10 Unrivaled Stocks to Buy for the Next Decade

8. Visa (NYSE:V)

Market Cap: $777.33 billion

Average Upside Potential: 9%

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 194

Visa’s net revenue rose 15% to $45.9 billion in fiscal 2026, and management expects low-double-digit growth in the year ahead. The company runs the world’s largest card network and collects a small fee as payments move between merchants, banks and consumers. Its moat is the network itself. Merchants accept the card because consumers carry it, and consumers carry it because merchants accept it.

TD Cowen analyst Bryan Bergin kept a Buy rating and raised his price target to $450 on October 28. He called fiscal 2026 a banner year, with strength in core payments, commercial and money-movement products and value-added services. He expects value-added services to keep growing above 20% as Visa builds stablecoin settlement and what he calls an agentic future. Payments volume kept growing in the fiscal fourth quarter, and management raised the dividend.

The drag is what Visa pays its customers. Incentives to banks and merchants keep rising, which cuts into the revenue the network keeps, and higher renewal activity ahead could reset those terms. We put that question to Visa’s valuation in Visa (V): Are Bigger Client Rebates Worth the Valuation?

7. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)

Market Cap: $3.99 trillion

Average Upside Potential: 19%

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 273

Azure grew 48% last quarter, up from 42% the quarter before, which shows Microsoft’s cloud business is still speeding up. Commercial remaining performance obligations rose 73% to $677 billion, so much of the coming demand is already under contract.

The question is what it costs to serve that demand. Griffin Securities downgraded the stock to Neutral from Buy on October 29, a day after the quarterly report, reportedly because heavy capital spending and a debt-funded AI buildout are weighing on cloud gross margins. Spending on data centers keeps climbing, and free cash flow fell by more than a quarter in the latest period as leases and construction costs added up. Investors are asking whether AI revenue will turn into enough profit.

Microsoft sells Windows, Office and the Azure cloud, and its moat is how deeply businesses build their daily work around all three. Leaving is expensive and disruptive. Supporters see the spending as chasing orders already signed. Whether profit can grow before costs catch up is the question in Microsoft (MSFT) Built a $100B Azure. Can It Outrun Its Own Spending?

6. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM)

Market Cap: $2.15 trillion

Average Upside Potential: 33%

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 249

Bernstein analyst Mark Li raised his price target on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing to $600 on November 4 and kept an Outperform rating. He points to growing demand for custom CPUs that Amazon and Google design for their own use, and to the 2-nanometer process as a central growth driver. Agent-style AI workloads are speeding up CPU demand, he argues, even as PC and low-end smartphone demand has come in softer.

TSMC builds chips for other companies, and its moat is manufacturing know-how that no competitor has matched at scale. Chips at 7-nanometer and smaller sizes made up 79% of wafer revenue last quarter. Revenue grew 41.2% and landed above the top of the company’s guidance, and management is spending $60 billion to $64 billion this year to keep the lead.

The risks are structural. Nearly all of the most advanced production sits in Taiwan, and a handful of large customers account for much of the demand. Our look at whether the valuation can absorb that is in TSMC’s Profit Soars 69%, but Can its Next Chip Breakthrough Justify the Valuation?

5. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL)

Market Cap: $3.54 trillion

Average Upside Potential: 35%

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 275

Google Cloud revenue more than doubled last quarter, rising 103% to $30.7 billion, and the unit earned $11.1 billion in operating income. Supporters see Cloud, the Gemini AI models and the company’s own TPU chips, a new generation of which arrived this week, as several ways to make money from AI at once.

The stock still fell sharply after the report. Capital spending is soaring, free cash flow turned negative, and investors worry that AI answers will erode Search. BNP Paribas analyst Nick Jones kept an Outperform rating but cut his price target to $410 on October 29, citing Search trends and margin pressure as spending rises. Search itself still grew in the quarter, which eases that fear somewhat.

Alphabet also owns YouTube, Android and the Waymo robotaxi service, but its moat is the reach of Search and the data and distribution that come with it. Management has said spending will climb again next year, so the debate is whether Cloud can grow into the bill. Waymo’s value is a separate question, and we asked it in Alphabet (GOOGL): Does Its Valuation Account for Waymo’s Potential?
