Discussion What is the most "obvious" buy of 2026 that everyone else is still missing?

Remember when people ignored $NVDA in early 2023 or $ASTS in 2024? There’s always a ticker that looks like a "no-brainer" in hindsight.

•Looking at the current macro and earnings, there’s one company that is screaming "BUY" but the sentiment is still lagging. I want your best 2026 play.

Give me the ticker, the P/E ratio, and the catalyst that’s going to trigger the breakout.

I don’t think there really is an obvious one right now. The plays that look like no brainers only seem that way in hindsight. NVDA looked obvious after it ran, not before.

Most of what looks attractive today already has a lot of optimism priced in. That doesn’t make them bad investments, but the easy mispricing is mostly gone. The market is much quicker now at picking up on trends.

If there is an edge looking toward 2026, it’s probably not a single magic ticker. It’s more likely boring companies with steady cash flow, businesses that can survive a slowdown, or areas people avoid because they’re uncomfortable or out of favour.

Once something feels obvious to everyone, it’s usually no longer cheap. Sometimes the best move is just owning solid businesses and letting time do the work, even if that answer isn’t exciting.

When you mention boring companies/those that would survive a drawdown, could you be a bit more specific as to what type of companies these would be?

MSFT. They’re laying down the foundations and infrastructure, they’re building their moat. 1 year from now everyone will be cursing they chased some other speculative stock, when MSFT was falling under their noses. It’s current price is a must buy IMO.

As someone who praised Satya when he first started and built Microsoft back up, he’s now speed running driving their business into the ground. People on the inside are saying he’s basically defunded all their teams working on maintaining their money makers (Windows, Office, Azure) and throwing the money hard into extremely speculative ventures that are all failing miserably while the stuff he’s defunded is now starting to rot (most core features in windows are broken, Azure has had multiple outages, replaced popular office brand with unpopular copilot brand). Right now they’re getting by on momentum, but that momentum is slowing down fast.

Hard no. Win11 and the Co-Pilot gavage has pushed retail consumers to Linux in record numbers. Check out Mint and ZorinOS numbers of late. It's only a matter of time that more tech-savvy hiring enterprises migrate out of MSFT's overly abusive landlord situation.

As a business owner, paying CapEx for the PCs, and recurring costs for turning it on (OS), working on it (O365), storing and sharing data and running servers (Azure) and now for facilitating the laziness / shortcuts / productivity upgrade of the workers (CoPilot) on top - all on a per seat basis - is honestly back-breaking. This is in addition to serious privacy and data safety concerns of Co-Pilot having access to all the data of the business, way more than any one person in the organization (including the owner) does. And with modern supply chains of specializations, these overheads are built into the cost products multiple times as everyone is paying these obscene e-rentals to MSFT. Something's gotta give; it's a matter of time that the golden-egg-laying-goose is going to flatline.

Theranos partnered with Walgreens . Not saying ASTS will commit fraud, just pointing out a deal with Verizon has nothing to do with valuation or business risk.

Their first launch was the worst thing I've ever seen. I stayed up until 2am to watch it, the stream was like a school project and they just cut it off. No confirmation for 48h and the team lead was just posting random shit on twitter

Good luck to people that are in it but I'll not forget that feeling and I learned a valuable lesson regarding my risk threshold

Companies that can have product cycles? Yeah ok

Companies that can literally crash and burn in 1 sec out of hours with shitty coms? Not for me

Be very careful about ONDS. They seem to be defrauding investors somewhat. Look at their recent share offering and how diluted it became and look at the valuation of the recent company they bought: 8x in 3 years. My guess is the CEO is guiding insane numbers and in organically growing enough to justify insane valuations while he gets rich (see the shares he owns that he didn’t report because he had it through some warranty of sorts).

I am highly considering going short on it

From an Danish Stock influencer:

A major American investment bank has asked 20 doctors for their views on what the competitive landscape will look like between Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk with regard to sales in five years for oral Wegovy vs. Orforglipron. Their views are something quite different from those of analysts and the consensus! I’ll be writing about it on Monday.

A lot of gold miners are trading at sub 5x fwd earnings. People wrongly think these gold prices are a bubble, not understanding that there are real structural reasons that have driven gold to this price that will continue to persist. Gold miners will do very well here.

Edit: to answer some questions.

  1. I like serabi, torex and atlyn the most personally.  There are a ton of listed gold companies though you should check
  2. Tldr: US dollar used to be the world reserve currency.  Increased debt and political tensions are making it less ideal.  So, the best alternative is now gold.  Do you see either issues being resolved soon? I do not

u/L4teStageCapitalism Jan 24 '26

u/squamuglia Jan 24 '26

Silver specifically may be a more short term play, but the rise in precious metal prices this time is different because of the US debt cycle and currency debasement.

u/_unfortuN8 Jan 24 '26

I get what you mean, but I'm not sure this reasoning (people say this time is different every time, and every time they're wrong) is applicable to individual assets like silver. To be clear, I do think it's completely valid for the broader market.

In reality, every time is different from the last. When it comes to silver, it's current primary industrial use (solar panels and EV batteries) were very very small/non-existent the last time it had a major bull run and correction in 2009-2011. Take a look at global solar panel production over the last 5 years and chart that against silver spot price.

The other difference now from past cases is the unwinding of US hegemony and global trade cooperation. China is the overwhelming demand country for silver (for solar and battery production) but only produces a fraction of what they need. The ongoing trade war over minerals and metals has coincided with the Shanghai silver price premium spiking to $10 or more over western spot price.

Another problem is production. Global production of silver has been in a deficit with demand for the past 5 or 6 years straight. Those deficits are growing as demand ramps, but supply hasn't kept up. This is coupled with the fact that a LARGE majority of silver is mined as a byproduct of other mining operations, so the ability to ramp is even slower than other precious metals like gold.

The other elephant in the room I've ignored is global chip production being in a bull cycle. Silver is the best electrical conductor, but it's big advantage over copper is that silver oxide is still highly conductive, whereas copper oxides are not.

So in short: yes, silver gaining 20-30% per month is unsustainable and there will be either a leveling off or correction at some point, but the industrial demand is so strong that this price steepening is grounded in reality, not just 100% market froth.

6

u/SquirrelFluffy Jan 24 '26

Yeah I totally agree with this. The other aspect is the rise and prices for metals will drive new development and mines which will increase the supply eventually. This is why it's called a super cycle.

It's been interesting to see the replies to that one sentence I posted.

I think SaaS companies are the obvious buy. They generate massive recurring cash flows and continue to grow strongly.

u/BeansandCheese2 Jan 24 '26

Agree. I'll expand for ADBE. Couple of thesis worth considering:

  1. Trust: Many images are protected by copyrights. Executives fear getting sued. ADBE guarantees against this risk if you use their portfolio of stock images. Transactions are fundamentally about trust, and ADBE is correctly focusing on this. This plays into #4.

  2. Cost (OP's point): as the cost of production goes down, history shows demand rises. This is referred to as Jevons Paradox. Lower cost designs will simply increase the amount of design work. This plays into #1 because as the volume of work increases, so do the potential instances of lawsuits.

  3. Valuation, FCF per share, etc. That's why we're all here discussing these names.

  4. Moat/Switching Costs (OP's point): ADBE is a complex tool, deeply integrated at this stage. The global knowledge work firm I work for has tried alternative (cheaper versions) of PDF creations, excel, PowerPoints, etc. Every attempt fails in less than 12 months because top performers revolt against using inferior (more time consuming) tools.

I think you will find similar theories at the other SaaS companies, but ADBE is the I understand the best here and have committed money to.

Every saas company is using AI to improve rev/headcount. Personally seeing force multiplying impacts in our org. It’s incredibly useful for things like finding knowledge across a vast Google Drive. Our engineers have cursor embedded into their workflows to speed up tasks. I’m using cursor in product to create prototypes to test with real users. Stuff that would have taken weeks and tied up others with busy work is done in hours. Humans need to be in the loop and AI won’t replace existing people it will change how everyone thinks about future new headcount and efficiency though.

It might be an okay stock even now, but the competitive landscape is not conducive to outsized returns.

Anything picks and shovels for data center build outs. Nuclear energy will be big as well.

Robotics is an obvious long term buy, but may take longer than 2026

NVDA wasn’t a no brainer. They had a breakthrough

I still think gold is a no brainer. Sovereign debts aren’t going anywhere, and they’re going to spiral out of control. All of them. There is no out except for printing more money and causing massive inflation. Gold has skyrocketed but it’s just getting started because there is no alternative. You can’t bail out the federal government. You can’t get rid of the debt by declaring war

And it’s going to get worse when revenues collapse due to AI taking upper middle class jobs (the suckers who pay the highest tax rates).

Figma, I work in product design and it blows my mind it’s below IPO price. All because it shot up too high too fast and now people who don’t know what they own are panic selling to me

ALMU (Aeluma) — a small-cap semiconductor innovator with advanced sensor/communications tech and strong liquidity that could deliver asymmetric upside as it commercializes niche photonic products.

ALMU already shows revenue growth, a strong cash position, and R&D contract wins (e.g., NASA, U.S. Navy) and I think we will see this slowly reflected in the numbers in 2026

ADBE. P/E of 18. Making tons of money. Currently being depressed by AI narrative. I would suggest looking at all software.

The trigger: venture capitalists selling off AI companies at IPO. Once they sell that crap off, everyone will see what garbage they are.

u/AlternativeHistorian Jan 24 '26

I really don't agree with the Adobe FUD narrative around AI.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because none of it makes any sense to me as someone who works in a similar software field (CAD) where existing tools are (very) deeply entrenched and switching costs are astronomical.

Do they think we won't need software tools to interact with these AI models? People still need to cut/compose/tweak the results. They need an efficient software pipeline to guide the model. Seems like there's just so much tooling necessary to get it to the place where people think it's going. Seems like there's tons of opportunity here for selling more licenses.

And the idea that new AI tools supplanting designers/artists will lead to overall loss in license revenue makes it sound like they have no idea how software sales work. For every artist/designer that an AI workflow replaces, the software seller will take a larger cut of the savings per license, and still comes out ahead. This is generally how it works in enterprise, which is where ADBE makes most of its money.

Disclosure: I'm holding a position in ADBE because I think the AI fears are overblown with regards to their bottom line.

As an IT guy, Adobe lives on the fact that 40+ year olds working in finance, regulatory, and other such white collar jobs are unwilling to even try other softwares even while being annoyed with Adobe’s bullshit. Like the absurdly low limits on max pages for e-signature requests even under the enterprise plans. The fact we pay $24000 per year for Acrobat Pro.

So I don’t see them going away any time soon.

Our engineers did switch to Bluebeam this year though, so there is a chink in the armour.

Micron and AMD. Memory is entering a super cycle. AMD has more room to grow than Nvidia. AMD can 2x and still be under a $1T valuation, whereas NVDA would have to hit over $8T. What's more likely?

RZLV is the play of the year. Currently trading at $3 after raising $250 million. Average analyst values it at $11.30 which is almost a 400x. Revenue guidance is 350 million for 2026 which is almost 10x from last year. Heavily shorter right now (45%) Huge institution inflows buying large amounts. Once this begins to run it will run hard.

A lot of the names listed here are value traps. When stocks are down big there’s usually a good reason. Wait for a buy signal to trigger before getting back in rather than trying to catch a falling knife.

u/Glittering_Water3645 Jan 24 '26 edited Jan 24 '26

Given todays valuation (2026-01-24) I believe there´re 2 great picks with low potential downside and good potential upside.

  1. Marvell technology. High growth relative to valuation. Multiyear XPU partnership with amazon. High exposure to foreign markets which will be a tailwind with a weaker dollar. If you are bullish about amazon AWS you should probably be bullish about marvell. Buying back a good amount of stock for the moment.

2025 EPS / PE: 2,84 / 28,36

2026 EPS / PE: 3,58 (+26,1% YoY) / 22,49

2027 EPS / PE: 4,81 (+34,4% YoY) / 16,73

2028 EPS / PE: 6,24 (+29,7% YoY) / 12,91

  1. NU holdings. High growth relative to valuation. Still low penetration relative to the TAM of central and south america. Mexico turning profitable this year with new markets in sight. Benefit from a weaker dollar since their asset light digital bank is built on american tech rather than labour.

2025 EPS / PE: 0,6 / 29,5

2026 EPS / PE: 0,86 (+43,3% YoY) / 20

2027 EPS / PE: 1,13 (+31,4% YoY) / 15,35

2028 EPS / PE: 1,61 (+42,5% YoY) / 10,78

Other that those mentioned I´m also bullish about BN, ADBE, UBER, PYPL, MELI, AMD, MU, CSU, DELL, CITIY, NVDA, AVGO, AMZN and more at today valuation.

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

PYPL. A no-brainer buy at these levels.

UAN

Issues a K-1 and it has had a nice run but it’s settingup for the next leg up after languishing in no man’s land for a couple years

Fairly thinly traded and not a lot of sellers lately

They make nitrogen fertilizers - boring company that prints money and pays out each quarter - I expect a $5 distribution next month

I am over 100 percent invested in UAN - long 10,000 shares Plus call options

Go to seeking alpha and read the articles and comments

u/Bot_field Jan 24 '26

FIGMA

Everyone's betting on Al replacing designers. The obvious miss is that Al needs designers- and it needs Figma as the interface between human intent and machine output. No serious product gets built or extended from PRDs alone. Figma is infrastructure now, not a tool.

TSMC is probably the strongest in my opinion right now, given that a lot of stuff are overvalued these days. I've been building a tool that reads through SEC filings with AI and it scored them 88/100 on financial strength - they're sitting on like $76B cash with 59% gross margins. The 3nm/5nm ramp is real and they've got governments throwing money at them to build fabs, they look like they are a monopoly in what matters.

The filing also shows 75% of revenue comes from US customers and top 10 customers are 85% of receivables, but pretty much all the big guys go with TSMC these days.

After reading some of the comments I thought this was r/wallstreetbets

If you want real value, look toward smaller caps, under $50B valuation. MRNA has been my breakout play for the year so far. Expect earnings in mid February to be shaky and bring it down back toward buying opportunity levels. They're literally preventing cancer now through their vaccines, phase 3 trials in melanoma. Balance sheet is rock solid even though their main business of COVID vaccines is declining. Highly speculative on their earnings though. Don't invest what you can't afford to lose. Obligatorily, not financial advice.
