Share tips 2026: top stock picks of the week

Five stocks to buy

1. Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL)
Investors’ Chronicle
Some fear Apple is lagging in the AI race because it isn’t investing as heavily as rivals. Yet the iPhone17 and related services helped Apple exceed quarterly sales expectations, with a 17% increase to $111 billion in the first three months of 2026. Sales of the iPhone grew 22% to $57 billion. Apple is also protected from rising memory-chip prices, having purchased many in advance. Revenue from services rose 16% to $3 billion, boosting the gross margin. Apple’s focus on free cash flow makes its stock the “best value” in US Big Tech. 293p

2. Mercado Libre (NASDAQ: MELI)
Barron’s
Mercado Libre is a US-listed Latin American e-commerce and fintech platform with a strong presence in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina. It serves 650 million people. Mercado Libre is lowering thresholds for free shipping, boosting marketing and offering more credit cards. It aims to expand its services to the unbanked and underbanked. A recent drop in the stock due to broader economic concerns and increased competition is a buying opportunity. $1,870

3. Naked Wines (LSE: WINE)
Investors’ Chronicle
Online wine retailer Naked Wines expects full-year underlying cash profit to reach its top range of £5.5 million - £7.5 million, driven by price hikes. It is bolstering profitability by reducing stock levels and improving cash generation. The company has achieved £25 million in cost savings and plans to shift to a third-party digital platform, which should save an additional £5m annually. 73p

4. GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE)
Barron’s
GE Aerospace’s stock has been “unfairly punished” since its unexpectedly good first-quarter earnings report in April. The US aircraft-engine supplier revised down its air-travel growth forecasts amid concerns about oil prices and demand for travel due to the Iran war and saw its shares fall 11%. However, GE Aerospace has strong growth prospects as air travel continues to grow; it also holds a backlog of orders worth $210 billion, and its defence division is growing. Furthermore, it has improved efficiency, with profit margins on the rise. The stock is a favourite on Wall Street, having topped analysts’ expectations for 14 consecutive quarters. $301

5. Pebble Beach Systems (LSE: PEB)
Investors’ Chronicle
Software company Pebble Beach Systems specialises in automating and managing content for broadcasting and streaming platforms. The firm raised its earnings guidance in January, yet still beat estimates for 2025 by a big margin thanks to lower charges and interest costs. Growth in higher-margin recurring revenue boosted profitability; the company also cut net debt significantly. New project bookings rose, along with ongoing support orders. 21p

One stock to sell

1. Evoke (LSE: EVOK)
Investors’ Chronicle
The government has dealt a blow to the gambling industry, doubling remote-gaming duty and increasing general betting tax to 25% next year. Gambling group Evoke, which generates 40% of sales in Britain, is closing 270 William Hill branches to protect margins and absorb an annual £135 million tax hit. It reported a net loss of £549 million last year due to a £440 million impairment charge from UK tax changes. Despite this, revenue rose 2% to £1.8 billion and adjusted earnings 14% to £356 million. Evoke is in talks with Bally’s Intralot for a £225 million takeover. If unsuccessful, Evoke faces challenges managing its large debts with a weakened UK business. 35p
