Wall Street Thinks These 5 Stocks Could Be the Next Big Winners
Micron Technology (MU) reported record revenue of $23.9B (+196% YoY) with pricing power from tight supply, while Broadcom (AVGO) saw AI chip revenue jump 106% YoY to $8.4B with custom AI chips growing 140%, and Chevron (CVX) benefits from crude oil trading above $105 per barrel with production up 12% YoY following the Hess acquisition.
Geopolitical tensions driving oil prices higher are boosting energy stocks, while AI semiconductor demand and tight chip supply are reshaping the tech sector.
The ongoing global turmoil and end of the earnings season have brought the market to a mixed trajectory. Investors are concerned about the global disruptions and their impact on stocks, while the earnings season brought worries about the growing corporate spending on artificial intelligence.
Oil prices are hitting new highs, there are inflationary pressures, and investors are moving cautiously. However, the experts at Wall Street think there are a few stocks that could be the next big winners. Their expertise and in-depth analysis have helped them identify five stocks that could make it big in the coming years. Let’s take a look at them.
A strong player in the tech industry, Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) reported stellar earnings and impressed the market. It has reignited a bullish sentiment on Wall Street, and analysts have raised their price targets.
Growing demand, short supply, and expanding margins have allowed Micron Technology to report impressive numbers. It has become a hot stock today with analysts setting a high price target. The optimism is driven by the financial results.
The revenue soared 196% year over year to $23.9 billion, and it was the company’s fourth consecutive quarter record of revenue surge. Due to the tight industry supply, the company enjoys pricing power and has benefitted from it. The demand-supply imbalance could persist, and the company has an aggressive spending plan to meet the demand.
Barclays has an average price target of $675, and the analyst believes the stock could see a 60% upside from the current level. Further, KeyBanc has a price target of $600 with an overweight rating, while JP Morgan has a price target of $550 and an overweight rating. Wells Fargo has a price target of $470, and TD Cowen has a price target of $550 with a buy rating.
MU stock has gained 34% this year and is exchanging hands for $422.88. It has a dividend yield of 0.11%.
Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) is another tech stock Wall Street is highly confident on. It is one of the top tech stocks and biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom. The company is expanding its position in the AI market and is expected to achieve more than $100 million in AI chip sales in the coming years.
Broadcom is partnering with several hyperscalers to design custom AI chips. Its AI semiconductor revenue in the first quarter was up 106% year over year to $8.4 billion, and the custom AI chips division saw a 140% jump in the quarter.
The optimism surrounding the stock has led to analysts raising their price target. Citi has a price target of $415 and a buy rating. The analyst has highlighted the strong AI demand, which could keep driving sales in the coming months.
Citi has also named Broadcom as one of its top picks in the tech industry. JP Morgan has a buy rating on the stock with a price target of $475, while TD Cowen has a buy rating with a price target of $450. JP Morgan analysts pointed out that the company could benefit from the strong business momentum and has strong guidance for the quarter.
Exchanging hands for $310, the stock has lost 10% value this year.

Oil and gas giant Chevron (NYSE:CVX) has gained the top spot today, driven by the ongoing geopolitical tensions. The stock has made its biggest moves and is exchanging hands for $200. It has gained 28.8% in 2026 and is on its way higher. An ideal stock with soaring oil prices, Chevron is trading at a premium today but is a great long-term buy.
An integrated oil major, Chevron will benefit from the soaring oil prices. As crude oil trades above $105 per barrel, the energy sector will keep thriving. Warren Buffett’s favorite stock, Chevron, is also a dividend king with a yield of 3.55%. 2025 was balanced for the company, and it produced 3.7 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, up 12% year over year. The Hess acquisition has put the company in a very strong position today, and it could see an exceptional 2026.
Wall Street is bullish on the stock and has raised the price target. Bernstein has raised the price target of the stock to $216 with a market perform rating, while HSBC has a buy rating with a price target of $215. Mizuho has an outperform rating with a price target of $217. Besides the capital appreciation, the stock could be a good income source for long-term investors.

Energy company NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE) operates as one of the largest utility companies in the United States. It is also the world’s largest renewable energy business and has tremendous growth opportunities, driven by the soaring electricity demand. An excellent long-term business, data centers and electrification of the grid will lead to a rapid increase in energy demand, driving business higher.
Morgan Stanley has a price target of $104 with an overweight rating, while UBS has set a price target of $104 with a buy rating. The firm believes that the market conditions remain favorable for the company to deliver solutions for large load customers. Power demand remains strong, and it is going to grow in the coming years, setting NEE up for success.
The firm’s ability to secure new contracts shows its strength in the industry. Erste Group is also bullish on the stock, expecting the company to benefit from rising electricity demand.
NextEra Energy is expanding its renewable energy portfolio and expects to build additional renewable energy capacity in the near term. NEE has gained 11.9% in 2026 and is exchanging hands for $90. It is also a dividend stock with a yield of 2.75% and has increased the annual payout for three decades.
Another energy company, Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:EPD), operates in the midstream and ensures that oil and natural gas move around the world. The company earns a fee for the use of its assets and ensures that the business steadily runs irrespective of the movement in the commodity pricing.
A large-cap energy stock, Enterprise Products Partners has a strong balance sheet and has paid dividends for 27 years. The current oil crises could help Enterprise Products Partners if there’s a rise in demand for oil and natural gas in the U.S.
Morgan Stanley has raised the price target to $38 with a buy rating. Scotiabank has a price target of $39 with a sector perform rating, while JP Morgan has a price target of $39 with a neutral rating.
