Share tips 2026: top stock picks of the week
Five stocks to buy
1. Reddit (NYSE: RDDT)
Barron's
Google pays Reddit $60 million annually to train its AI models using conversations from the US social-media firm’s 100,000 communities. Talks about renewing the contract between them could “make or break” Reddit’s stock, which has slid 40% this year. Reddit has leverage because AI technology needs more human content to improve. Yet those same AI models also threaten to divert search traffic away from Reddit, affecting its advertising revenue. Analysts think deals with Google and OpenAI could generate a combined $550 million annually, boosting Reddit’s profitability and AI content licensing opportunities. $151
2. Rightmove (LSE: RMV)
Investors’ Chronicle
Rightmove has shifted from a growth stock to an income stock, with the property website intending to repurchase £330 million of shares and offer £70 million in dividends. That adds up to a 12% total shareholder yield. This strategy will involve taking on £200 million in debt, but the firm is currently debt-free. It has downgraded full-year sales projections amid a tough housing market and a low number of new home developments. But estate agents are buying more of Rightmove’s products to encourage demand from cautious consumers. The stock is “too cheap”. 474p
3. Standard Chartered (LSE: STAN)
Investors’ Chronicle
Standard Chartered has produced strong second-quarter net profits, launched a $1 billion buyback, and hiked its interim dividend by 66%. Earnings per share rose 17%, and the bank upgraded full-year income guidance. The wealth management and investment products divisions saw strong growth; the balance sheet is “decent”. The share price looks “undercooked” relative to peers, considering income growth relative to expenses. 2,195p
4. Remitly Global (NASDAQ: RELY)
Barron's
US cross-border payment provider Remitly Global has more than ten million active customers and is attractive owing to its international expansion and surging profitability. Second-quarter revenue rose 20%. Its free cash flow climbed 83% to $202 million thanks to improved efficiency driven by AI. Analysts think Remitly is poised to capture a larger market share by 2030 as it offers more financial products, targets higher-value customers, and enters the business-to-business market. Although Remitly faces increased competition and potential regulatory changes, it has raised 2026 earnings guidance and secured an operating licence in the UAE. Buy ($25).
5. Nichols (LSE: NICL)
Investors’ Chronicle
Vimto-maker Nichols hiked its interim dividend 35% thanks to a strong first-half performance, with top-line growth across markets and higher cash flow. Revenue in Africa rose 17% to £16.1 million due to strong demand and after the drinks company localised production. Revenue at the UK packaged business grew 2% to £48.1 million, while sales in the Middle East rose 6% after Ramadan boosted trading. The division that sells to pubs and restaurants saw sales grow 2% to £19.3 million. Full-year adjusted pre-tax profit is expected to rise to £35.1 million in line with expectations. Nichols’ “derating is an opportunity”. Buy (1,040p).
One stock to sell
4. Mobico (LSE: MCG)
Investors' Chronicle
Transport group Mobico, the owner of the National Express bus brand, reported a 6% rise in revenue and an 18% increase in adjusted operating profit in its latest results. However, adjustments turned an adjusted pre-tax profit of £136 million into a reported loss of £89.2 million owing to various charges, constraining the firm’s ability to cut its £1.1 billion of net debt. Recent trading in the UK coach and bus arms has been weak, raising concerns about cash generation. Mobico raised its fiscal 2026 projections, for adjusted profit, but expects only a small reduction in debt. “Until this changes”, there’s “little value” in the shares. 25p
