Share tips 2026: top stock picks of the week
1. Carpenter Technology (NYSE: CRS)
Barron's
Carpenter Technology makes specialised alloys for the aerospace, defence, medical and consumer sectors. The US company's adjusted earnings per share rose 47% to a new record in the latest quarter on a 12% rise in sales to $812 million, thanks to rising demand for the group's products. Carpenter has raised its full-year guidance, anticipating a 33% increase in operating income and a 22% jump in free cash flow owing to lower expenditure. Oil shocks or political instability are potential headwinds, but Carpenter's excellent free cash flow-generation, reputation and pricing power should bolster its valuation. $462
2. Investec (LSE: INVP)
Investors' Chronicle
The Anglo-South African financial-services group has reported a rise in annual profits and dividends, and expects to deliver returns at the top end of its expectations by 2030. Full-year adjusted operating profit increased 4% to almost £1.1 billion. Net core loans rose 10% to £35.5 billion, thanks to strong growth in lending. Investec plans to change from being a specialist lender into a “full-service primary bank” (a one-stop shop) in the UK. It expects to add 5,000 new clients and generate £25 million in additional profit. 13,879p
3. Young & Co's Brewery (LSE: YNGA)
Investors’ Chronicle
Young & Co's Brewery had a record year to 30 March 2026, with sales surpassing £500 million for the first time. The pub operator's statutory pre-tax profit more than doubled to £41 million thanks to a property revaluation. Sales of drink rose 5.3%, leading to adjusted earnings of £144 million. Young's 14% operating margins are “sector-leading” despite rising costs. Sales in the new financial year have increased 3.4% after the purchase of eight pubs and are expected to be boosted by the football World Cup and the rugby Nations Championship. The shares are currently valued below historic levels. 792p
