In this article, we will look at the 10 Under-the-Radar Stocks with Massive Upside Heading into 2026.
On November 27, Kathleen Entwistle from Morgan Stanley appeared on a CNBC television interview to discuss how investors should position their portfolios as the market approaches year-end. Entwistle noted that she views market volatility as an opportunity to reposition portfolios by investing more when the market is down and scaling back where there is less upside potential. Entwistle has also been advising her clients to scale back on big tech names. She noted that while the Mag 7 stocks have done great over the year, there are still 497 other companies in the S&P 500 that offer good investment opportunities. She elaborated that her equal-weight outlook on big tech is mainly due to companies not performing up to their potential, and simply because she does not want to be concentrated on only a few names.
Entwistle highlighted that she likes companies such as the S&P 500 large-cap, which have the opportunity to leverage AI for their benefit. In addition, Entwistle is also interested in private equity. She elaborated that, unlike previous times when most of the wealth generation for private companies happened at their IPO offerings, private companies are now choosing to stay private longer. Therefore, she is advising investors and her clients to participate in this private equity growth as well.
With that, let’s take a look at the 10 Under-the-Radar Stocks with Massive Upside Heading into 2026.
