Americold (COLD) Soars 15.7% on Upbeat 2026 Outlook, CFO Appointment

We recently published 10 Firms Outperform Wall Street With Surprising Gains. Americold Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE:COLD) was one of the best performers on Thursday.

Americold bounced back by 15.75 percent on Thursday to finish at $13.89 apiece as investor sentiment was boosted by the company’s upbeat outlook for 2026 despite weak earnings performance last year, supported by the recent appointment of its new chief finance officer (CFO).

“Entering 2026, we have developed a list of key priorities that are designed to position Americold for long-term future growth. These include taking disciplined steps to strengthen our balance sheet, enhance the profitability of our global real estate portfolio, and focus our capital on customer-driven development opportunities. At the same time, we are expanding our presence in high-value retail and store-support solutions, while broadening our commercial aperture to pursue opportunities in new and adjacent sectors,” Americold Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE:COLD) CEO Rob Chambers said.

“With the upcoming addition of Chris Papa as our Chief Financial Officer, we are further bolstering our capabilities as we advance this next phase of our strategy,” he noted.

Last month, Americold Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE:COLD) named Papa as its new CFO effective on Monday, February 23. He will replace Jay Wells, who has already departed the company.

The leadership changes followed Americold Realty Trust Inc.’s (NYSE:COLD) disappointing earnings performance last year, with attributable net loss jumping by 21 percent to $114 million from $94 million in 2024. Total revenues also finished flat at $2.6 billion.

While we acknowledge the risk and potential of COLD as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than COLD and that has 10,000% upside potential, check out our report about this cheapest AI stock.

Undervalued AI Stock Poised for Massive Gains: 10,000% Upside

AI game is changing.

The chip guys, like Nvidia, they had their moment. The first AI wave? They rode it high.

But guess what? That ride’s over. Nvidia’s been flatlining since October 2025.

Remember the internet boom? Everyone thought Cisco and Intel were the kings, right? Wrong. The real money was made by the companies that actually used the internet to build something new: e-commerce, search engines, social media.

And it’s the same deal with AI. NVDA? They’re yesterday’s news. The real winners? They’re the robotics companies, the ones building the robots we only dreamed about before.

We’re talking AI 2.0. The first wave was about the chips, this one’s about the robots. Robots that can do your chores, robots that can work in factories, robots that will change everything. Labor shortages? Gone. Industries revolutionized? You bet.

This isn’t some far-off fantasy, it’s happening right now. And there’s one company, a robotics company, that’s leading the charge. They’ve got the cutting-edge tech, they’re ahead of the curve, and they’re dirt cheap right now. We’re talking potential 100x returns in the next few years. You snooze, you lose.

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.
