Exclusive News 5 Stocks to Buy in February: Last Year's Winners Aren't Done YetAuthored by Thomas Hughes. Originally Published: 1/29/2026. 
Article Highlights - Many of 2025’s top-performing stocks remain well-positioned for 2026 as key trends continue to strengthen.
- Analysts broadly expect double-digit upside for these names, with several positioned to challenge or set new highs.
- Forward expectations may still be conservative, leaving room for a cycle of outperformance and upward revisions as catalysts play out.
2026 is off to a bullish start. The S&P 500 and other major indices are ending January at record highs, led by the Russell 2000 (INDEXRUSSELL: RUT), which tracks small-cap stocks. The sector rotation seen over the past 18 months is accelerating. While tech and big tech remain central to the outlook, leadership is broadening across sectors and risk profiles. Five stocks that led in 2025 still have momentum heading into 2026—and February could offer better entry points. Advanced Micro Devices Approaches NVIDIA-Like Inflection Advanced Micro Devices' (NASDAQ: AMD) share price will finish January more than 25% above its early-month lows. That bounce, which confirms support at last year's key resistance level, reinforces the growth outlook implied by the MI450 launch. Later in the year, that product could produce NVIDIA-like results for AMD's datacenter business, potentially driving triple-digit growth in that segment and broader system-level benefits. The former CEO of Google calls it the most important thing to happen in 500, maybe 1,000 years of human society. A former U.S. Treasury Secretary says when your great-grandchildren write the history of this period, the political headlines will be the second or third story. The first story is something none of us have seen before. The dot-com collapse, global financial crisis, and COVID-19 pandemic don't compare to what's coming next. We may be entering a period of dramatic, almost unimaginable change. See the full warning and how to prepare now. Based on current forecasts, AMD appears to be trading at a deep discount to analysts' targets, which may be conservative. Sentiment is decidedly bullish: January saw a number of coverage initiations, the Moderate Buy rating has firmed, and price targets are moving higher. These trends suggest the stock could reach the high end of analyst ranges—roughly 35% upside as of early 2026—with further target increases possible later in the year. 
Amprius Technologies Cements Production Capacity Ahead of Q4 Release Amprius Technologies (NYSE: AMPX) is up roughly 50% from recent lows as markets look ahead to the Q4 FY2025 earnings release, slated for late March. The report is expected to confirm a strengthening order pipeline, ramping production, and a clearer path to profitability. Recent developments include three South Korean battery manufacturers joining Amprius's production alliance, putting the company ahead of schedule and on track to meet cost-reduction and cash-burn targets. Analysts are optimistic, assigning a Moderate Buy rating and implying about 35% upside from critical resistance near $12. 
Credo Technologies Pulls Back Into Buying Opportunity Credo Technologies' (NASDAQ: CRDO) pullback presents what looks like a compelling buying opportunity. The decline runs counter to improving results and accelerating analyst sentiment. MarketBeat data show that coverage increased significantly over the past 12 months, sentiment has firmed from Moderate Buy to Buy, and consensus price targets have trended higher. Consensus estimates are up nearly 200% year-over-year, and analysts imply roughly 70% upside, with many forecasts targeting the high end of the range. A potential catalyst is the Q3 FY2026 report scheduled for early March. Credo's products are central to advanced datacenter AI and inference workloads, which should help sustain momentum. 
Bloom Energy Blossoms Under Data Center Demand Bloom Energy's (NYSE: BE) low-emission, high-efficiency fuel cells are well-suited for specific applications—most notably data centers—where connecting to the traditional grid can be difficult. They enable rapid, lower-cost deployment and operation. While not intended for the largest installations, rising demand from these niches is driving revenue growth and improving margins. Bloom posted sequential and year-over-year growth exceeding 50% in Q3 and is expected to sustain high-double-digit growth into Q4 FY2025 and 2026. Earnings should expand even faster, supporting a sharply improved analyst outlook. Among 26 MarketBeat trackers, the consensus rating is a Hold, but coverage and sentiment have strengthened—approaching Moderate Buy—and the consensus price target is up roughly 400%. Although the stock currently lags the broader market, January forecasts point to another ~20% gain this year. 
Applied Digital Breaks Out After Solid Results Applied Digital's (NASDAQ: APLD) Q2 FY2026 results delivered exactly what the market needed: revenue nearly doubled year-over-year and beat consensus estimates, validating a robust outlook that includes the completion of a second campus coming online this year. The second campus is essentially sold out, and new contracts—such as one with CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV)—suggest a third campus may be required. Analysts reacted positively, with initiations, upgrades, and price-target increases pointing to the high end of the range and implying as much as 50% upside from the breakout point.
