Share tips 2026: top stock picks of the week

Three stocks to buy

1. Walmart (NASDAQ: WMT)
Barron's
Walmart’s shares slipped after the supermarket giant’s latest earnings report as investors focused on slowing comparable sales caused by tariff-related drug pricing pressures and sticky inflation hurting consumers. Yet the underlying picture remains encouraging. In the past few years, same-store sales have risen at a “blistering pace”, and it has raised its earnings guidance for 2027. It remains the best “bricks-and-mortar” retailer in the market and has held its own in the age of e-commerce. Non-core divisions such as advertising are growing healthily. The group also performs well in downturns. $110

2. Ashtead Technology (LSE: AT.)
Investors’ Chronicle
The subsea-equipment rental provider saw its shares slide in late August as management revised profit estimates down 15%, citing project delays caused by conflicts in the Middle East. Though the group’s performance is tied to geopolitical risk, it’s important to bear in mind its underlying growth potential. The market for subsea equipment and technology is fragmented, which has encouraged the group to grow through mergers and acquisitions, and revenues are secured through contracts with some of the world’s largest offshore energy firms. Many of these firms are becoming more asset-light thanks to volatility in oil and gas markets, opting to hire equipment instead of buying it, which presents growth opportunities. The stock’s price-to-sales ratio is on a discount to the sector’s. 339p

3. Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC)
Investors’ Chronicle
A post-Covid dip appears to be ending for the US boating group, which sells a range of boats and related electronic equipment – most of its sales stem from its Mercury outboard motors. Sales have stabilised amid the acquisition of the subscription-based Freedom Boat Club, while buoyant trading at Brunswick’s marine technology arm Navico has helped ensure that recurring revenue now comprises 60% of overall profits. Markets are beginning to notice Brunswick’s increasingly sustainable growth, and the stock valuation remains reasonable. $70
