    If I could only hold ONE of these stocks through 2026, I’d pick AMD $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ . Among all ten names, AMD sits closest to the core of the AI infrastructure value chain, where long-term capex visibility, strategic importance, and scalable growth intersect most clearly.

    AMD is no longer just a CPU/GPU challenger. The OpenAI partnership is strong ecosystem validation, and its MI300/MI400 roadmap positions it as the only real alternative to NVIDIA $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ in AI accelerators and servers. As hyperscalers and sovereign AI projects diversify suppliers, AMD benefits from structural demand rather than a short cycle.

    Most importantly, AMD offers balance: broad AI exposure, improving margins, and a valuation that still doesn’t fully reflect multi-year AI infrastructure buildout. Compared with more niche or cyclical names on the list, AMD provides a cleaner, more durable compounding story through 2026.

  • If I could only hold ONE of these stocks through 2026, I'd pick Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) because of its foundational role in the AI infrastructure buildout. As the world's largest chip foundry, TSM is the primary manufacturer for high-end computing chips used by major tech companies like Nvidia and AMD. The massive, multi-year capital expenditure (capex) commitments by hyperscalers (projected to be around $500 billion in 2026) ensures continued high demand for its manufacturing services. This makes it a neutral investment in the AI trend, benefiting regardless of which specific company designs the best chips.

    I would pick Micron because Micron is a core supplier for NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 Blackwell GPUs, providing high-bandwidth memory.

    To meet AI demand, Micron is constructing a new advanced packaging facility in Singapore, set to launch in 2026.

    they are expanding so it's worth monitoring this stock [Serious] [Serious] [Serious]

    🌟🌟🌟If I only could pick 1 stock among the 10 Top Picks by Seeking Alpha, it would be $Barrick Mining Corporation(B)$ .  Barrick isn't just a stock.  It is ultimate safe haven stock with an engine of growth.

    Gold has been hitting new highs  due to an unprecedented rally driven by central banks buying , trade tensions & geopolitical tensions.

    Barrick operates 6 of the world's most valuable gold mines.  This includes the massive Nevada complex which is the largest gold producing mine in the US.

    Barrick has a rock solid balance sheet with over USD 5 billion in cash & minimal net debt.  They have been rewarding patient investors with a strong sustainable dividend policy & aggressive buybacks.  In 2024 alone Barrick has returned USD 1.2 billion to shareholders.

    Despite its strength, Barrick trades at a discount to its peers, with analysts seeing potential for a stock rerating.

    That is why Barrick is my Top Pick for 2026.

    If I could only hold one of these stocks through 2026, i’d pick MU because it has the highest EPS. AI and demand for data centres will continue to be one of the top trends for 2026. Memory and storage is set to also be in demand. It’s just that the realisation came a little later than chips. Chips has rallied for most of 2025 and it is clear that shortage of memory might continue well into 2027 as forecast by many analysts. This demand will drive up the price of MU just like how it had happened for Nvidia.


    Valuation of MU is also lower compared to the chip makers. So, I feel that for 2026, it offers growth potential at a fair value price which means that there is sufficient safety margin for stock price growth and profit for me. @Wayneqq @LuckyPiggie @HelenJanet @SR050321 @SPOT_ON @Kaixiang @Fenger1188 @Universe宇宙 @DiAngel @Success88 come join

    Seeking Alpha released its top 10 stock picks for 2026, spanning AI, semiconductors, networking, insurance, biotech, and resources

    Micron Technology (MU), the HBM leader and a major beneficiary of strong NAND demand, sits at the intersection of supply scarcity and AI-driven necessity; it trades at a valuation yet to fully reflect its projected earnings supercycle

    For 2026, MU has confirmed that its HBM capacity, essential for AI training, is fully sold out, providing exceptional revenue visibility that few tech stocks can match

    Despite its rally in 2025, analysts project its earnings to potentially triple or quadruple; it is rare to find a market leader in a critical tech bottleneck, with valuation discounts after the earnings beat, underscoring solid execution heading into AI-driven growth

    2026 is expected to be the year Edge AI goes mainstream, with AI-capable PCs and smartphones doubling DRAM content per device; benefiting MU from both cloud hyperscalers and consumer upgrades。。。

    If I could only hold ONE of these stocks through 2026, I’d pick Barrick because it is at the confluence of:
    1. debasement trade;
    2. AI infrastructure;
    3. prolonged under investment in the mining sector;
    each of which is sufficient to fuel a game changing bull over the coming years.

    🔥 If I could only hold ONE stock through 2026, I’d pick AMD — it’s the ticker I know best 😊 & familiarity matters when conviction is tested. With its OpenAI partnership & push into AI accelerators/servers, AMD is a direct play on the AI buildout. I’d rather hold what I understand than chase what I don’t — AMD is the name I trust to ride the AI wave into 2026🚀 @JC888 @Barcode @koolgal @Shyon @Aqa @DiAngel @Shernice軒嬣 2000

    I cannot take it seriously when there's predictions come out for the future of markets. Data has shown that almost always, the prediction guesses at a growth, whether the final results was a contraction or otherwise.
    Always do your due diligence, and invest if the recommendations align with your preference.

    “If I could only hold ONE of these stocks through 2026, I’d pick $Celestica(CLS)$ because of it's long term potential. Profitability and overall financials look good and the company has great outlook and stamina possibilities. Looks like it may dip soon and then go up. Keen watcher of this stock now.”

    从估值角度看,美光仍在用“老周期股”的框架被定价,与其在 AI 生态中的实际角色并不匹配。这种错位,恰恰提供了安全边际。对我来说,2026 年最理想的持仓,并不是最热闹的名字,而是这种需求确定、位置关键、但尚未被充分重估的公司。

    更重要的是需求的可见性。AI 相关的内存需求,并不是靠短期消费情绪推动,而是来自云厂商和数据中心持续、多年的资本开支。一旦配置标准确定,内存用量往往只会上调,很少回头。再加上 HBM 技术门槛高、供给受限,美光在议价能力和利润弹性上,都明显强于过去的存储周期。

    AI 的竞争早已不只是比谁有更强的算力,而是比谁能更高效地搬运和存储数据。HBM 正是这个阶段的关键瓶颈。无论是训练大模型,还是推理规模化落地,内存带宽和延迟都会直接影响系统效率。美光在 HBM 产品上的进展,让它从传统周期股,逐渐转向具备结构性成长属性的公司,这一点常常被市场低估。

    如果我只能从这份 2026 年十大股票精选里持有一只到 2026 年,我会选择美光科技(MU),因为它站在 AI 产业链里一个“不可或缺、却仍被低估”的位置。
