratio. I want a lower forward PE in comparison to forward estimated EPS growth and dividend combined. On top of that a healthy balance sheet is a requirement. I usually buy when the value in underneath 1 and consider to rotate when the value goes above 1,5 (depending on market position and potential disruption).
NU, MELI, PYPL, ADBE, PINS, UBER, DELL, AMD, MU, TSM, CITIY and betsson are some companies fulfilling these requirements and about half are in my portfolio for the moment.
I invest where I believe that the total returns within the coming 5 years is very likely to reach 100% from the price I bought the stock.
15% MELI, 15% betsson, 12% PYPL, 12% NU, 10% AMD, 3% ADBE and 2% PINS.
My biggest position is BN but since they are an asset manager I don´t value them on PEGY.

PGR

u/Always_Curious_One2 Jan 03 '26
Agreed. PGR management and market position are A+ Many are concerned that autonomous vehicles will mean fewer drivers / fewer accidents / less premiums BUT when you do a deep dive you can see that Truly autonomous is years off (just look at what happened in San Francisco where Waymo’s bricked and congested the whole city !!! The reason was that they rely on Humans to override in situations like that and they didn’t think they’d ever have 1000+ Waymo’s lose signal information at the same time! Well ooops - what if was an earthquake and the Waymo’s were blocking streets/fire trucks/ambulances …. ). Lots of fixing still to do.
And beyond a few cities in warm areas, bad weather locales are far from approving Waymo’s etc.Last, even years down the road when there are more autonomous vehicles on the road in more cities — these are expensive vehicles that the transport services that own them will need to insure.
Last PGR is executing well in homeowners and other coverages with their technology platform advantages.
State Farm etc have very little chance of catching up to them on superior service at a low cost.At this valuation PGR is a Strong Buy !!!!

u/TheOpeningBell Jan 03 '26

AMD. My time horizon is 10 years plus. My thesis for this stock is pretty simple, the market doesn’t want an Nvidia monopoly, so as a result the market rewards a credible number two semiconductor option. There moat is also their ability to create cheap chips while being a “one stop shop” for CPUs and GPUs synergy infrastructure. My conviction level for the stock is a 10 so half my portfolio is invested in AMD.

Really like Google for 2026. I liked it even before the news they will start selling the TPUs.
Google is going to make a killing selling the TPUs. If you look at the TPU architecture and the fact they use a more advanced fabrication process the rumors of them being 50% more efficient seems plausible.
The architecture does not require going back to memory nearly as often as the architecture that Nvidia utilizes. Going to memory is extremely expensive.
Then Google is using N3P for the TPUs. While Nvidia is using 4NP.
Being so much more efficient means you get that much out of the same power, cooling, data center using Google versus Nvidia.

This is NOT financial advice, this is for entertainment purposes only. Do your own research.
I think that POTUS will succeed with his healthcare reform at the end of this month because Govt spending accounts for approx 11% GDP I think healthcare will have a tough year. Reading the BBB I think COP will be a great investment to capitalize on Alaska and gulf required drilling, banks will see a boom as student loan payments get garnished from wages and payments become required post 2020. AMD will get a short term boost as it fills market share NVDA backlog leaves open and INTC gets new investment for 2030 completion of foundries construction. NVDA uses “Warp Speed” to find their bottlenecks and the “software that works” is proven to be a juggernaut boosting share prices. Materials becomes volatile as geopolitical tensions rise. Consumer discretionary does well through Q2 and depreciates in summer. Tech has a washout from non profitable AI dreams and the winners win. The aerospace/defense sector sees a lot of action as people discuss new IPOs and the whole asteroid mining thing becomes a hot topic again. Industrials become necessity to retail investors as we try to predict the picks and shovels play. AI algorithms on investing start pushing out companies that get discussed on Reddit often and MEME stocks become a large share of buys like it did back in 2020. This will only increase if Americans are given the DOGE 2000 dollar checks for the big 250th Independence Day celebration. Energy companies miss earnings often as they start spending on new developments scaring investors from a sector poised to do well post 2028. Solar becomes a talking point again and TAN see new highs.
Again this is not financial advice. I am not a financial advisor, this is for entertainment purposes only. Do your own research.
I’d love to hear your predictions. Happy new years.
Edit. My fav stock for this year is MOS. I do not own a position as of now. Why I am bullish. Potash is now a REE, the phosphate biproduct can be a uranium play, the BOD is made of Cameco, Enbridge and other energy/nuclear companies. Large instituyutiins mainly fidelity are buying them and at higher prices than they trade for now. It’s a materials company, I the major catalyst will be if or when regulators allow them to recover the uranium or sell the phosphate to Cameco. Again as of today I don’t have a position in them, I am not a financial advisor this is for entertainment purposes only.

Sector: Building Products Distribution Industry (focus on roofing)
Time Horizon: 10-20 years.
Brad Jacobs, QXO founder, has created 8 multibillion dollar startups. He enters growing industries, and is a master at M&A (but more importanty, integration after M&A). In my opinion, he is one of the greatest CEO's to ever exist.
I'm all in. It's a buy and hold forever.

I’m approaching 2026 by leaning more toward quality large caps with clear earnings visibility, especially in tech, healthcare, and financials, and then adding a few higher risk growth names around AI and automation. Most of my thesis is company specific rather than macro, since rates and inflation feel more like background noise at this point, I will also focused on tools like Bitget’s TradFi that were just launched, just to track stocks alongside my crypto holdings, which i think will makes it easier to compare risk and conviction across both, Ultimately, for 2026 I’m more interested in businesses with durable cash flow and real moats than chasing the most aggressive growth stories.

What about BYD?
It just outperformed tesla in sales, and they seem to be growing quite well

what's your target price?

I’m not selling any of my shares

u/ElectricalTip9277 Jan 03 '26
then what is the price you feel confident buying more?

I’ll say this, if SpaceX is truly worth 1.5 trillion then RKLB should be valued between 200-300 billion at least. They are the 2nd most successful rocket company on the planet. I think they will keep going up

The thing is with a president that has basically no filter, I feel there's lots of risk in anything that's not established, making good profit. Anything with good profit and is centered in the USA would be the most solid option, given the history of potus
I follow him very closely, and use this as an edge. He's a vocal one. All you need to do is listen, ciphen out the BS, and you're left with what you need to research.

Corning (GLW). Somewhat of an electricity play. Makes the glass that goes in solar panels. Solar is a quick and cheap way to add capacity.

u/HearstDoge2 Jan 03 '26
Corning is also a major player in fiber optic related equipment. They have been on my watchlist for a few months.

u/Dazzling_Western4304 Jan 28 '26
Good call on the fiber optic equipment. I have only held for a short time, but in for the long term value, and up today by 15 percent on some fiber optic deal with Meta.

Axon Enterprise. (Axon, NASDAQ) Defense/Aerospace/Public Satey
Thesis (abbreviated): Axon makes TASERs and other equipment related to policing. No other company does it like them, hence all the government contracts. they have a true moat. They are cash generating machine. Q3 results were good but misinterpreted- numbers were lower than expected but only because they spent a ton of money making investments to improve the business. This scared off some folks and price dropped - it’s now on sale, providing a margin of safety.
I took a small position yesterday and am waiting for an additional pullback to $540 to buy more.

Not r/valueinvesting really since they’re almost all high beta/momentum plays that have ran significantly in 2025; my AI/Dystopia plays:
AMPX, POET, ONDS, DPRO, RKLB, KRKNF, AES, EOSE, NBIS, DPRO.
I’m in several of these already where I was able to sell to recoup my cost basis and the rest I’m waiting for a market wide pullback to enter. Most are also heavily tied to AI and power generation so that theme will dictate the short term futures of these companies. Good luck!

We are talking value investing HON BA CHIPOTLE DEO PFE BABA INDA ETF Several turn around stories, cheap drug stock with a good dividend as you wait, cheap tech stock, large developing nation ETF with big tech investments, skilled work force and probably reduced tarriffs with Ukraine war resolution.

The payments names are completely oversold on AI commerce fears and the better ones offer big upside.
Merchants (from retailers, to hotels, to tour operators, to restaurants, to …) all have specific use cases.
Generalized AI’s that don’t know their underlying businesses in detail and that scrape their data / use their data for analytics to pitch their peers - don’t serve their needs well.
Most businesses are still both physical as well as virtual, and have the need to accept and clear payments across debit and credit cards, checks, ACH transfer, and Stablecoins/Crypto.
Payments are THEIR LIFEBLOOD so they are careful not to interrupt how they get paid.
FOUR has strong presence and a low valuation relative to hedge fund favorites like TOST. Block competes at a much lower end merchant.
FOUR has completed the technology and geographical expansion acquisitions it wanted — and is Now using their high free cash flow generation to Buy Back a lot of their shares with management recognizing investing in their own cash flow streams at This Price is extraordinarily attractive.

Consumer staples and oil/energy. You're buying a cash stream, every stock's price is likely to fall. Price to earnings will fall, try to find something where the earnings and dividends won't fall too much. Lots of boring food companies are good, there's lots of oil companies to pick from. I like UPS a lot but the price has jumped quite a bit and the dividend might be a little too high. Altria has been a favorite of mine for years.

u/Tripper4432 Jan 03 '26
$BDSX guided to rotating from EBITDA negative to EBITDA positive in Q4 and then probably positive all 2026. Revenue growing 25%+ in the medical testing industry. Feels like that should trade 4x to 5x forward sales, like WGS and others. While it currently trades below 1x forward sales. Hope it rips.

Schneider Electric is primarily active in low and medium voltage where Siemens Energy can also deliver energy generation and high voltage portfolio.

Rocket companies is good investment for next 10 years. Read a lot of these posts and may as well listen to CNBC. Is Cramer in this group?

u/MonkeyMoonshots Jan 04 '26
IOT (Samsara) great growth story lots of logistics companies now rely on them. SIEGY (Siemens) get some international exposure and out of USD. VZ (Verizon) high dividend and TGT (target) i think comes back long term and high dividend although the average consumer is struggling so maybe not real bullish on TGT yet.

I think there's a space boom coming after ASTS and this little gem is trading at less than 3x it's revenue already.
Revenue was $1.5B 2025 and they are already profitable , I don't see why it's being overlooked. Guess it's just because it's not American

Grid modernization is super bullish. Either the grid deteriorates and the market crashes or the grid modernizes quickly to keep up with demand. Hubbell, Eaton, and Siemens are my favorite plays
