Hey Guys, two weeks ago, I posted about tracking YouTuber returns from last year "best picks" [I tracked the returns of 16 popular Stock YouTubers from 2025](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValueInvesting/comments/1q42c8p/i_tracked_the_returns_of_16_popular_stock/)
This week, I went down the rabbit hole and watched 200+ videos to aggregated the "Top Picks for 2026" from over 50 different channels. Basically I build a consensus list.
A stock had to be recommended by at least 4 different YouTubers to make the cut. The Result: A list of 14 stocks.
The Top 3 Most Recommended ( I know that's all you cared) are:
1. **Google** (Alphabet)
2. **SoFi**
3. **Amazon**
As a YouTuber myself, I know how much research goes into my videos, but I’m also aware that many creators have ulterior motives, chase views, sponsorships or - worse - might be pushing paid pumps from certain companies.
Do you think a "Consensus List" like this actually has value as a "Wisdom of the Crowds" metric? Or is it just an echo chamber? Do you like the top 3 for this year? Personally, I’m curious to see if this basket of 14 stocks will beat the S&P 500 in 2026.
I’m not posting this to get views (the video is doing incredible with the Youtube algo, and I honestly prefer you just comment here on Reddit) but if you want to watch it:
