Share Tips 2026: This Week’s Top Stock Picks from MoneyWeek

As investors look to refresh their portfolios in 2026, MoneyWeek offers a comprehensive roundup of this week’s most promising share tips. Drawing from top financial experts and publications both in the UK and internationally, MoneyWeek highlights stocks to buy, sell, and monitor — helping readers make informed decisions amid evolving market conditions.

Three Stocks to Buy

1. Oracle (NYSE: ORCL)
Oracle’s shares have recently dipped due to concerns about its ambitious $300 billion deal with OpenAI and apprehensions over high debt and capital expenditures. However, Barron’s emphasizes that Oracle is “integral to the AI revolution,” supplying critical computing power to leading AI developers. The company reported impressive third-quarter sales of $17.2 billion, a 22% increase, largely driven by cloud infrastructure revenue. Analysts anticipate Oracle’s adoption of AI features will boost operational efficiency, projecting annual sales growth of 35% through to 2029. Overall, Oracle’s stock is described as “cheap,” suggesting a compelling buying opportunity at current levels around $141. 2. Everplay Group (LSE: EVPL)
Highlighted by Investors’ Chronicle, Everplay is a video game developer regarded as “undervalued” despite its robust fundamentals and cash flow generation. In 2025, the company maintained stable revenue after exiting its low-margin physical distribution segment; excluding this business, sales grew by 5%. The education platform StoryToys within Everplay’s portfolio experienced a notable 25% revenue increase. Although recent fears regarding AI’s impact on educational platforms contributed to a 40% drop in shares over six months, Everplay anticipates “profitable growth” for the full year. Upcoming catalysts include a new release of its popular Hell Let Loose game and strategic deals with streaming giants Netflix and Amazon. Shares are currently priced at approximately 210p.

3. UPS (NYSE: UPS)
The US package delivery firm has faced headwinds following the post-Covid shipping boom, including a downturn in freight volumes, increased competition, and the impact of US tariffs. Barron’s points out that despite these challenges, UPS’s current low valuation combined with a strong 7% dividend yield offers defensive appeal. The company has proactively cut over 60,000 jobs, refocusing on higher-margin customers and enhancing shipping capabilities. These efforts are expected to contribute to a turnaround, making UPS a potential long-term investment value at around $98 per share.

One Stock to Sell

GetBusy (LSE: GETB)
Investors’ Chronicle advises caution on GetBusy, which provides document management software targeted at professional services firms. While the company enjoyed double-digit growth over the past decade, last year’s top-line expansion slowed to just 3%, accompanied by a 10% increase in costs. This has led to the eighth pre-tax loss in ten years. Although the US subsidiary SmartVault saw a 16% rise in recurring revenue driven by price increases and new clients, GetBusy continues to grapple with customer churn. Shares are considered “cheap” at 58p, but the outlook does not suggest profitability or free cash flow generation in the near term. The recommendation is to “sell.”

Two Stocks to Consider

1. TPG (NASDAQ: TPG)
Barron’s identifies TPG, a major US private markets investor managing $300 billion in assets, as a “buy-the-dip opportunity.” Despite recent share price declines, TPG’s exposure to private-credit software is limited, and its private equity investments are expected to outperform. The firm’s portfolio includes AI pioneers like OpenAI and Anthropic as well as early-stage AI unicorns. TPG is also diversifying across real estate, insurance, and wealth management sectors. With a variable dividend policy, investors can expect a yield above 5%. Shares trade near $39. 2. Softcat (LSE: SCT)
According to Investors’ Chronicle, IT services company Softcat experienced a surge in interim hardware invoiced income, rising 78% to £584 million due to strong demand for AI-driven data centers, servers, and computing equipment installations. Its software division, bolstered by cybersecurity licensing, grew income by 19%, benefiting from new and existing customers. Serving approximately 20% of the UK market, Softcat recently raised its full-year profit guidance despite expectations of slower growth in the second half. With shares down 20% recently, this pullback is seen as “overdone,” marking it as a buy at 1,188p.
