I left the crystal ball at home, but I’m going to do my best Halloween impression and try to come up with three growth stock picks that could be poised for a major rally in the coming year.
The metal company recently received permission to continue exploration mining activities.
Nvidia trades at 24 times forward earnings. Management points to its next-generation Rubin chips as a growth driver.
Alphabet’s tensor processing units are being adopted by other AI companies outside of its own Gemini platform.
A recent study found that there’s one habit that can double Americans’ retirement savings and take retirement from a dream to a reality. Read more here.
I do think 2026 is going to be the year of a lot of innovation in a lot of different areas. From artificial intelligence to machine learning to the many other areas of economic growth that will be reshaped by innovative new technologies, there are many unique opportunities available to investors in this market. I think there are hundreds or thousands of these companies that could outpace the market’s growth over the next year.
That said, over the years I’ve pared down my watch list to a few companies that I watch intently. Within this group, I see three top opportunities that could surge in 2026 if conditions for the bull market rally to persist persist.
One of the more speculative small-cap stocks I’ve been banging on the table lately is metal company (NASDAQ:TMC). I won’t stop because nothing has changed for me about the company’s fundamental growth philosophy.
In fact, I think recent developments make this stock even more attractive for those with a truly long-term investment horizon. Having recently been awarded multiple licenses to continue exploratory mining activities, and with the potential to take an early mover position in the lucrative industry pending some additional approvals that need to be made, TMC is a company that is closer to a commercial mining operation than many might imagine.
The question is how to assess a company’s future cash flows, and that’s a tricky question. But I think the current positioning of metals companies offers significant upside potential as long as the commercialization story continues on its established trajectory. As revenue and earnings continue to grow from a very low base, I think this stock could eventually go parabolic, and 2026 could be the year the fireworks really take off.
In the world of large-cap tech stocks, I recommend NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA ) may actually have one of the most attractive forward P/E ratios among its peers.
Nvidia trades at just 24 times forward earnings, and its status as a leading growth stock may only be matched by value investors who follow the company and decide to buy the stock for their own portfolios. I wouldn’t say Nvidia is cheap here, but on a relative P/E to growth ratio, this is the cheapest the stock has been in years.
My recent article covering the bull case for Nvidia, specifically how the stock reached $300 per share, is worth a read. But the gist of this article is really that the company’s next-generation Rubin chips could be the key to massive growth in the new year.
We’ll have to see how AI companies adopt new chip technology and whether competitors can chip away at Nvidia’s market share. This is of course risky.
But as far as stocks with huge upside potential in 2026, I think most investors would be remiss not to take a look at Nvidia.
If there was a Magnificent 7 stock trading at a more attractive valuation multiple than Nvidia, we’d probably be talking about letter (Nasdaq: Google).
Shares of the search giant have been absolutely surging lately due to a variety of bullish factors.
The company’s tensor processing units are used in Alphabet’s core Gemini LLM platform (but are also increasingly used by other players in the artificial intelligence race), giving Alphabet the latest cash flow growth catalyst that investors are trying to price in. It’s already a company with dominant market share in search, and its media business (mainly YouTube) is seeing revenue and profits soar quarter after quarter.
But Alphabet’s potential to not only become a household name offering some of the highest quality generative AI applications on the market, but also to become a competitor to Nvidia in this lucrative space has many investors (including Warren Buffett) jumping on board. In my book, there is no greater honor given to any company.
Most Americans vastly underestimate how far they will need to retire and overestimate how ready they are. But data shows that people who have a habit will have more than double Savings for those who don’t.
No, it has nothing to do with increasing your income, saving, cutting coupons, or even reducing your lifestyle. It’s simpler (and more powerful) than any of them. Frankly, it’s shocking that more and more people aren’t adopting this habit, considering how easy it is.
