Share tips 2026: top stock picks of the week

Four stocks to buy

1. Canadian Pacific Kansas City (TSE: CP)
Barron's
After years of disappointment, Canadian Pacific Kansas City's (CP) shares are poised to rise. Synergies from mergers, a rebound in rail traffic, and a healthier industrial economy all bode well. As one of the Big Six railroads in North America, CP operates a network across Canada, the US Midwest, and Mexico. In the age of AI, railway firms such as CP are viewed as resilient “heavy-asset, low-obsolescence” businesses immune to technological disruption. The renegotiation of the US-Canada-Mexico trade pact is a risk, but analysts expect earnings-per-share (EPS) to grow 9% this year, driven by revenue growth and margin expansion. C$112

2. Venture Life Group (LSE: VLG)
Investors' Chronicle
Venture Life Group, a developer of self-care products, is becoming a pure-play consumer-healthcare platform focused on healthy-living brands. It has bought several labels, sold lower-margin operations and eliminated debts, creating a strong cash position. Sales rose 11.4% to £35.2 million in 2025 thanks to higher sales volumes and revenue from power brands such as Balance Activ, Health & Her and Health & Him. Despite adjusted cash profit slipping to £6 million amid to higher costs, there could be “chunky” earnings upgrades from new potential acquisitions. 66p

3. Anpario (LSE: ANP)
Investors' Chronicle
Anpario, a maker of natural feed additives, raised its earnings guidance in January, a fourth upgrade in a year. Its strong performance is thanks to the full-year contribution from an acquisition and higher sales growth in Asia and the Americas. The Middle East war could hamper demand and supply chains, but trading this year has started well. The recent sell-off in the shares is a “buying opportunity”. 477p

4. Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT)
Barron's
The US mortgage firm has gained market share despite a backdrop of high interest rates and economic uncertainty. Its digital-first approach and AI automation saw it manage 5.5% of home-purchase loans last year, up from 3.8% in 2024. It plans to expand refinancing activity too by 2027. Full-year adjusted sales doubled to $2.4 billion and earnings increased. Higher interest rates could pose a risk, but profit growth is expected to quicken. The recent dip in the stock is a buying opportunity. $15

Two stocks to consider

1. Lennar (NYSE: LEN)
Barron's
US housebuilder Lennar is trading at a discount. First-quarter adjusted earnings fell 60%, and its Class-A shares have dropped 25% over the past year to $86, while its lightly traded supervoting Class-B shares (a cheaper play) are at $83 due to a struggling US housing market. But the stock market is underselling Lennar, which has a strong balance sheet and potential for profit growth. The firm is streamlining home-building construction, while housing shortages and demographics could boost earnings and the stock. Berkshire Hathaway owns a 3% stake. Buy.

2. Princes Group (LSE: PRN)
Investors' Chronicle
Tinned-tuna maker Princes Group moved from a £6 million loss in 2024 to a £55 million pre-tax profit last year. This was thanks to a restructuring, its acquisition by Newlat, and its flotation. Revenue rose 46% to £1.9 billion, and the company cut debt. However, there are concerns about pressure on supply chains owing to the Middle East conflict, with Princes planning to offset higher costs via price hikes, while its shares are trading 18% below the listing price. Its turnaround is “impressive”, but with inflation and geopolitics in play, “there are easier entry points elsewhere for now”. Hold (378p).
