Author presents seven 2026 stock picks with undervaluation theses and catalysts spanning mining, luxury autos, industrials, defense, financials, and utilities.
AMRQ — LONG Author claims Amaroq has moved from explorer to producer and recently beat FY25 gold production guidance. The strategic mechanism is Western demand for critical minerals outside Chinese influence, with Amaroq effectively owning rights to South Greenland. Catalyst: the Phase 2 plant upgrade lands in Q2 2026, boosting recovery rates to roughly 90% and turning the company into a cash-flow machine as gold prices hold historic highs.
The Phase 2 plant upgrade lands in Q2 2026.
RACE — LONG Author argues Ferrari trades like a luxury brand such as Hermès rather than a traditional automaker, with an order book entirely sold out through 2026. The customer base is described as immune to interest rates and inflation, and Ferrari is claimed to have arguably the strongest pricing power of any company. Catalyst: Lewis Hamilton's second season in Red and the imminent launch of Ferrari's first EV, which the market expects to be sold out before the public sees it.
Lewis Hamilton’s second season in Red + the imminent launch of their first EV.
AML — LONG Author views Aston Martin as a contrarian distressed pick, with the stock battered to a valuation of 0.4x sales. The thesis relies entirely on successful delivery of the Valhalla supercar in 2026 and debt stabilization. If cars are delivered on time this year, the author argues the stock could re-rate from bankruptcy risk to luxury brand, while explicitly noting high risk and massive potential upside.

FLR — LONG Author says Fluor has de-risked its backlog, with 82% of contracts now reimbursable so clients pay for cost overruns rather than Fluor. Fluor is also described as actually building data centers for hyperscalers and having a massive footprint in the nuclear/SMR renaissance. Catalysts: aggressive share buybacks continuing through Feb 2026 and monetization of its NuScale SMR stake.

LHX — LONG Author views L3Harris as a high-growth defense tech layer focused on space, cyber, and comms, unlike slower-moving traditional defense metal benders such as Lockheed and Northrop. The catalyst is the planned spin-off of its Missile Solutions unit later in 2026. Author states this unlocks shareholder value and leaves a leaner, higher-margin tech core.

COF — LONG Author's thesis is the Discover acquisition, which gives Capital One an issuer-plus-network closed loop to bypass Visa/Mastercard fees and capture the entire transaction margin. Even without that acquisition, the author calls Capital One a tech-forward bank trading at a value multiple. Catalyst: realizing the projected $2.7B in synergies.
Realizing the projected $2.7B in synergies.
NEE — LONG Author argues AI data centers consume an insane amount of electricity, and NextEra is the largest US renewable developer and the only one with the scale to power the AI boom. The setup combines the safety of a regulated utility, Florida Power & Light, with high-growth tech exposure. Catalyst: confirmed 10% dividend growth through 2026 and massive demand from hyperscalers Google/Microsoft signing long-term power purchase agreements.
