The best stocks to buy in 2026 will not be the same as the best stocks to buy in 2025. A lot of investing trends that outperformed the market in 2025 will underperform the market in 2026. Technology stocks, crytpo and cryptocurrency, gold, and silver are all investing trends that died in 2025. On the other hand, finance stocks, materials stocks, and energy stocks should outperform the stock market in 2026. This sector rotation explained why the stock market has reached a new all time high, while tech stocks have fallen behind. So stop buying AI stocks and buy these top stocks instead.
