This Month's Exclusive News 5 Stocks to Buy in February: Last Year's Winners Aren't Done YetWritten by Thomas Hughes. First Published: 1/29/2026. 
Summary - 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 well underway and off to a bullish start. The S&P 500 and other major indices are ending January at record highs, and the Russell 2000 (INDEXRUSSELL: RUT), which tracks small-cap stocks, is leading the charge. The sector rotation seen over the past 18 months is picking up pace. Tech and big tech remain central to the outlook, but leadership is broadening to include a wider range of names and risk profiles. Five stocks that led in 2025 still carry momentum into 2026—and February could offer better entry points. Advanced Micro Devices Approaches NVIDIA-Like Inflection Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) has risen more than 25% from its early-month lows in January. The move confirms support at last year's critical resistance level and reinforces the growth outlook implied by the MI450 launch, scheduled for later this year. That launch could produce results similar to NVIDIA's, potentially driving triple‑digit gains in datacenter revenue and broader system growth. Based on current forecasts, the stock appears to be trading at a deep discount to analyst estimates, which may be conservative. Sentiment is bullish: several January coverage initiations, a firming Moderate Buy rating, and rising price targets. These trends point to upside toward the high end of analyst ranges—potentially around 35% in early 2026—with price targets likely to be raised as the year progresses.  Amprius Technologies Cements Production Capacity Ahead of Q4 Release Amprius Technologies (NYSE: AMPX) has climbed roughly 50% from recent lows ahead of the Q4 FY2025 earnings release, slated for late March. The report is expected to confirm a strengthening order pipeline, a ramp in production, and a clearer pathway to profitability. Recent developments include the addition of three South Korean battery manufacturers to its production alliance, putting Amprius ahead of schedule and well on track to meet goals such as cost reduction and lower cash burn. Analysts remain optimistic, with a Moderate Buy consensus and upside of roughly 35% from key resistance near $12.  Credo Technologies Pulls Back Into Buying Opportunity Credo Technologies (NASDAQ: CRDO) is experiencing a pullback that nonetheless presents a compelling buying opportunity. The decline runs counter to improving company results and accelerating analyst coverage. MarketBeat data show that coverage increased significantly over the trailing 12 months, sentiment firmed to Buy from Moderate Buy, and price targets trended higher. Consensus estimates were up about 5% month‑over‑month in January and roughly 200% year‑over‑year, implying nearly 70% upside, with many forecasts targeting the high end of the range. A catalyst could arrive with the Q3 FY2026 report in early March. Credo is well positioned to show strength given its central role in advanced datacenter technology, AI and inference.  Bloom Energy Blossoms Under Data Center Demand Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) makes low‑emission, high‑efficiency fuel cells that are well‑suited for certain applications, including data centers where traditional grid connections can be a constraint. Their systems enable relatively quick, low‑cost deployment and operations. Although not appropriate for every large‑scale installation, rising demand is starting to drive revenue growth and improving margins. Bloom Energy accelerated sequential and year‑over‑year growth to over 50% in Q3 and is expected to sustain high double‑digit growth in Q4 FY2025 and through 2026. Earnings are projected to rise faster than revenue, supporting a rapidly improving analysts' outlook. Among 26 MarketBeat‑tracked analysts, the consensus rating is Hold, but coverage has increased substantially over the past year; sentiment is firming toward Moderate Buy, and the consensus price target has climbed roughly 400%. While the stock has lagged the broader market, January forecasts point to about 20% further upside this year.  Applied Digital Breaks Out After Solid Results Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD) delivered Q2 FY2026 results that the market welcomed: revenue nearly doubled year‑over‑year and beat consensus estimates. The quarter reinforced a strong outlook that includes the completion of its second campus, expected to begin coming online this year. The second campus is sold out or nearly so, and recent contracts — including one with CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) — suggest a third campus may soon be needed. Analysts reacted positively, with coverage initiations, upgrades, and higher price targets pointing to the high end of the range and implying as much as 50% upside from the breakout point.
