16 Most Promising Long-Term Stocks According to Analysts

In this piece, we will take a look at the 16 most promising long-term stocks according to analysts. If you want to skip our overview of long term investing, then you can take a look at 5 Most Promising Long-Term Stocks According to Analysts.

While investing comes in all sizes and flavors, the one approach that leads to billions of dollars in wealth is typically long term capital appreciation. Investing in the right set of companies, coupled with years of low interest rates to help stimulate stock market growth has produced nearly all of America’s biggest billionaires. Most of the world’s richest men, such as Bill Gates of Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) co founders Page & Brin, Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) co-founder Elon Musk, or Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffett got into the right stocks or set up the right companies decades back and then patiently waited for the shares to appreciate.

Over the long term, stocks tend to produce sizeable returns. For instance, both of Wall Street’s leading stock indexes – the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ Composite – have outpaced inflation. Starting from the year 2000, the former has posted 228% in returns and the latter is up by 357%. So, if you had invested a dollar in either of the indexes, you’d have made more than if you’d bought a security that grew the principal by the annual inflation rate. This makes stocks quite a lucrative way of slowly growing the value of money over time and ensuring that the growth outpaces any inflationary after effects.

Crucially though, just as an inflation protected security also pays a coupon rate annually, stocks also offer a similar opportunity through dividends. Dividends are typically paid by established companies that can balance investor payouts with growth investments. A dividend is a share in a firm’s profits after taxes and interest payments have been accounted for. In financial analysis, models such as the Gordon Growth Model enable investors to evaluate whether dividend growth rates lend a stock adequate intrinsic value to merit an investment. Additionally, the earnings per share (EPS) part of every quarterly and annual earnings release allows them to see how much money a company is paying to investors out of its total earnings. One common metric is a dividend payout ratio which divides the dividends by the EPS and also lets analysts calculate the retention ratio.

When it comes to dividends, they also enable additional returns through share price appreciation. Some investors who do not rely on dividend earnings to meet living expenses or other payouts reinvest the money into the shares. This allows them to earn dividends on dividends and share price appreciation of the new stock bought. This strategy is called compounding, and none other than Warren Buffett is one of its biggest adherents.

Speaking at Berkshire Hathaway’s 2019 Annual Conference, the Oracle of Omaha talked quite a bit about compounding:

It is the primary motivation, but it’s been that for a very, very ,very long time. No matter what was going right in my life, the things that were going badly at Berkshire, I would not feel them you know. I don’t need to be spending my time working on something that makes me feel bad about the results of it when we get through. And it’s something that’s doable, I mean the culture is stronger now than it was 10 years ago and it was stronger then than 10 years previously, it moves slowly, but it goes in the right direction. And when we get chances to deploy the capital, we’ve always tried to make any entity, whether it was the partnership originally or the Berkshire now, or blue chips [inaudible] that are even diversified [inaudible]. We wanted them all to be compounding, in effect be compounding machines that’s why people gave this capital to us and why we put our own capital in. And if failed at that we really felt like we failed. It didn’t make any difference how much money we made from fees or anything like that. We knew what our yardstick was.

So that will continue. I think Berkshire is, better, situated, then it’s ever been except for the fact that size is a drag on performance. I probably wrote that 40 years, I wrote it actually when I closed the partnership to new money when we had like $40 million in it. I said that really the new, the additional capital would drag down returns from a $40 million base so you can imagine how I feel with $368 billion base of capital in Berkshire now. But, this culture is special, it can work, it won’t be the highest compounder by a long shot against many other businesses. I think it’ll be one of the safest ways to make decent money over time butt will depend on the people that follow us.

So, with 2023 heading to a close, we decided to take a look at some promising long term stocks according to analysts. Among these, the top three are Evolus, Inc. (NASDAQ:EOLS), Relay Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:RLAY), and Valneva SE (NASDAQ:VALN).

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:

A few years from now, you’ll wish you’d owned this stock.

AI, Tariffs, Nuclear Power: One Undervalued Stock Connects ALL the Dots (Before It Explodes!)

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

  • It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
  • It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
  • It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

  • The AI infrastructure supercycle
  • The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
  • A surge in U.S. LNG exports
  • And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.

As an investor, you want to be on the side of the winners, and AI is the winning ticket.

The Talent Pool is Overflowing: The world’s brightest minds are flocking to AI.

From computer scientists to mathematicians, the next generation of innovators is pouring its energy into this field.

This influx of talent guarantees a constant stream of groundbreaking ideas and rapid advancements.

By investing in AI, you’re essentially backing the future.

The future is powered by artificial intelligence, and the time to invest is NOW.

Don’t be a spectator in this technological revolution.

Dive into the AI gold rush and watch your portfolio soar alongside the brightest minds of our generation.

This isn’t just about making money – it’s about being part of the future.
