In this article, we will look at the 15 Best Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Next 10 Years.

Long-term investing only works if earnings keep compounding. That is the part of the equation investors cannot substitute with sentiment or short-term multiple expansion. Fidelity’s market outlook makes that point clearly, noting that “The earnings growth that has driven stocks in 2025 shows no signs of flagging heading into 2026.” The firm adds that “analysts expect strong growth to continue.” The current cycle has not just been about optimism. It has been backed by real profit expansion, and expectations are for this momentum to carry forward.

J.P. Morgan Asset Management takes a longer lens in its 2026 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions report. The firm states, “We have high conviction in the profitability of U.S. corporates,” and goes further, arguing that “Global stocks roughly double over our forecast horizon, given strong investment and resilient profits.” Over a 10-year horizon, equity returns are driven primarily by earnings growth and the reinvestment of capital at attractive rates.

Put together, if profitability remains durable and long-term capital investment continues to support earnings expansion, then buying and holding companies with sustained growth trajectories becomes less about timing and more about patience. With that in mind, we take a closer look at 15 Best Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Next 10 Years.

15. Alamos Gold Inc. (NYSE:AGI)

On February 26, 2026, BofA raised its price target on Alamos Gold Inc. (NYSE:AGI) to $57 from $48 and maintained a Buy rating. The firm said it is updating price targets across its North American Metals and Mining coverage following revised 2026 metal price forecasts.

On February 18, 2026, Alamos Gold increased its quarterly dividend by 60% to 4c per share, payable on March 26, 2026, to shareholders of record as of March 12, 2026.

Earlier in February, Alamos provided updated three-year production and operating guidance and outlined longer-term production of approximately one million ounces per year by 2030 through expansion of the Island Gold District and initial production from Lynn Lake. President and CEO John A. McCluskey said, “Our operational performance over the past year was not up to our standards,” but added that the company expects stronger performance in 2026 as production ramps and costs decline following completion of the Island Gold shaft expansion. McCluskey also said the company expects to deliver 46% production growth by 2028 and nearly 20% lower AISC, with production projected to reach one million ounces annually by 2030. Production guidance for 2026 was reduced versus prior guidance, with slightly lower Canadian output partially offset by higher production at the Mulatos District. Guidance for 2027 is largely in line with previous guidance and implies a 13% increase from 2026, followed by a further 15% increase in 2028.
