10 Best New Stocks to Buy Other Than SpaceX

In this article, we will look at the 10 Best New Stocks to Buy Other Than SpaceX.

Newly listed stocks have been getting more attention as investors look for companies that are still early in their public-market life cycle. Renaissance Capital describes its IPO-focused strategy as a way to access the “largest, most liquid US-listed newly public company stocks.” The firm also highlights the idea of getting exposure “prior to their inclusion in core U.S. equity portfolios,” while telling investors to get in early on newly-traded companies.

First Trust makes a similar case, saying its strategy provides “timely and systematic exposure to newly listed companies.” The firm also ties IPOs and spin-offs to the “growth and innovativeness of the U.S. economy,” which fits the broader reason investors follow newly public companies. Many of these businesses come to market with exposure to themes such as artificial intelligence, healthcare innovation, financial technology, industrial automation, and consumer platforms.

At the same time, Fidelity notes that “There are risks associated with investing in a public offering,” including “unproven management.” The best new stocks are not simply the most hyped IPOs, but companies where the public-market story is becoming more credible after listing. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the 10 Best New Stocks to Buy Other Than SpaceX.

10. Medline Inc. (NASDAQ:MDLN)

On June 12, 2026, William Blair analyst Brandon Vazquez said Medline Inc. (NASDAQ:MDLN) shares were lower after news of a fire at a distribution center in Tracy, California. Vazquez noted that the 1M square-foot facility represents 4% of Medline’s warehouse space in the U.S. and 3% globally. William Blair expects Medline to spend to ensure customer orders are fulfilled, which could pressure margins in the short term. Still, Vazquez expects the stock impact to be “manageable over the medium term,” citing Medline’s scale and ability to continue fulfilling customer orders. William Blair kept an Outperform rating on Medline.

Also on June 12, Leerink analyst Michael Cherny noted that a fire broke out the previous afternoon at Medline’s Tracy, CA, 1 million sq. ft. distribution facility, completely engulfing the building. No injuries were reported, and local authorities were still assessing the situation. Cherny said the facility had at least been taken offline, meaning Medline was evaluating contingency plans to maintain customer order fulfillment. Leerink expects some short-term financial impact and possible disruption in product availability and fill rates, even if redundancy plans help mitigate the issue. Longer term, Cherny said the fire does not change Medline’s opportunity, and Leerink maintained an Outperform rating.

Earlier, ABC7 News reported that a massive fire destroyed Medline’s 1 million-square-foot medical supply distribution center in Tracy, California, citing Tracy Police Department spokesperson Kaylin Heefner. Management noted that everyone in the facility was safe and accounted for, with no injuries reported so far. The warehouse fire started around 1 p.m. Thursday and was still burning Friday morning.

Wedbush also raised its price target on Cerebras Systems to $280 from $270 and kept an Outperform rating. Wedbush said Cerebras reported results ahead of initial expectations with no major surprises, while ongoing engagements with large customers support a constructive outlook.

On June 23, 2026, TD Cowen named X-Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:XE) a best smid-cap idea for 2026 and kept a Buy rating with a $35 price target.

On June 4, X-energy reported Q1 revenue of $43.4M, versus the $67.87M consensus. CEO J. Clay Sell said the company’s first earnings announcement as a public company marked an “important moment,” pointing to progress in commercializing advanced nuclear technology at scale.
