Market Signal Briefing

This article breaks down the 'YieldMax Battle,' exploring whether YMAX's 72% yield is fundamentally safer than ULTY's eye-popping 129%. Despite ULTY's hybrid transformation, the move feels like 'too little, too late' and is unlikely to deliver a significant turnaround in performance. YMAX remains one of the few YieldMax funds actually worth holding as we head into 2026.

In the elite group of Dividend King stocks, Stanley Black & Decker has the performance to back up its royal pedigree.

Some of my favorite companies to invest in are what I like to call "boring but important."

Here, boring is as far from a bad thing as it's possible to be. These are the companies that show up day in and day out to provide goods and services the world needs to function.

They don't generate the headlines the latest tech start-up or pharmaceutical breakthrough does, but they do generate stable and lasting returns for their shareholders -- either through steady share price growth, a world-class dividend, or some combination thereof.

There's a good chance you use products from a boring but important company daily, but you probably haven't ever spared a thought about the company that made those products.

That's a good thing for people who invest in these companies. The lack of media hype keeps buying pressure and share prices fairly low, allowing the dividends these sorts of companies pay to manage some serious yields.

One case in point is Stanley Black & Decker (SWK +0.20%). It's one of America's oldest companies, and its dividend yields 3.9% at current prices. That's almost double the average S&P 500 stock's 2% dividend yield.

Stanley Black & Decker is also part of a small, noble group of stocks known as Dividend Kings. A Dividend King is a company that has raised its dividend for at least 50 consecutive years. Stanley Black & Decker is on its 58th consecutive year of dividend increases.

Read on to see what a humble tool company can do for your portfolio.

Reliable, dependable, American-made Stanley Black & Decker was founded in 1843 and still operates out of New Britain, Connecticut, the city it originated. Today, it's a giant of the tool industry. It sells hand tools, power tools, and associated products under the DeWalt, Craftsman, Cub Adet, and Hustler names, and (of course) its own Black + Decker brand.

Its business is simple and straightforward. Even if you're not a contractor or even very handy, it's easy to understand a power tool and why it's useful.

Stanley Black & Decker isn't a growth company. Its revenue has been fairly stagnant in recent years, growing or falling by a couple of percentage points year over year. Even so, it consistently beats earnings estimates.

But there's a bigger reason why you'd want Stanley Black & Decker in your portfolio as well as your tool shed -- the dividend.

Image source: Getty Images.

At present, Stanley Black & Decker pays an annual dividend of $3.32 per share, or four quarterly $0.83 payments. That's good for a 3.9% yield at current prices -- which, as I mentioned earlier, is nearly twice the average for an S&P 500 stock.

The five-year dividend growth rate for Stanley Black & Decker is 3.49%, and I don't see that dividend growth slowing or stopping anytime soon. Once companies achieve Dividend King status, they tend to want to keep it.

Stanley Black & Decker's share price, on the other hand, leaves a lot to be desired. So that's not why you would buy this one. However, despite its share price being in the doldrums since 2020, Stanley Black & Decker is showing early momentum this year. It's up about 13.5% since the beginning of 2026, which is a promising start.

As close to a sure thing as it gets Whether it keeps up that growth remains to be seen. But what you can be fairly certain of is that this company will continue paying or growing its dividend until the very unlikely event that one of America's largest companies goes under, or the heat death of the universe, whichever comes first. Either way, it's a great stock to buy, set up a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP), and forget about it as you let it snowball behind the scenes.

There are no sure things in investing. Even the most reliable companies can go out of business. It's just that the odds of that happening to Stanley Black & Decker are very slim. On the other hand, the odds of it increasing its dividend year after year are significantly higher.

It's definitely worth a look if you want a nice, passive investment you don't need to watch closely. That's an invaluable tool for a savvy investor.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, and that defendants failed to disclose that: (1) Bath & Body Works’ strategy of pursuing “adjacencies, collaborations and promotions” was not growing the customer base and/or delivering the level of growth in net sales touted; (2) as Bath & Body Works’ strategy of “adjacencies, collaborations and promotions” faltered, it relied on brand collaborations “to carry quarters” and obfuscate otherwise weak underlying financial results; (3) as a result, Bath & Body Works was unlikely to meet its own previously issued financial guidance; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about Bath & Body Works’ business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

Micron's memory chips are in huge demand.

Finding dirt cheap stocks in the artificial intelligence (AI) world isn't an easy task. Most stocks have a bit of a premium valuation in anticipation of what could be developed down the road. However, there's one notable exception that appears to be incredibly cheap and that investors could take advantage of before it skyrockets.

Micron Technology (MU +7.76%) is a key provider of memory chips. Memory is a bit more cyclical than logic chips, but we're seeing a huge demand for memory that is expected to explode over the next few years. As a result, it could be the perfect time to buy this dirt cheap stock before it soars.

Image source: Getty Images.

How cheap is Micron's stock? First, let's define how cheap Micron is. Most big tech companies trade for about 30 times forward earnings in today's market environment. There are also more exposed companies like Nvidia that have a higher valuation due to higher growth rates. However, Micron is far cheaper than any of those, and trades for a mere 10 times forward earnings.

MU PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts

Investors need to be careful here. Just because a stock is valued at a cheap level doesn't mean that it's actually cheap. Investors must pump the brakes and understand why Micron's stock is trading at a mere 10 times forward earnings, especially after it reported strong revenue growth over the past two years.

MU Revenue (Quarterly YoY Growth) data by YCharts

Furthermore, that growth rate isn't expected to slow down anytime soon. Wall Street analysts expect 133% growth during its next quarter, and 100% growth for fiscal year 2026 overall. Those are monster growth figures, so why is Micron's stock so cheap?

It all has to do with the cyclical nature of memory chips. Memory chips, unlike logic chips produced by companies like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, are fairly commoditized. There aren't really any massive technological innovations that set one company's product apart from another. Additionally, it costs a lot of money to construct fabrication facilities, so companies often overbuild capacity in preparation for the next demand wave. This creates excess capacity during periods when it isn't needed, causing memory prices to tank in cycles.

As a result, investors do not give a company like Micron a premium valuation because they know if they stick around for too long, they'll get burned. There's nothing different this time about memory technology or its cyclical nature. However, demand for memory is unlike anything we've ever seen, and it could provide a solid investment opportunity for 2026.

Micron's production capacity is at its max During its Q1 earnings report, Sumit Sadana, Micron's chief business officer, noted that the company is "more than sold out." This isn't expected to be alleviated anytime soon, as the market opportunity for its high-bandwidth memory (HBM) is expected to grow at a 40% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to $100 billion by 2028. It's critical that Micron increases its production capacity to capitalize on this massive opportunity, but as of now, its production capacity is maxed out.

Several production facilities are under construction, and it is believed that its Idaho fab facility will have output starting in mid-2027. It's also starting construction on a second Idaho fab that should be operational by the end of 2028. Additionally, it is building another fabrication facility in New York that should be online in 2030.

None of those facilities solves the production constraint problem that is showing up in 2026. As a result, memory prices could continue to soar, allowing Micron to profit from the shortage. Its gross margin is approaching recent highs, and if management's projections are correct, it will easily achieve record margins this year.

MU Gross Profit Margin (Quarterly) data by YCharts

For Q2, Micron expects its gross margin to be at an all-time high of 67%. This will supercharge Micron's earnings and allow its profitability to surge. I think this will cause Micron's stock to soar throughout 2026, as we're still years away from resolving the memory capacity crunch. Although Micron is cyclical, I think investors have an opportunity to scoop up one of the best investment AI opportunities in 2026.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - January 19, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: BTDR) between June 6, 2024 and November 10, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important February 2, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Bitdeer securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Bitdeer class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=49102 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than February 2, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants provided investors with material information concerning Bitdeer's research and technology roadmap for its SEALMINER Bitcoin mining machine. Defendants' statements included, among other things, confidence in Bitdeer's mass production of its fourth-generation SEALMINER (A4) rigs using its SEAL04 ASIC ("application-specific integrated circuit") chip technology expected to have a chip energy efficiency of as low as 5J/TH. Defendants provided these positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating false and materially misleading statements and/or concerning material adverse facts concerning the true state of Bitdeer's SEALMINER A4 project. Specifically, defendants failed to disclose that the SEAL04 chip projected to have a chip-level energy efficiency of 5 J/TH would be ready for use in the A4 rigs with an expected mass production to begin in the second quarter 2025. Such statements absent these material facts caused investors to purchase Bitdeer securities at artificially inflated prices. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Greenland Resources Inc. (TSX:MOLY, FSE:M0LY) (“Greenland Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that as a follow up to its December 3, 2025 press release where the European Commission presented RESourceEU, and mentioned the Company’s Malmbjerg project in Greenland as a priority EU project, the Company has signed a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) for long term molybdenum supply with GMH Gruppe SE & Co. KG, (GMH), a leading European producer and processor of steel long products, special bar quality, tool steels, forgings and castings. GMH is a pioneer in sustainable steel production using electric arc furnaces based on scrap recycling thus generating 80 percent fewer CO2 emissions than conventionally produced steel.

The MOU sets the path for a long-term supply agreement covering ferro-molybdenum, molybdenum-oxide and briquettes produced from molybdenum ore extracted in Greenland by the Company that will be refined in Belgium. GMH will be able to ensure a stable and responsibly sourced long term secured molybdenum supply with high sustainability standards and low scope 1&2 emissions from an EU associate country. GMH supplies customized steel solutions out of more than 15 production sites mostly located in Germany. Key markets for these products are the automotive, energy, raw materials, aerospace, defence, agricultural, construction machinery, tooling, mechanical engineering and transportation sectors.

Honourable Tim Hodgson, Canada’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources commented: “Last year I was pleased to travel to Berlin and sign a Declaration of Intent with Germany to Strengthen Cooperation on Critical Minerals. Following that, in October 2025, on the margins of the G7 Energy and Environment Ministers’ Meeting in Toronto, the Government of Canada issued a communique where the Canadian mining company Greenland Resources was highlighted for its contribution to the Italian steel sector – now, I am pleased to see Greenland Resources moving forward and also contributing to the Germany steel industry, another important G7 ally. This is an example of how our government is working with international partners to create a pathway that secures economic and trade opportunity for Canadian businesses, building a more prosperous, sovereign Canada.”

The EU is the second largest molybdenum user worldwide has a large processing capacity but has no extraction. Germany is the largest user in the EU, classifying molybdenum in the highest risk “category 3” of the Germany Criticality List of strategic raw materials. Additionally, Canada’s critical minerals list also includes molybdenum.

About GMH Gruppe

GMH Gruppe is a full-service provider of steel products, ranging from scrap-based steelmaking to ready-to-install components. It is one of Europe’s largest privately owned metal-processing companies. The group comprises more than 20 medium-sized steel, forging and casting industry sites, serving customers in over 50 countries. With around 6,000 employees, GMH Gruppe generates annual revenues of over 2 billion euros. GMH Gruppe is a pioneer in sustainable steel production and a member of the ‘German Association of Climate Protection Companies’. By recycling metal scrap, the company produces green steel and contributes to a circular economy. The use of electric arc furnaces at four sites reduces CO2 emissions by 80% compared to the conventional blast furnace and converter route. This also reduces the carbon footprint of customers supplied by GMH. These include companies from the automotive, mechanical engineering, railway, energy, logistics, aerospace, agriculture, and construction machinery sectors. GMH Gruppe is committed to achieving full climate-neutrality by 2039. https://www.gmh-gruppe.de/en/

About Greenland Resources Inc.

Greenland Resources is a Canadian public company with the Ontario Securities Commission as its principal regulator and is focused on the development of its 100% owned Climax type primary molybdenum deposit located in central east Greenland. The Project has also magnesium as a byproduct, a market dominated 89% by China. The Malmbjerg project is an open pit operation with an environmentally friendly mine design focused on reduced water usage, low aquatic disturbance and low footprint due to modularized infrastructure. The Malmbjerg project benefits from an NI 43-101 Definitive Feasibility Study completed by Tetra Tech in 2022, with an US$820 million capex and a levered after-tax IRR of 33.8% and payback of 2.4 years, using US$18 per pound molybdenum price. The Proven and Probable Reserves are 245 million tonnes at 0.176% MoS2, for 571 million pounds of contained molybdenum metal. As the high-grade molybdenum is mined for the first half of the mine life, the average annual production for years one to ten is 32.8 million pounds per year of contained molybdenum metal at an average grade of 0.23% MoS2, approximately 25% of EU total yearly consumption and 100% of EU defence needs. On byproduct magnesium, the project uses approximately 35,000 m3 per day of saline water with around 900 ppm of magnesium and the Company is working on extracting magnesium from the saline water using innovative technologies. In addition, the molybdenum concentrate has a magnesium component. The Company is aiming to incorporate magnesium in the economics of the feasibility study. On June 19, 2025, The Company was awarded an exploitation license for molybdenum and magnesium. With offices in Toronto, the Company is led by a management team with an extensive track record in the mining industry and capital markets. For further details, please refer to our web site (www.greenlandresources.ca) and our Canadian regulatory filings on Greenland Resources’ profile at http://www.sedarplus.com/

The Project is supported by the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA). ERMA is managed by EIT RawMaterials GmbH, an organization within the EIT, a body of the European Union.

About Molybdenum and the EU

The EU is the second largest molybdenum user worldwide, (around 122 million pounds of molybdenum per year, 19% of the global demand according to IMOA), has large processing capacity, produces the best specialty steel products worldwide but has no molybdenum extraction. Green energy technologies, steel and defence are the key drivers for market growth. When molybdenum is added to steel and cast iron, it enhances strength, hardenability, weldability, toughness, temperature strength, and corrosion resistance. To a greater degree, the EU steel dependent industries like automotive, construction, and engineering, represent around 18% of EU GDP. Greenland Resources strategically located Malmbjerg project has the potential to supply in and for the EU approximately 25% of the EU demand of environmentally friendly high-quality primary molybdenum from a responsible EU Associate country for decades to come, as well as 100% of EU defence molybdenum consumption. More than 80% of the metallic materials (including carbon and stainless steels) to be used for defence applications require molybdenum alloying. The primary molybdenum in the Malmbjerg project is ideal for EU defence and high-performance steel applications because of low deleterious elements and long-term security supply. The EU expects to increase defense expenditures from current 1.5% to around 5% of GDP. Primary molybdenum is only produced in China (87%) and the USA (13%), China imposed export controls on molybdenum and is now a net importer. Molybdenum is categorized as a critical and/or strategic mineral across the top five defence nations in the world: U.S., China, Russia, India, and South Korea.

According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. The baby formula business Perrigo acquired from Nestlé suffered from serious underinvestment in repairs, maintenance, and operational optimization. The Company would be required to make large investments and expenditures beyond the cost estimates it shared with investors to fix the baby formula business's problems. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Perrigo, investors suffered damages.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of agilon health, inc. (NYSE: AGL) between February 26, 2025 and August 4, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important March 2, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the Firm.

SO WHAT: If you purchased agilon securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the agilon class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=46039 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 2, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) defendants recklessly issued guidance for 2025 that they knew or should have known was not going to be achieved, given material industry headwinds of which they were aware; (2) defendants materially overstated the immediate positive financial impact from “strategic actions” taken by agilon to reduce risk; and (3) as a result, defendants’ statements about agilon’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading at all times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the agilon class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=46039 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of securities of Ardent Health, Inc. (NYSE: ARDT) between July 18, 2024 and November 12, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 9, 2026.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Ardent Health securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Ardent Health class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50392 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 9, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation.

In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made misrepresentations regarding Ardent Health’s accounts receivable. Defendants publicly reported Ardent Health’s accounts receivable on a quarterly basis. They further stated that Ardent Health employed an active monitoring process to determine the collectability of its accounts receivable, and that this process included “detailed reviews of historical collections” as a “primary source of information.” Further, defendants represented that Ardent Health considered “trends in federal and state governmental healthcare coverage” and that its “management determines [when an] account is uncollectible, at which time the account is written off.” When defendants began to reveal increased claim denials by third-party payors, they downplayed the issue, stating that the increased payor denials were “turning [] more into a slow pay versus not getting paid,” and did not write-off the uncollectible accounts. In addition, defendants represented that Ardent Health maintained professional malpractice liability insurance in amounts “sufficient to cover claims arising out of [its] operations[.]” In truth, Ardent Health did not primarily rely on “detailed reviews of historical collections” in determining collectability of accounts receivable nor did “management determine[] [when an] account is uncollectible.” Instead, Ardent Health’s accounts receivable framework “utilized a 180-day cliff at which time an account became fully reserved.” This allowed Ardent Health to report higher amounts of accounts receivable during the Class Period, and delay recognizing losses on uncollectable accounts. And Ardent Health did not even maintain professional malpractice liability insurance in amounts “sufficient to cover claims arising out of [its] operations[.]” In truth, Ardent Health’s professional liability reserves were insufficient to cover “significant social inflationary pressure in medical malpractice cases the past several years,” which had been an “increasing dynamic year-over-year” in Ardent Health’s New Mexico market. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

We’ve seen many notable splits in recent years, with companies aiming to increase liquidity within shares and erase barriers to entry for potential investors.

Lower share prices are more affordable for a greater portion of investors, although it’s worth noting that the rise of fractional share investing offered by many brokerages has alleviated this issue for some.

But why shouldn’t investors buy blindly into a split? Let’s take a closer look.

Splits are Just Cosmetic ChangesIt’s vital to know that splits are purely cosmetic changes that do not affect a company's valuation. Splits increase the number of shares outstanding while reducing the share price proportionally, which leaves market caps unchanged.

The underlying business fundamentals also remain the exact same, with its financial health remaining unaltered. Splits shouldn’t be seen as buy signals but rather as a reflection of underlying company strength—splits are commonly announced when share prices become ‘steep,’ which implies strong underlying buying pressure for shares overall.

Rather, investors should focus on other aspects that truly drive share prices higher, including positive earnings estimate revisions, better-than-expected quarterly results, and strong sales growth. 

Recent SplitsNetflix (NFLX - Free Report) is a great example of a recent split. Its recent 10-for-1 split followed a massive run in shares and was aimed at improving liquidity and accessibility. The price tag got knocked down considerably, opening up access for many more investors.

Keep in mind that Netflix is actually on the reporting docket this week. Earnings and revenue expectations have primarily remained flat over the last few months, with current estimates alluding to 27% EPS growth on 17% higher sales. Netflix's profitability has improved nicely amid operational efficiencies and the addition of ad-support tiers, with margins moving higher over the last few periods.

Bottom Line

Splits are generally covered in positivity, as they allow a greater portion of investors to get in. While it’s a positive development, it’s critical to realize that splits aren’t an explicit buy signal, as investors should instead focus on underlying business fundamentals.

Alphabet and Taiwan Semiconductor have nearly unstoppable businesses.

Finding stocks that are great candidates to buy now and hold forever isn't easy. These need to be fairly stable companies, with several avenues to continue their growth path. Furthermore, they need to have market-beating growth opportunities, as owning stocks that underperform the market misses the whole point of investing in individual stocks.

Two that I think investors can buy in 2026 and hold forever are Alphabet (GOOG 0.85%) (GOOGL 0.83%) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM +0.22%). Each of these stocks has massive tailwinds blowing in its favor and is a vital part of the industries in which they operate. I think investors can confidently buy them now and hide them away in their portfolio, as they are slated to deliver market-beating returns for the foreseeable future.

1. Alphabet Alphabet is the parent company of businesses like Google, YouTube, Waymo, Android, and many others. While it has a wide reach, the largest part of its business operates on advertising revenue. This primarily comes via its Google Search engine, which has evolved to integrate generative AI summaries in each search result. This innovation will keep Google relevant for years to come, allowing it to maintain its cash cow.

Additionally, Alphabet is emerging as a generative AI leader. While it stumbled out of the gates, it has quickly caught up to become a leader, making it one of the more popular models available. While this isn't generating a ton of revenue right now, it has the potential to down the road.

One area where it could see a boost is in its cloud computing business. Google Cloud is one of the big three of cloud computing, and its popularity could rise as Gemini's status does. Similar to how Azure has grown quickly due to its tie-in with ChatGPT, Google Cloud could experience outsized growth thanks to Gemini.

Alphabet is in a great position to grow its core business and expand into artificial intelligence (AI) over the next few years. Alphabet has proven that it's a relevant force in any industry it operates in, and if it ever falls behind, it has the resources to catch up. This makes for a great company to invest in, and I think Alphabet can be a breakthrough position in any investor's portfolio.

2. Taiwan Semiconductor There are several vital companies in the world, but I'd argue that Taiwan Semiconductor is among the most important. It produces the majority of the world's cutting-edge chips, and this position is relatively unchallenged, as there aren't many chip foundry businesses operating around the world due to the high cost to enter this field.

Additionally, Taiwan Semiconductor is also a fierce competitor, and it is consistently innovating to launch new chip technologies. Right now, Taiwan Semiconductor's next-generation 2-nanometer chip has just started production. This chip offers vast improvements in energy efficiency, consuming 25% to 30% less power than its previous 3nm chip when configured to run at the same speed.

It isn't stopping there, either. Taiwan Semiconductor has several more technologies launching over the next few years, and each will offer improvements over the others.

Without Taiwan Semiconductor's capabilities, tech wouldn't look the same as it does now. An investment in Taiwan Semiconductor is a bet that we're going to use more advanced chips in greater quantities in the future. That seems like a no-brainer to me, making Taiwan Semiconductor an excellent stock to buy now and hold forever.

However, there is one caveat with Taiwan Semiconductor: its location. Many investors are worried that China could invade Taiwan to bring it back under its control. While this would be bad for the stock, it would also be bad for the world. Military action like that could drag the U.S. and its allies into a conflict with China, which would tank the stock market in its entirety.

So if this happens, there would likely be few safe havens. As a result, I tend to downplay that risk, as there will be far wider implications if military action does occur. What's more, Taiwan Semiconductor is expanding geographically, building fabrication plants in such places as the U.S., Japan, and Germany. 

I still think Taiwan Semiconductor is an excellent stock to buy now and hold forever, as there are far too many tailwinds blowing in its favor to miss out on this huge winner.

Policy highlights importance of compliant, child-safe platforms and non-social digital engagement

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / January 19, 2026 / Kidoz Inc. (TSXV:KDOZ)(OTCQB:KDOZF) (the "Company"), a global AdTech platform delivering safe mobile gamer engagement at scale, today announced that the accelerating regulatory restrictions on children's access to social media are driving a structural shift in how advertisers reach young audiences, with mobile games emerging as a scalable, performant, and compliant channel.

France's announced plan to ban children under-15 from social media starting September 2026 is another example of a broader and accelerating global trend. As access to social platforms narrows, advertisers are actively reallocating youth-focused budgets toward environments that are already compliant with child privacy laws and aligned with public company governance standards.

"This is not a theoretical future - advertisers are already moving to brand-positive environments that are both compliant and high-performance," said Kidoz CEO Jason Williams. "Mobile gaming is becoming the more popular digital channel for reaching youth audiences, not solely because of regulation, but because it uniquely combines brand safety, deep engagement, and scalable reach in a way social media increasingly cannot."

For youth focused brands, digital marketing now presents real reputational risk. Social media platforms increasingly fail that test due to data profiling, algorithmic manipulation and the promotion of questionable content.

Kidoz uses contextual advertising in mobile games and offers an alternative that aligns with fundamental brand safety requirements:

No reliance on personal data or behavioral profiling

Clear compliance with COPPA, GDPR-K, and emerging EU standards

Brand-safe content environments

Transparent and auditable media

Kidoz operates exclusively within a privacy-by-design framework, enabling brands to engage youth audiences inside mobile games, without collecting personal data or tracking users across apps.

According to Common Sense Media's latest youth media habits census, children are spending more of their digital time in games. As social media access is restricted, that concentration will increase. Brands that want to maintain reach, relevance, and early brand affinity with the next generation are adjusting strategies accordingly.

Kidoz believes this shift represents long-term realignment. As governments raise expectations and enforcement becomes stricter, advertising models that do not rely on personal data will increasingly define how brands engage young audiences.

For full details of the Company's operations and financial results, please refer to the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov or the Kidoz Inc. investor website at https://investor.kidoz.net or on the https://investor.kidoz.net/ website.

About Kidoz Inc.

Kidoz Inc. (TSXV:KDOZ) (OTCQB:KDOZF) (www.kidoz.net) is a global AdTech platform delivering safe mobile gamer engagement at scale.

Originally built to protect kids, the platform also now enables advertisers to reach audiences of all ages across the entire mobile gaming ecosystem, using privacy-first contextual targeting, including the growing segment of users who opt out of personal data tracking.

Its technology stack combines proprietary SDK integrations, the Kidoz Privacy Shield, and the Kite IQ contextual AI engine to deliver compliant, high-impact campaigns aligned with COPPA, GDPR-K, Apple ATT, and global standards. Google-certified and Apple-approved, Kidoz reaches more than a billion users worldwide.

Trusted by leading brands, Kidoz enables advertisers to reach high-value gaming audiences through a unified suite of managed, programmatic, SSP, DSP, and Ad Exchange solutions.
