November. Since then, the stock is<strong> down another 12% </strong>as market fear increased due to the war in Iran.</p><p>The business keeps growing, and the valuation has come down. That makes the opportunity even more attractive today &#127919;</p><h4><strong>What Happened?</strong></h4><p>Investors in Meta have been worried about one thing in recent months: <strong>spending. </strong>The company plans to invest heavily, with expected <strong>capex of $115&#8211;135B in 2026</strong>, up from around $72B in 2025. A large part of this is going into <strong>AI infrastructure</strong> like data centers and computing power.</p><p>Investors didn&#8217;t like that. But the impact of those investments is already visible. AI is already improving Meta&#8217;s core business:</p><p>&#127919; <strong>Ad performance is getting stronger</strong><br>+3.5% more clicks, +1%+ conversions, +3% higher conversion rate, and +24% incremental conversions, driven by better AI targeting and ranking. </p><p>&#128200; <strong>Engagement keeps rising</strong><br>+7% views on Facebook and +20% time spent on Threads, powered by AI-driven recommendations.</p><p>&#128176; <strong>AI is already generating revenue</strong><br>$10B run-rate from AI tools, including video generation</p><p>Even Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, said that <strong>no one uses AI better than Meta</strong> &#127909;&#128071;</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;11ad858a-029c-45d1-8617-b458864eb951&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p><em>Source: CNBC Television, Halftime Report </em></p><p>Meta is also cutting costs and reorganizing the company. It plans <strong>major layoffs</strong>, possibly up to around <strong>20% of its workforce. </strong>So while the market is focused on the high level of spending, the results are already there. Meta is investing heavily, and <strong>it&#8217;s starting to pay off.</strong></p><h4><strong>Why Meta looks attractive now</strong></h4><p>Meta Platforms <strong>scores 81 </strong>&#128309; in our <strong><a href="https://www.ftrinvestors.com/p/exclusive-our-fundamental-scoring">Fundamental Scoring Framework</a></strong>, which makes it a high-quality company. </p><p>It&#8217;s founder-led, has a very dominant position in digital advertising, and reaches <strong>3.48 billion daily users</strong> across its platforms. The company delivers strong financials and still has strong growth ahead.</p><p>What stands out today is the valuation. Meta trades at a<strong> P/E of 24.4</strong>, with a <strong>forward P/E of just 19.4</strong>.

directions. These are often the <strong>rare moments</strong> long-term investors can <strong>buy great companies at discounted prices.</strong></p><h4><strong>What Happened?</strong></h4><p>On 24 February, MercadoLibre reported its Q4 2025 earnings. The results were strong on the revenue side, with revenue coming in at <strong>$8.76B versus $8.47B expected</strong>, showing that the company continues to grow faster than analysts had projected.</p><p>However, despite the strong revenue performance, the stock still declined after earnings. Earnings per share came in slightly below expectations at <strong>$11.03 versus $11.43 expected</strong>, mainly due to <strong>margin pressure</strong> from continued <strong>heavy investments</strong> in growth initiatives.</p><p>The company is increasing spending on <strong>logistics expansion, credit services, and infrastructure development</strong> to support long-term growth. While this can pressure short-term profitability, we see this as a strong signal that the business is focused on long-term value creation.</p><h4><strong>Why MercadoLibre looks attractive now</strong></h4><p>MercadoLibre scores an <strong>excellent 85</strong> &#128309; <strong>(High-Quality) </strong>in our <strong><a href="https://www.ftrinvestors.com/p/exclusive-our-fundamental-scoring">Fundamental Scoring Framework</a></strong>. It is a high-quality, founder-led company with strong revenue growth and a massive total addressable market (TAM).</p><p>The great thing for long-term investors is that the valuation of this outstanding business has only become more attractive. Today, MercadoLibre trades at a <strong>2026</strong> <strong>forward P/E of 31</strong>, which is close to the <strong>lowest valuation level in the past decade</strong>. The <strong>PEG ratio of 0.98</strong> and a <strong>Price to Free Cash Flow of 8.4</strong> are exceptionally low for a company growing this fast.</p><p>MercadoLibre still has <strong>significant long-term growth potential</strong>. E-commerce, fintech, and digital financial services in Latin America are still early in their adoption cycle. The company is <strong>positioning itself for many more years of growth</strong> by investing heavily in logistics, technology, and financial products. While this can impact <strong>short-term results</strong>, these investments help strengthen the business for the long term &#8212; which we see as a very positive signal of <strong>long-term strategic thinking</strong>.</p><p>In our view, this is a rare opportunity to own <strong>one of the best growth companies in the world</strong> at an <strong>unusually attractive valuation</strong>. Exactly the kind of opportunity long-term investors should look for.</p><p><em>The Future Investors (Vincent &amp; Stefan) currently hold a position in MercadoLibre.</em></p><p><strong>Fundamental score: 85 &#128309; &#8594; High-Quality<br>Current stock price: $1,787.86</strong></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ftrinvestors.com/p/our-live-portfolio&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;View our Portfolios&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://www.ftrinvestors.com/p/our-live-portfolio"><span>View our Portfolios</span></a></p><div><hr></div><p><strong>The next two?</strong> Two high-quality companies trading at very attractive valuations right now.</p><p>&#128176; One of the <strong>highest-margin businesses</strong> in the world.

January&#8239;28,&#8239;2025. Despite this steep decline, we continue to see it as a<strong> fundamentally strong business</strong>.</p><p>It is a leader in <strong>enterprise workflow software</strong>, with recurring revenue and deep AI integration, including <strong>agentic AI</strong> that automates complex IT, HR, and CRM tasks. We see ServiceNow as one of the software companies <strong>best positioned to benefit from AI</strong>.</p><p>For this reason, we have recently initiated <strong>a new position</strong>. The current valuation offers a great opportunity to own a <strong>high-quality software company</strong> at a much more attractive price.</p><h4><strong>What Happened?</strong></h4><p>ServiceNow&#8217;s share price has fallen as part of a <strong>broader sell-off in software stocks</strong>. Investors have been worried that new AI tools could <strong>replace traditional software</strong>, especially those that sell on a <strong>seat&#8209;based subscription model</strong>. </p><p>A key trigger was the launch of <strong>Anthropic&#8217;s Claude Cowork</strong> on January&#8239;12, 2026, a new AI tool that automates tasks like turning screenshots into spreadsheets and drafting reports &#8212; jobs that previously required multiple tools and human work.</p><p>Because of this, many software stocks, including Intuit, Adobe, Salesforce and ServiceNow, fell sharply. The concern is that if AI tools can do more tasks at a lower cost and with fewer licences, companies might eventually buy fewer traditional software subscriptions, which would hurt long&#8209;term revenue growth.</p><p>Even after ServiceNow reported <strong>strong Q4 2025 earnings</strong>, where both revenue and EPS beat expectations and the company <strong>raised its guidance for 2026</strong>, the stock <strong>fell further</strong>. </p><p>We believe this drop is <strong>overdone</strong> because ServiceNow is <strong>actually integrating AI deeply</strong> into its platform. This strengthens its value proposition, which we see as a long&#8209;term advantage rather than a threat.</p><h4><strong>Why Servicenow looks attractive now</strong></h4><p>First of all, ServiceNow scores <strong>81 &#128309; (High-Quality)</strong> in our <strong><a href="https://www.ftrinvestors.com/p/exclusive-our-fundamental-scoring">Fundamental Scoring Framework</a></strong>. We see this as an excellent score and one of the highest among software companies.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

The <strong>Price-to-Free-Cash-Flow (LTM) is 26.7</strong>, the lowest level ever, showing the stock is much more attractively valued than before.</p><p>We believe valuations for ServiceNow have <strong>never looked this appealing</strong>. The current price gives us a chance to own a high-quality company expected to grow <strong>EPS and revenue by around 20% per year over the next three years</strong>.</p><p>On top of that, ServiceNow has announced a <strong>$5 billion share buyback</strong>.

Exactly one year ago, in January 2025, we also highlighted Uber when it was trading around $60 per share. Since then, the stock climbed above $100, but is <strong>now trading around $82</strong>. At this price, we find Uber at least as attractive as a year ago. And fundamentally, <strong>the business has only become stronger.</strong></p><h4><strong>What Happened?</strong></h4><p>This drop in Uber&#8217;s stock price wasn&#8217;t the result of weak performance. <strong>Q3 results were strong:</strong> Uber beat expectations on both revenue and earnings, and even raised its outlook for Q4 gross bookings. The business is still performing very well.</p><p>At the same time, Uber is making real progress in <strong>autonomous driving</strong>. The company is working with partners like <strong>Waymo, WeRide, Pony AI,</strong> and plans a robotaxi trial with <strong>Baidu&#8217;s Apollo Go</strong> in London this year. Still, many investors worry that<strong> Tesla</strong> or <strong>Waymo</strong> could one day replace Uber with their own robotaxi networks.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

Uber already has <strong>the users, the demand, the data, the city relationships, and the platform that people trust</strong>. It doesn&#8217;t need to build the best self-driving technology itself &#8212; it can work with the companies that do. Robotaxis are already available through Uber in cities like <strong>Phoenix, Austin, and Abu Dhabi, </strong>showing that this future is already starting to happen on Uber&#8217;s platform.</p><p>On top of that, Uber still has strong businesses in <strong>delivery</strong> and <strong>freight</strong>, which continue to support the company&#8217;s long-term growth.</p><h4><strong>Why Uber looks attractive now</strong></h4><p>After the recent pullback, Uber looks attractive again at today&#8217;s price levels. The stock trades at a <strong>P/E of 10.6</strong> and a <strong>forward P/E of 23.2</strong>, which looks very reasonable for a company of Uber&#8217;s scale and quality. EPS will be lower this year because of <strong>one-off effects in 2025</strong>, not because the business is weakening.</p><p>Looking ahead, analysts expect around <strong>16% revenue CAGR over the next three years</strong>, showing that Uber is still in growth mode. At the same time, Uber has become a strong cash generator, and with a <strong>Price-to-FCF of about 19.9</strong>, the valuation is attractive relative to its outlook.</p><p>Uber is successfully growing its core business today while also building a <strong>strong strategic position</strong> for the autonomous future. With strong fundamentals and the share price below recent highs, this looks like a good moment to <strong>add Uber to your portfolio or expand your existing position</strong>.</p><p><em>The Future Investors (Vincent &amp; Stefan) currently hold a position in Uber.</em></p><p><strong>Fundamental score: 70 &#128994; &#8594; Quality<br>Current stock price: $82.86</strong></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ftrinvestors.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption"><em><strong>Never miss an update.</strong> Join The Future Investors now and get early access to exclusive insights &#8212; straight to your inbox.</em></p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><div><hr></div><p>The next two?

The easy gains are gone. AI is no longer hype &#8212; it&#8217;s showing up in results &#8212; but investors are<strong> more selective</strong>. Big Tech still matters, but not every stock is rising. With <strong>stretched valuations</strong>, geopolitical uncertainty, and an economy in transition, nobody knows exactly how 2026 will play out. It could be a <strong>challenging year</strong> &#8212; making selectivity more important than ever.</p><p>Markets like this reward <strong>quality.</strong> Instead of chasing hype, this is the time to own <strong>strong businesses</strong> with pricing power, solid fundamentals, and real long-term stories &#8212; companies that can perform even when the headlines turn negative. </p><p

Analysts expect <strong>17.9% revenue growth</strong> next year and <strong>20.3% EPS growth</strong>, which is exceptionally strong for a company of this size. And the best part? The valuation is still attractive: a <strong>P/E of 29.3</strong>, <strong>forward P/E of 21.6</strong>, and a <strong>PEG ratio of 1.35</strong>. That makes Meta the <strong>cheapest company in the Magnificent 7</strong>, which is rare for a business delivering this level of growth and profitability.</p><p>After its Q3 results, the stock dropped around 12%. Not because the business weakened, but due to a large <strong>one-time tax charge</strong> and concerns about <strong>rising investments</strong>. In reality, Meta was still doing great, with record revenue, growing engagement, and strong cash flows. Without that one-off charge, it proved that the core business is still in great shape.</p><p>These higher costs aren&#8217;t wasted money &#8212; they&#8217;re intentional investments in the future. Meta is building large <strong>AI infrastructure</strong>, <strong>new data centers, stronger AI models,</strong> and new products like<strong> AI glasses</strong>. AI is already helping people spend more time on Meta&#8217;s apps, improving recommendations, and strengthening ad performance across Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and Reels. That means it&#8217;s helping results today, while also building the foundation for the years ahead.</p><p>With strong growth expectations, solid fundamentals, a clear AI strategy, and an attractive valuation, we see Meta as a <strong>standout pick for 2026.</strong></p><p><em>The Future Investors (Vincent &amp; Stefan) currently do not hold a position in Meta. </em></p><p><strong>Fundamental

Europe. The company keeps expanding across Poland, adding <strong>320&#8211;330 new stores this year</strong>, bringing the total close to <strong>3,000 locations</strong>. And Dino plans to open <strong>even more stores in 2026 than in 2025</strong>, showing strong confidence in its model. The company is also still <strong>founder-led</strong>: Chairman and majority shareholder <strong>Tomasz Biernacki</strong> remains closely involved &#8212; something many long-term investors value.</p><p>To support this growth, Dino is expanding its logistics network and expects to add around<strong> two new distribution centers per year</strong>, so the store base can continue to grow efficiently.</p><p>Valuation is another reason Dino stands out. The stock trades at a <strong>P/E of 24.9</strong> versus a <strong>10-year average of 35.3</strong>, while its <strong>forward P/E of 18.8</strong> is the lowest of the past decade. Meanwhile, analysts expect <strong>17.5% revenue growth</strong> next year and <strong>26.9% EPS growth</strong> &#8212; numbers you normally see at high-growth tech companies, not a supermarket chain.</p><p>Investors also gain exposure to Poland, <strong>one of the fastest-growing economies in Europe</strong>, with GDP expected to grow roughly <strong>3.2&#8211;3.5% in 2025</strong> and about <strong>3.5% in 2026</strong>. The stock is still about <strong>27% below its all-time high</strong>, which is unusual for Dino, as the share price is normally quite stable. That could make 2026 a very interesting opportunity for investors.</p><p>Dino Polska offers strong growth, disciplined expansion, attractive pricing, founder-led leadership, and exposure to a growing European economy &#8212; and for these reasons, it proudly joins our <strong>Top Picks for 2026.</strong></p><p><em>The Future Investors (Vincent &amp; Stefan) currently do not hold a position in Dino Polska.</em></p><p><strong>Fundamental score: 68 &#128993; &#8594; Reasonable<br>Current stock price: $11.64</strong></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor"

With more than <strong>127 million customers</strong> across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, the company has built the<strong> largest digital banking platform in the world</strong> &#8212; and it&#8217;s still expanding fast. Nubank keeps adding new services like lending, payments, insurance, and investments, rapidly becoming a true financial <strong>&#8220;super-app&#8221;</strong> and increasing the value it generates per customer.</p><p>This isn&#8217;t just growth without discipline. Nu is <strong>profitable</strong>, with improving margins, strong cost efficiency, better credit quality, and effective risk management. While many fintechs struggle to turn scale into profit, Nubank is proving it can do both.</p><p>And the growth story isn&#8217;t limited to Latin America. <strong>Mexico</strong> is accelerating, Colombia is expanding, and Nubank is positioning itself globally. The company has applied for a <strong>U.S. national bank charter</strong>, is exploring a potential legal domicile move to the UK, and is investing in <strong>emerging-market opportunities</strong> such as South Africa and the Philippines. There is still plenty of growth ahead.</p><p>The valuation makes it even more attractive. For 2026, analysts expect <strong>31.8% revenue growth</strong> and <strong>43.8% EPS growth</strong> &#8212; estimates only a few companies in the world can match. Nubank trades at a <strong>forward P/E of 19.5</strong> and a <strong>PEG ratio of just 0.4</strong>, the <strong>lowest</strong> of all our Top Picks. In our Fundamental Framework, Nu scores <strong>83</strong>, putting it in our <strong>High-Quality</strong> category.</p><p>Nu Holdings has what most companies never achieve: massive scale, strong profitability, rapid growth, a huge addressable market, and expansion plans that can significantly widen its reach. It is executing, gaining market share, and building <strong>one of the most powerful consumer finance platforms in the world. </strong>That&#8217;s why &#8212; just like last year &#8212; we are once again including Nu Holdings in our <strong>Top 10 Picks for 2026.</strong></p><p><em>The Future Investors (Vincent &amp; Stefan) currently hold a position in Nu Holdings.</em></p><p><strong>Fundamental score: 83 &#128309; &#8594; High-Quality<br>Current stock price: $16.76</strong></p><div><hr></div><p>You&#8217;ve seen our first three Top Picks for 2026.

We first recommended it in September &#8212; and the stock is now <strong>almost 5% lower</strong>, making it even more attractive today. It also sits about <strong>20% below its 52-week high</strong> from June, giving long-term investors a chance to buy a strong, proven business at a better price.</p><h4><strong>What Happened?</strong></h4><p>Adyen posted <strong>strong Q3 results </strong>on October 29. Revenue came in above expectations at <strong>&#8364;594.5 million</strong> vs &#8364;588.2 million expected &#8212; a solid <strong>+20% increase</strong> compared to last year. Even better, <strong>net revenue from platform clients grew +50%</strong>, showing strong momentum in one of Adyen&#8217;s fastest-growing areas.</p><p>For the year ahead, Adyen expects <strong>net revenue growth in the low to mid-20% range</strong>. And during its <strong>Investor Day </strong>on November 11, the company lifted its long-term margin outlook to an <strong>EBITDA margin above 55% by 2028</strong>, up from the earlier target of 50% by 2026.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

&#8364;17. Later, the price dropped again &#8212; not because of anything negative at Adyen, but because <strong>the wider market has been weaker</strong> over the past month, which pushed tech and growth stocks lower.</p><p>With the company performing well and the price now lower again, this looks like a good moment to buy into this <strong>quality company.</strong></p><h4><strong>Why Adyen looks attractive now?</strong></h4><p>After the pullback this month, Adyen now trades at a <strong>P/E ratio of 42</strong> and a <strong>forward P/E of 33.7</strong>. For context: Adyen has <strong>never</strong> traded below a P/E of 35 in its history (source: GuruFocus). That makes today one of the very few moments in Adyen&#8217;s history where long-term investors can buy this <strong>quality at a significantly lower valuation.</strong></p><p>Adyen also expects to benefit from the ongoing shift toward <strong>digital payments</strong>, a trend that still has many years of growth ahead. The company continues to guide for <strong>around 20% annual revenue growth</strong> &#8212; impressive for a business of this size.</p><p>Its balance sheet is another strength: Adyen generates <strong>strong free cash flow</strong>, holds <strong>very little debt</strong>, and has a long track record of <strong>meeting its own targets</strong>. This combination of growth, profitability and financial stability is exactly what long-term investors look for.</p><p>With the price now lower again, this is a <strong>good moment to add this quality company</strong> to your portfolio &#8212; or to build out an existing position. Do keep in mind that Adyen can be more volatile than the average stock, but for investors with a long horizon, the current setup looks attractive.</p><p><em>The Future Investors (Vincent &amp; Stefan) currently hold a position in Adyen.</em></p><p><strong>Fundamental score: 82 &#128309; &#8594; High-Quality<br>Current stock price: $16.00</strong></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ftrinvestors.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption"><em><strong>Never miss an update.</strong> Join The Future Investors now and get early access to exclusive insights &#8212; straight to your inbox.</em></p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><div><hr></div><p>The next two?

We first recommended it in March, and the stock is back around the same level &#8212; yet <strong>30% below the all-time highs</strong> it reached this summer. A great opportunity to own a quality company at a much better price.</p><h4><strong>What Happened?</strong></h4><p>At the end of July, <strong>Synopsys reached new all-time highs</strong>, helped by the ongoing <strong>AI boom in the chip industry</strong>. Its software plays a key role in <strong>designing the advanced chips</strong> used by Nvidia, AMD, and Intel, placing Synopsys right at the heart of the AI revolution.</p><p>But on September 9, the company reported its <strong>Q3 FY25 results</strong>, and investors weren&#8217;t happy.</p><p>Revenue came in at $1.74B (+14% YoY) and EPS at $3.39, both <strong>below expectations.</strong><br>Synopsys also<strong> lowered its outlook </strong>for Q4 and full-year 2025, expecting slower growth for the rest of the year.</p><p>The weaker results came down to a few things:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Lower demand</strong> in the <strong>IP division</strong>, as chipmakers delayed new projects.</p></li><li><p><strong>Export restrictions to China</strong>, which continue to limit sales.</p></li><li><p><strong>Higher costs</strong> from the <strong>Ansys integration</strong>, putting short-term pressure on margins.</p></li><li><p>A <strong>short pause in chip design spending</strong> after two very strong years.</p></li></ul><p>The stock <strong>fell more than 35% in a single day</strong> &#8212; a rare move for a company of this quality. Despite the drop, Synopsys remains<strong> the clear leader in chip design software</strong>, powering the chips behind AI, data centers, and next-generation computing.<br>With Ansys soon fully integrated, its position will only become stronger.</p><h4><strong>Why Synopsys looks attractive now?</strong></h4><p>We see the recent weak results as <strong>temporary</strong>. Lower demand in the IP division, export restrictions to China, and higher integration costs from Ansys all weighed on performance, but none of these change the bigger picture &#8212; <strong>the long-term thesis is still intact.</strong></p><p>Synopsys remains <strong>at the core of the AI chip race</strong>. Together with Cadence, it forms a <strong>duopoly</strong> in chip design software &#8212; the technology that the world&#8217;s leading chipmakers depend on.  As demand for AI chips and data-center computing keeps rising, Synopsys&#8217;s design tools will only become more important.</p><p>The <strong>Ansys integration</strong> adds extra strength, combining chip design and simulation in one platform. As integration costs fade, this merger will help expand margins, reach more customers, and open new market opportunities.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

The stock trades less than 15% below its all-time high from late May, but we see today as a strong entry point &#8212; both for new investors or for those looking to expand their position.</p><h4><strong>What Happened?</strong></h4><p>In recent days, MercadoLibre&#8217;s share price has come under pressure for a few reasons:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Amazon&#8217;s big push in Brazil</strong> &#8211; Brazil is MercadoLibre&#8217;s largest and fastest-growing market. Amazon announced it would temporarily waive Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) fees &#8212; including inbound, storage, and last mile &#8212; effectively making its marketplace free for many sellers during the holiday season. This raised concerns about tougher competition.</p></li><li><p><strong>Cheaper goods from China</strong> &#8211; Platforms like Temu and Shein are flooding the region with ultra-low-priced products, putting pressure on prices and margins.</p></li><li><p><strong>Currency problems in Argentina</strong> &#8211; The central bank stepped in to support the peso, new FX rules were introduced (including a 90-day limit after buying dollars), and e-wallets &#8212; including Mercado Pago &#8212; were blocked from selling official dollars through their apps. These measures hit MELI&#8217;s fintech arm and created uncertainty around money flows and exchange rates.</p></li></ul><p>Even with these &#8220;headwinds&#8221;, <strong>MercadoLibre is the clear leader in Latin America</strong>. The company keeps investing heavily in logistics, technology, and marketing. In August, it expanded its free shipping program in Brazil, which boosted items sold by 34% year-over-year in June. Looking ahead, MELI plans to <strong>increase investment in Brazil by almost 50% </strong>in 2025 to $5.8 billion, while also <strong>scaling up in Mexico</strong> and rolling out a new B2B wholesale platform across the region.</p><h4><strong>Why MercadoLibre looks attractive now?</strong></h4><p>Despite these challenges, we see the pullback as a great chance to invest in <strong>one of the strongest companies in the world</strong>. MercadoLibre combines its core e-commerce platform, the fast-growing fintech arm Mercado Pago, and new initiatives in logistics, advertising, and B2B &#8212; building an <strong>ecosystem that puts it far ahead of competitors</strong>.</p><p><strong>Growth remains very strong:</strong> revenue is expected to increase by <strong>+36% in 2025</strong> and <strong>+27% in 2026 </strong>(source: Yahoo Finance) &#8212; numbers you rarely see from a company of this size. And from 2026 onward, profits are expected to grow even faster, showing how much potential lies ahead. </p><p>The valuation makes this moment even more attractive. While the current P/E of ~55 looks high, the <strong>forward P/E for 2026 drops to just 34 </strong>(source: GuruFocus), very reasonable for a company in high-growth mode. With a <strong>PEG ratio of 1.2</strong> and trading at only <strong>15x Free Cash Flow </strong>(source: GuruFocus), MercadoLibre is <strong>near its cheapest levels in the past decade</strong>.</p><p>In our Fundamental Framework, MercadoLibre scores <strong>86 points</strong>, ranking it as a <strong>high-quality company</strong> &#8212; with only Nvidia scoring higher today.</p><p>For long-term investors, this is a rare setup: a dominant market leader with visionary management, a wide moat, and years of growth still ahead. That&#8217;s why <strong>MercadoLibre is the first of our Best Buys for October.</strong> And with its track record and ambitions, we believe its own words say it best: <em>&#8220;The best is yet to come.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>The Future Investors (Vincent &amp; Stefan) currently hold a position in MercadoLibre.</em></p><p><strong>Fundamental score: 86 &#128309; &#8594; High-Quality<br>Current stock price: $2,246.60</strong></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ftrinvestors.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption"><em><strong>Never miss an update.</strong> Join The Future Investors now and get early access to exclusive insights &#8212; straight to your inbox.</em></p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><div><hr></div><p>The next two?

We highlighted the company in May when the stock traded near $53, and saw it surge to $91 following its inclusion in the S&amp;P 500. However, after the August 7 earnings report, shares plunged back to the $53 range &#8212; down nearly 40% in a single day!</p><h4><strong>What Happened?</strong></h4><p>The earnings headline looked solid: <strong>revenue up 19% to $694 million</strong> (a small beat versus expectations of $685M) and <strong>EPS of $0.41</strong>, in line with consensus. EBITDA came in at <strong>$271 million</strong>, above the $261M forecast. By most measures, this was still double-digit growth and a healthy quarter.</p><p>So why did the stock plunge?</p><ol><li><p><strong>Guidance disappointed</strong> &#8211; For Q3, management guided to $717M revenue and $277M EBITDA, essentially in line with Wall Street estimates but below what bullish investors were hoping for. After years of consistently &#8220;beat and raise,&#8221; merely meeting expectations was seen as a letdown.</p></li><li><p><strong>Amazon competition</strong> &#8211; Analysts highlighted Amazon&#8217;s ramping DSP (demand-side platform), its new <strong>Roku partnership</strong>, and exclusive sports/NBA rights on Prime Video as intensifying pressure. While CEO Jeff Green stressed Amazon could one day become a partner, the market chose to focus on the near-term threat.</p></li><li><p><strong>Macro headwinds</strong> &#8211; Management pointed to tariff uncertainty, a slower rollout of next-gen adtech adoption among big advertisers, and tighter ad budgets as factors weighing on growth.</p></li><li><p><strong>CFO transition</strong> &#8211; Longtime CFO Laura Schenkein stepped down, replaced by board member and ex&#8211;Lightspeed partner <strong>Alex Kayyal</strong>. While the change looks orderly, it added to concerns about execution and leadership stability.</p></li></ol><h4><strong>Why We See the Reaction as Overdone</strong></h4><p>Despite the sharp sell-off, The Trade Desk is still growing <strong>double digits</strong> in both revenue (+19%) and EBITDA (+39%). Few companies in advertising &#8212; or tech more broadly &#8212; deliver this kind of growth at scale. The reaction seems less about fundamentals and more about <strong>valuation reset + intensified Amazon fear</strong>.</p><p>At $54, the stock is back to where we first recommended it earlier this year, trading around the share price levels of 2020 (and the lows of 2022/2023) &#8212; despite being a much larger and more profitable company today.</p><h4><strong>Our View</strong></h4><p>We believe the August sell-off was <strong>overdone</strong>. Expectations have now reset to more reasonable levels, giving The Trade Desk room to positively surprise in upcoming quarters. The fundamentals &#8212; double-digit growth, strong margins, a visionary CEO, and a defensible moat &#8212; remain compelling.</p><p>For patient investors, today&#8217;s price offers a <strong>rare second chance</strong> to build or add to a position in one of the most innovative companies in digital advertising!</p><p><em>The Future Investors (Vincent &amp; Stefan) currently hold a position in The Trade Desk</em></p><p><strong>Fundamental score: 73 &#128994; &#8594; Quality<br>Current stock price: $54.66</strong></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ftrinvestors.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption"><em><strong>Never miss an update.</strong> Join The Future Investors now and get early access to exclusive insights &#8212; straight to your inbox.</em></p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><div><hr></div><p>The next two?

Without ASML&#8217;s machines, <strong>TSMC can&#8217;t produce chips</strong> &#8212; and <strong>Nvidia doesn&#8217;t have any to sell</strong>. No ASML means no advanced semiconductors, and no AI boom.</p><p>ASML holds a <strong>global monopoly</strong> in <strong>EUV lithography</strong>, a technology that&#8217;s essential for producing the world&#8217;s most advanced chips. Its machines are used by every major chipmaker &#8212; from Intel to Samsung to TSMC &#8212; And with AI and cloud computing surging, the need for ASML&#8217;s machines is only increasing.</p><p>We highlighted ASML as a <strong>Best Buy back in June</strong> &#8212; and since then, the stock has dropped further, despite beating expectations on every Q2 earnings metric: revenue, EPS, gross margin, and bookings all came in ahead of forecasts. So why the selloff?</p><p>A single line from ASML&#8217;s CEO triggered it:</p><blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;Although we still expect growth in 2026, we can&#8217;t guarantee it at this point.&#8221;</strong></em></p></blockquote><p>That cautious tone &#8212; paired with macro uncertainties like rising import tariffs &#8212; spooked investors. But we believe the <strong>market overreacted</strong>. ASML isn&#8217;t forecasting a decline; it&#8217;s simply being conservative in its outlook. And with U.S. chipmakers like Intel and TSMC investing billions into domestic fabs, demand for ASML&#8217;s machines isn&#8217;t going away, even if trade policies get tougher.</p><p>ASML still expects <strong>revenue to grow to &#8364;44&#8211;60B by 2030</strong>, up from &#8364;30B today, with margins climbing toward 60%. It&#8217;s also <strong>accelerating share buybacks</strong>, having already surpassed 2024 totals in just the first half of 2025! That&#8217;s a clear sign of management&#8217;s confidence.</p><p>Today, ASML trades at a <strong>forward P/E of 25.1</strong> &#8212; a discount to its 10-year average of 35 (source: GuruFocus).

iconic creative tools</strong> &#8212; like Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and Acrobat. These tools are part of Adobe <strong>Creative Cloud</strong>, a subscription platform used by millions of people to design, edit, and publish digital content.</p><p>From students and freelancers to marketers, designers, and large enterprises, Adobe is essential in industries like media, advertising, education, and film. Whether it&#8217;s a YouTube thumbnail or a blockbuster trailer &#8212; Adobe powers the creative process behind the scenes.</p><p>In recent years, Adobe has added powerful <strong>AI features</strong> through <strong>Adobe Firefly</strong>, its own generative AI engine. Firefly allows users to generate images, edit content, and automate design tasks using simple prompts, seamlessly integrated into apps like Photoshop and Illustrator.</p><div id="youtube2-Fxck1CWjue4" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;Fxck1CWjue4&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Fxck1CWjue4?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><h4><strong>Why is Adobe under pressure?</strong></h4><p>Adobe&#8217;s stock peaked in November 2021 at over $690. Since then, its share price has tumbled sharply, not because the business is struggling, but on rising worries over <strong>generative AI</strong>.</p><p>Many investors worry Adobe could be disrupted by faster-moving players like <strong>Canva, Figma</strong>, and <strong>Midjourney</strong>, which offer simple AI tools targeting casual users and small teams. But Adobe plays in a different league: it focuses on <strong>creative professionals and businesses</strong> that need precision, power, and flexibility.</p><p>Its tools are deeply embedded in real-world creative workflows &#8212; from ad agencies and film studios to enterprise marketing teams. That&#8217;s why we see AI not as a threat, but as a <strong>growth driver</strong>. Adobe&#8217;s generative AI engine, Firefly, is built into its core apps, making the creative process faster and more efficient, without replacing it.</p><p>Where others offer individual tools, Adobe delivers a <strong>full ecosystem</strong>. With its scale, brand trust, and subscription-based model, we believe Adobe is well-positioned to remain the standard in professional creativity &#8212; even in an AI-first world.</p><h4><strong>Why Adobe looks attractive now</strong></h4><p>Adobe currently trades at a <strong>P/E ratio of 24</strong> and a <strong>forward P/E of 18.3,</strong> far below its 10-year average of 51 and approaching <strong>all-time lows</strong> (source: GuruFocus). Despite the stock being <strong>down more than 45%</strong> from its peak, the business continues to grow and innovate. </p><p>Margins remain exceptional, with <strong>gross margins above 89%</strong> and <strong>net margins over 30% </strong>(source: Koyfin) &#8212; rare even for top software businesses. Its subscription model and strong cash flows add stability and flexibility. </p><p>On top of that, Adobe&#8217;s <strong>management has a proven track record</strong>, from pioneering the shift to subscriptions to taking the lead in AI. It&#8217;s not reacting to trends &#8212; it&#8217;s shaping them. We believe the recent weakness in the share price reflects fear, not fundamentals. For long-term investors looking for quality, durability, and exposure to digital and AI-driven growth, this could be <strong>one of the best opportunities in years</strong> to buy into <strong>a high-quality leader at a fair price. </strong></p><p>Last month, Vincent also further increased his position in Adobe.

<strong>three Best Bulls</strong> &#8212; great companies trading at a fair price, backed by strong fundamentals. And starting in January, we&#8217;ve added a <strong>bi-monthly Rising Star</strong>: a growth pick we believe has the potential to shine over the next 5 to 10 years. We always share our stocks picks &#8212; both Best Bulls and Rising Stars &#8212; on the 1st of the month.</p><p>We started this series to highlight quality opportunities, not hype, but companies we truly believe in based on our own analysis.</p><p>It&#8217;s now June, almost halfway through 2025 &#8212; the perfect moment for a quick check-in. How are our Best Bulls and Rising Stars performing so far? </p><div><hr></div><p><em><strong>Don&#8217;t forget: Annual Subscription &#8212; Now 26% Off! &#128293;<br></strong>Unlock<strong> full access &#10024; </strong>and<strong> enjoy a 26% discount </strong>on your Annual Subscription &#8212; for life!</em></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ftrinvestors.com/subscribe&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Get Full Access Now &#10024;&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://www.ftrinvestors.com/subscribe"><span>Get Full Access Now &#10024;</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3><strong>The Results So Far</strong></h3><p>So, how have our picks performed? </p><p>In short, the results have been <strong>exceptional!</strong> Since December, we&#8217;ve highlighted 14 Best Bulls<strong>,</strong> and <strong>13 of them are up</strong>, with just one showing a decline. The average return? A strong <strong>+13.2% </strong>&#8212; and keep in mind, most of these stocks were only tipped a few weeks or months ago. Our best-performing Best Bull is already up an impressive <strong>+43.5%.</strong> &#128640;</p><p>And the Rising Stars? They&#8217;ve done even better! &#128293; We&#8217;ve shared three so far &#8212; one every two months since January &#8212; and <strong>all three have delivered positive returns</strong>. On average, they&#8217;ve gained <strong>+71.0%</strong>, with our very first Rising Star from January already soaring to <strong>+129.2%</strong>. Pretty mindblowing, right? &#129327;&#128200;</p><p>These aren&#8217;t just good numbers &#8212; they&#8217;re extraordinary, especially over such a short time frame. And that&#8217;s no accident. We use a <strong>carefully executed, fundamentals-first selection process</strong> to every pick. We dive deep into financials, valuations, business models, and long-term potential, only selecting companies we believe are truly set up to outperform.</p><p>We&#8217;re not chasing hype. We do the work for you: identifying quality businesses trading at fair prices, with the goal of finding <strong>real opportunities for long-term returns</strong>. And based on the first six months, that strategy is clearly paying off.</p><p>Time to dive in &#8212; which picks delivered the biggest gains?

Mo&#235;t &amp; Chandon, and TAG Heuer. But it&#8217;s more than just prestige. LVMH is a financial powerhouse. Even in a fast-changing world, LVMH proves that timeless luxury still has <strong>massive pricing power.</strong></p><p>The stock has pulled back the last years due to <strong>economic concerns</strong> and <strong>weaker demand</strong> in parts of Asia. It peaked near $200 in July 2023, but now trades around $108 &#8212; a drop of nearly 46%. This is exactly the kind of dip long-term investors should embrace.</p><p>In Q1 2025, LVMH reported &#8364;20.3 billion in <strong>revenue, down 3%</strong> compared to last year. The Fashion &amp; Leather Goods division, its most important business unit, dropped by 5%. Japan was weaker, while the U.S. performed well, especially in Fashion and Watches &amp; Jewelry <em>(source: LVMH 2025 Q1 Revenue Press Release)</em>. It&#8217;s clear that <strong>2025 will be a tough year </strong>for LVMH. Analysts expect a 1% decline in revenue. But <strong>2026 looks much better,</strong> with forecasts of 5% sales growth and 19% earnings growth <em>(source: Yahoo Finance)</em>. As always, long-term investing is about looking ahead.</p><p>The <strong>valuation also looks attractive right</strong> now to us. The stock trades at a <strong>forward  P/E of 20.8,</strong> compared to its <strong>10-year average of 26.7</strong>, a discount of about 20% <em>(source: GuruFocus)</em>. Looking at EV/EBITDA, LVMH is currently trading at 13.8, the lowest level in recent years <em>(source: FinChat)</em>. On top of that, the stock offers a <strong>2.62% dividend yield</strong>, not bad while waiting for growth to return. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Pglm!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa58852f4-2a61-4f87-9c3d-aadbe2574a79_1200x787.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Pglm!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa58852f4-2a61-4f87-9c3d-aadbe2574a79_1200x787.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Pglm!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa58852f4-2a61-4f87-9c3d-aadbe2574a79_1200x787.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Pglm!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa58852f4-2a61-4f87-9c3d-aadbe2574a79_1200x787.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Pglm!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa58852f4-2a61-4f87-9c3d-aadbe2574a79_1200x787.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Pglm!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa58852f4-2a61-4f87-9c3d-aadbe2574a79_1200x787.jpeg" width="1200" height="787" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a58852f4-2a61-4f87-9c3d-aadbe2574a79_1200x787.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:787,&quot;width&quot;:1200,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:149271,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.ftrinvestors.com/i/164941081?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa58852f4-2a61-4f87-9c3d-aadbe2574a79_1200x787.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Pglm!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa58852f4-2a61-4f87-9c3d-aadbe2574a79_1200x787.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Pglm!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa58852f4-2a61-4f87-9c3d-aadbe2574a79_1200x787.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Pglm!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa58852f4-2a61-4f87-9c3d-aadbe2574a79_1200x787.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Pglm!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa58852f4-2a61-4f87-9c3d-aadbe2574a79_1200x787.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>For a high-quality company like LVMH, this low valuation doesn&#8217;t happen often. We believe that once growth expectations start to improve &#8212; especially in Asia &#8212; the <strong>stock could rebound quickly</strong>. Investors usually react early, so sentiment might shift before the actual results catch up.</p><p>Also worth noting: <strong>CEO Bernard Arnault</strong> has been buying more shares this year &#8212; and his purchases have become more aggressive in recent months.

Smaller firms simply have more room to grow.</p><p>That said, the largest companies in 2035 will likely be bigger than today&#8217;s giants. Here&#8217;s how top market caps have grown over the decades:</p><ul><li><p><em>1995: Exxon Mobil / General Electric &#8211; $100B</em></p></li><li><p><em>2005: General Electric &#8211; $375B</em></p></li><li><p><em>2015: Apple &#8211; $750B</em></p></li><li><p><em>2025: Microsoft &#8211; $3.41T</em></p></li></ul><p>If this trend continues, the top company in 2035 could be worth <strong>$10T</strong>. For a 100x return, its current market cap should be <strong>under $100B</strong> &#8212;<strong> ideally much less</strong>, as most won&#8217;t come close to $10 trillion.</p><p><strong>2&#65039;&#8419; Exposure to a Powerful Megatrend &#128640;<br></strong>The most explosive growth comes from companies riding a <strong>powerful</strong> <strong>megatrend</strong>, like the internet, smartphones, or AI, clean energy and quantum computing, in the years ahead. These megatrends create lasting demand and open up large and expanding Total Addressable Markets (TAM).</p><p><strong>3&#65039;&#8419; Strong Revenue Growth &#128176;<br></strong>To become a 100-bagger, a company needs to grow fast &#8212; ideally with <strong>revenue growth of at least 30% per year.</strong></p><p>In the early stages, many high-potential companies aren't yet profitable. But what matters is improving margins and a realistic <strong>path to sustainable free cash flow.</strong></p><p><strong>4&#65039;&#8419; Scalable Business Model &#129513;<br></strong>Winning companies <strong>scale efficiently</strong>, they don&#8217;t need to double staff or spending to double revenue. Software, platforms, and digital networks are great examples: they support high user growth with relatively low additional cost, leading to stronger margins and faster scaling.</p><p><strong>5&#65039;&#8419; Exceptional Leadership and R&amp;D &#128300;<br></strong>Behind every 100-bagger is a <strong>visionary</strong>, often<strong> founder-led team</strong>. These leaders think long-term, invest wisely, and focus heavily on innovation.</p><p><strong>Strong R&amp;D investment, </strong>often 15&#8211;30% of revenue in early years, is common. Nvidia, Tesla, ASML, and Palantir all made major R&amp;D bets early on that later paid off.</p><p><strong>6&#65039;&#8419; Potential to Expand &#127757;<br></strong>Many 100x companies don&#8217;t just dominate one niche, they expand into <strong>new or related markets</strong>. For example, Nvidia evolved from gaming GPUs to powering AI and data centers. Amazon grew from books to a full ecosystem of e-commerce, cloud, and logistics.</p><p>In short: We&#8217;re looking for companies that start <strong>relatively small</strong> but have the vision and potential to become <strong>global market leaders</strong>.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ftrinvestors.com/p/our-live-portfolio&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;View our Portfolios&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://www.ftrinvestors.com/p/our-live-portfolio"><span>View our Portfolios</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h4><strong>Our Top 3 Picks</strong></h4><p>Which stocks truly meet the 100-bagger criteria?</p><p>After reviewing dozens of promising names, we&#8217;ve narrowed it down to <strong>three standouts</strong> &#8212; not just for what they are today, but for what they could become in the next decade.</p><p>We&#8217;re not saying these are guaranteed 100-baggers, no one can predict the future.

battery systems</strong> for the electricity grid. It was founded in 2008 and is based in Edison, New Jersey.</p><p>EOS has been on a mission:</p><blockquote><p><strong>To accelerate the shift to clean energy by transforming how the world stores power in a safe, scalable, efficient, and sustainable way.</strong></p></blockquote><p>EOS focuses on <strong>long-duration energy storage</strong>, helping to store power from solar and wind for 3 to 12 hours &#8212; so it&#8217;s available when people actually need it. Its battery technology, called <strong>Znyth&#8482;</strong>, uses zinc, water, and other common materials. Compared to lithium-ion batteries, it&#8217;s safer, longer-lasting, and doesn&#8217;t rely on rare or flammable materials.</p><p>Since 2019, EOS has been led by CEO Joe Mastrangelo, a veteran in the energy sector with nearly 30 years of experience. Under his leadership, the company has gone from R&amp;D to real-world deployment, scaling up production and signing deals with utility companies in the U.S. and abroad.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ftrinvestors.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.ftrinvestors.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><h4><strong>Our Thesis</strong></h4><p><strong>EOS Energy</strong> is working on one of the biggest challenges in clean energy: how to store power from wind and solar safely, affordably, and for several hours. Its zinc-based batteries offer a different solution than lithium-ion &#8212; using common, non-flammable materials like zinc and water to deliver 3 to 12 hours of energy storage.</p><p>The company is still relatively small, with a market value of around <strong>$1.35 billion</strong>. That matters. To become a 100-bagger, EOS would need to reach $135 billion. That&#8217;s ambitious, but more realistic than for companies already worth tens of billions. The starting point is right.</p><p>EOS is part of one of the most important global trends of this decade: the shift to <strong>clean, reliable energy</strong>. As the world adds more solar and wind to the grid, storing that power becomes essential &#8212; not just for minutes, but for hours at a time. EOS is building technology that meets that exact need.</p><p>Revenue is expected to grow by <strong>316% over the next three years </strong>(source: koyfin). That&#8217;s explosive growth, driven by rising demand from utilities and energy providers. For investors looking for fast growth in a critical sector, this kind of number stands out.</p><p>EOS isn&#8217;t a software company. It builds physical battery systems, which means factories, materials, and higher costs. The business model is <strong>less scalable</strong> and more capital-heavy, with lower margins. But it solves a key problem in the shift to clean energy, and that makes it worth attention.</p><p>EOS is <strong>not founder-led</strong>. The team has strong engineering and industry experience, but the focus is more on execution than innovation. <strong>R&amp;D is focused on improving hardware and accounted for 125% of revenue last year</strong> (source: koyfin) a sign of how heavily the company is investing in product development at this stage.</p><p><strong>The potential market is massive.</strong> Beyond grid storage, this technology could be used for industrial backup power, utilities, microgrids, and EV charging. The need for safe, reliable storage is growing &#8212; and EOS is one of the more promising companies focused entirely on this challenge.</p><p><strong>Could EOS become a 100-bagger?</strong><br>It&#8217;s possible and in our view, one of the stronger candidates. The company needs to keep growing fast, manage the complexity of hardware at scale, and earn a leading role in the global energy system. That won&#8217;t be easy. But with a small market cap, triple-digit growth ahead, and a clear focus on a massive and urgent problem, EOS stands out as <strong>one of the most overlooked clean energy opportunities of the decade</strong>.</p><h4><strong>Summary</strong></h4><p><strong>1&#65039;&#8419; Market Cap: </strong>&#11088;&#11088;&#11088;&#11088;&#9734; </p><p><strong>2&#65039;&#8419; Megatrend: </strong>&#11088;&#11088;&#11088;&#11088;&#9734; </p><p><strong>3&#65039;&#8419; Revenue Growth: </strong>&#11088;&#11088;&#11088;&#11088;&#11088;</p><p><strong>4&#65039;&#8419; Business Model: </strong>&#11088;&#11088;&#9734;&#9734;&#9734;</p><p><strong>5&#65039;&#8419; Management and R&amp;D: </strong>&#11088;&#11088;&#11088;&#9734;&#9734;</p><p><strong>6&#65039;&#8419; Expand New Markets: </strong>&#11088;&#11088;&#11088;&#11088;&#9734;</p><p><strong>Final score: </strong>&#11088;&#11088;&#11088;&#11088;&#9734; <strong>(3.7)</strong></p><p><em>The Future Investors (Vincent &amp; Stefan) currently do not hold a position in EOS Energy. </em></p><div><hr></div><p>Now let&#8217;s move on to our <strong>number 2</strong> and <strong>number 1 picks</strong> &#8212; the ones we believe could deliver <strong>life-changing returns </strong>over the next decade.
