5. Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft (NYSE:DB)

Upside Potential as of April 20: 21.93% 

Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft (NYSE:DB) provides financial services to companies, governments, institutional investors, small and medium-sized businesses, and private individuals.

On April 20, Barclays downgraded Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft (NYSE:DB) from ‘Overweight’ to ‘Equal Weight’, while assigning the stock a price target of €32. The target reflects an upside of almost 15% from the current price levels.

The downgrade comes as Barclays revised its ratings in the European bank group, noting better risk/reward prospects for some and weakening cyclical tailwinds for others, given the slower-than-expected recovery in Germany.

Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft (NYSE:DB) is projecting its net interest income to surge to around €14 billion in 2026, up from €13.7B last year, driven by the targeted portfolio growth in deposits and loans. Moreover, the company is targeting a full-year revenue of approximately €33 billion, compared to €32.1 billion last year. However, the bank expects its Q1 2026 revenue to be flat compared to the same period last year, due to the “normalization of Corporate & Other revenue and against a strong FIC performance in the year-ago quarter”.

4. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM)

Upside Potential as of April 20: 22.87% 

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) manufactures, packages, tests, and sells integrated circuits and other semiconductor devices around the world.

On April 16, Needham upped its price target on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) from $410 to $480, while maintaining a ‘Buy’ rating on the shares. The revised target represents an upside of almost 24% from the current price levels.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) reported strong results for its Q1 2026 on April 16, beating forecasts in both earnings and revenue, supported by the strong demand for its leading-edge process technologies. The company reported a revenue of $35.9 billion, up 40.6% YoY, while its net income attributable to shareholders also grew by 58.3% compared to last year.

TSM expects its Q2 revenue to be in the range of $39 billion and $40.2 billion, representing a sequential increase of 10% and a YoY growth of 32% at the midpoint. The company also raised its full-year 2026 revenue growth forecast to above 30% from nearly 30% previously.

3. BioNTech SE (NASDAQ:BNTX)

Upside Potential as of April 20: 27.29% 

BioNTech SE (NASDAQ:BNTX) is a global biopharmaceutical company pioneering novel investigative therapies for cancer and infectious diseases.

On April 13, BofA raised its price target on BioNTech SE (NASDAQ:BNTX) from $128 to $130, while maintaining a ‘Buy’ rating on the shares. The revised target indicates an upside of almost 20% from the current price levels.

The move comes after BioNTech SE (NASDAQ:BNTX) reported positive Phase 2 results for T-Pam in second-line and later HER2-expressing endometrial cancer. The analyst firm found these results encouraging and noted that they support a potential first approval within BioNTech’s expanding oncology pipeline.

BioNTech SE (NASDAQ:BNTX) is targeting total revenues in the range of €2 billion to €2.3 billion for FY 2026, down from €2.9 billion in 2025. The company expects lower revenue from the COVID-19 vaccine it developed in partnership with Pfizer, driven by declines in both the European and United States markets. Moreover, the YoY decline comes from a lack of expected one-time revenues, such as payments from Pfizer’s opt-out of the shingles program last year.

2. Sony Group Corporation (NYSE:SONY)

Upside Potential as of April 20: 41.34% 

Sony Group Corporation (NYSE:SONY) designs, develops, produces, and sells electronic equipment, instruments, and devices for the consumer, professional, and industrial markets around the world.

On April 14, TD Cowen trimmed its price target on Sony Group Corporation (NYSE:SONY) from $34 to $29, while maintaining a ‘Buy’ rating on the shares. The lowered target still indicates an upside of over 39% from the current levels.

Sony Group Corporation (NYSE:SONY) raised the price of its PS5 by $100 last month to help offset the unprecedented surge in memory prices amid the AI boom. However, the analyst firm believes that the impact of this price hike should be “pretty minimal” this deep into the console cycle. TD Cowen added that the soaring memory costs might pose a bigger challenge for the Japanese conglomerate’s image sensor business, as the rising smartphone prices could reduce the overall unit volumes.

Sony Group Corporation (NYSE:SONY) was also recently included in our list of the 7 Best Strong Buy Asian Stocks to Invest in.

1. SAP SE (NYSE:SAP)

Upside Potential as of April 20: 50.89% 

Topping our list of the Best Global Stocks is SAP SE (NYSE:SAP). As a global leader in enterprise applications and business AI, the company stands at the nexus of business and technology.

On April 15, Morgan Stanley lowered its price target on SAP SE (NYSE:SAP) from €220 to €190, but maintained its ‘Overweight’ rating on the shares. The revised target still represents an upside potential of almost 27% from the current share price.

Subsequently, on April 20, the analysts over at Barclays also turned slightly bearish on SAP SE (NYSE:SAP), trimming the firm’s price target on the stock from $283 to $256 (read more details here).

That said, SAP SE (NYSE:SAP) expects to generate a record free cash flow of €10 billion in 2026 amid the rising AI-driven cloud momentum. Moreover, the strong outlook reflects the company’s sustained operating discipline, driving its expense-to-revenue growth ratio towards the lower end of its long-term operating leverage objective of 80% to 90%.

Vulcan Value Partners, an investment management company, stated the following regarding SAP SE (NYSE:SAP) in its Q1 2026 investor letter:

“We purchased two new positions during the quarter: SAP SE and ServiceNow, Inc. SAP SE (NYSE:SAP) is the global leader in enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, which serves as the operating system for many of the world’s largest companies. SAP’s software manages many functions across an organization, including financial accounting, supply chains, customer relationships, human capital, and procurement. SAP and Oracle dominate the global ERP market. We have owned both businesses in the past and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to own SAP again with a substantial margin of safety.

We believe SAP is one of the best businesses in the world. They have over 425,000 customers, including 98 of the 100 largest companies globally. SAP’s ERP solutions often have decades of embedded data, business processes, and software customizations. It is extremely rare for companies to switch ERP vendors due to the cost, time, and disruption risk that switching creates, particularly for large, global enterprises that make up SAP’s core customer base…” (Click here to read the full text)

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.

The best part? You can discover everything about this company and its groundbreaking technology right now.

I’ve compiled everything you need to know about this groundbreaking company in a detailed, members-only report.

My name is Inan Dogan. I’m the co-founder and Research Director of Insider Monkey. I have an important message for you today.

Since March 2017, my stock picks have returned 16.5% annually. Today, I’ve found an opportunity even bigger than my British American Tobacco call.

Two years ago, Wall Street wrote off British American Tobacco (BTI) as a “melting ice cube.” The stock had crashed 40% from its peak, and consensus said the business was dying.

We looked under the cover and realized they were wrong.

We alerted our subscribers, and BTI returned 90% in just 16 months.

Now if you had invested just $10,000 in BTI in June 2024, you’d be sitting on $19,000 in October 2025.

Today, we have identified a nearly identical pattern in a digital-first giant trading at $3.

While the market panics over a surface-level revenue decline, our PhD-led research shows management has actually surgically cut $100 million in waste to focus on high-margin growth.

This pattern is a hallmark of our 16.5% annual return track record. The current opportunity offers a 400% upside potential—dwarfing even our 90% BTI return.

Get the ticker for our new “Underdog” pick and the full BTI case study for just 99 cents.
