Share tips 2026: top stock picks of the week

Three stocks to buy

1. Danaher (NYSE: DHR)
Barron's
Danaher produces medical and scientific tools, including Covid tests. The US conglomerate’s stock has barely moved for three years owing to reduced demand for diagnostics and ever-changing US trade policies. Yet this year the shares could generate “healthy” returns. Finalised tariff rules will prompt drugmakers to invest in research and development (R&D) again; there is optimism over demand for monoclonal antibodies; and the firm could resume dealmaking given a strong financial position. “It’s cheaper to bet on Danaher now than it has been in... years.” $240

2. Marks & Spencer (LSE: MKS)
This is Money
Last year was an “annus horribilis” for Marks & Spencer (M&S) owing to a cyberattack that cost it “almost every penny of profit” for the first half as online sales were crippled and supply chains disrupted. Before the attack, M&S had been “flying high”, but last year rival Next “forged ahead”. If M&S can prove that it can emulate Next, then this year the shares could recover and close the valuation gap with Next, despite weak consumer confidence in the UK. 368p

3. MicroSalt (LSE: SALT)
Investors’ Chronicle
MicroSalt, which commercialises a patented technology producing full-flavour low-sodium salt, exceeded last year’s revenue expectations and is set to break even this year thanks to orders from a large food and drink manufacturer. The same customer should bolster next year too, while MicroSalt is also working with two other large customers. Operational leverage means MicroSalt could be “highly profitable” next year if it can double sales to $15 million. Investors could double their money over the next two years if MicroSalt is acquired. 50p

One stock to sell

1. Amedeo Air Four Plus (LSE: AA4)
Investors’ Chronicle
Aircraft-leasing fund Amedeo Air Four Plus is “playing a waiting game” with Emirates, which is upgrading its Airbus A380 fleet amid problems with delivery at Airbus and Boeing. It is considering buying the six Airbus A380s it leases from Amedeo when their leases expire instead of returning them. The leases have various expiration dates up to 2028. This decision affects Amedeo’s shareholders, as quarterly dividends depend on rental income from Emirates. The discounted value of dividends is 15p per share over the next 30 months. It may be “sensible” to crystallise the return and “take profits”. 60p

Two stocks to hold

1. Uber Technologies (LON: 0A1U)
Barron's
Uber Technologies’ stock has risen 20% since March 2025, underperforming the S&P 500, owing to concerns over investments in autonomous vehicles (AV) affecting profit margins. Capital expenditure exceeded expectations in the latest quarter, and analysts lowered their earnings per share forecasts for this year by 4% as costs rose. However, “investors should stay the course”. Uber’s AV initiatives could boost future profitability, especially in underserved areas. The core food-delivery and ride-hailing businesses, meanwhile, continue to expand. Hold ($83).

2. Jubilee Metals (LSE: JLP)
Investors’ Chronicle
Jubilee Metals has sold its South African chrome and platinum operations for $25 million. The miner will also receive deferred payments of $50 million and royalty payments of $15 million. The funds should lower net debt and help expand copper operations in Zambia, where production rose 65% in the first quarter. Although annual revenue has fallen 18%, increasing overall production and higher copper prices should generate profit. The copper operations could be making a cash profit of over £30 million by 2028. The shares are trading 40% below book value: a “buying opportunity” (4p).
