Buying a stock in the hopes of holding it for 20 years or longer can be a difficult task. Warren Buffett likes to say his favorite holding period is "forever," but his trading history shows he has sold holdings, even after owning them for decades.
Knowing that, investors should look for holdings with the potential to survive and thrive for decades. Fortunately, investors have plenty of options, and these three well-established consumer staples stocks should stand out.
Missed AI's "Act 1"? Act 2 Could Be 14x Bigger. Most investors think they missed the AI boat because they didn't buy Nvidia in 2005. But according to our ****** ysts, we're only at the end of "Act 1"—the R&D phase. "Act 2" is the global rollout. Continue »
The public knows PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP) best for its flagship cola. Nonetheless, the company owns numerous well-known beverage and food brands, including Gatorade, Mountain Dew, Tostitos, and Quaker.
Its stock had suffered in recent years as the public turned against unhealthy beverages and packaged foods. PepsiCo has since pivoted, emphasizing healthier ingredients in its products and buying brands such as Siete to bolster this reputation.

As a Californian, I can say this: If there are two industries that residents of the Golden State really don't like, it's insurance providers and utilities.
Interestingly, with the state considering wildfire reform legislation, those industries are at odds with one another. That's material for investors considering stocks such as PG&E (NYSE: PCG). The company known to California customers as Pacific Gas & Electric is one of the four major investor-owned utilities in the state, and due to the state having some of the highest utility rates in the U.S., PG&E and friends don't have a lot of fans in the state.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Of course, investing isn't a popularity contest. There are plenty of stocks that are often vilified in the court of public opinion that also deliver compelling returns. This year, oil equities certainly check that box. But the biggest risk to prospective PG&E investors isn't how Californians feel about the utility. It's the goings-on in Sacramento.
For those who are new to utility stocks, the primary reasons investors have embraced this sector over the years are above-average dividend yields, below-average risk profiles, and, more recently, inroads to the artificial intelligence (AI) trade.

You've been working for decades and are eagerly anticipating your retirement years, when you'll finally be free to do whatever you want — whether that's travel, golfing, hiking or volunteering.
But while you may be looking forward to ending your worklife, you may not have yet created a strong enough plan. A 2026 study from the Employee Benefit Research Institute, for instance, found that only half of retirees rated their household financial well-being as at least very good, while two in five said healthcare costs have been higher than they expected. Two in five also said their overall spending in retirement was more than they expected.

Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (NYSE:VRTS) reported on September 11 that preliminary ****** ets under management, or AUM, totaled $147.501 billion at August-end, compared with $148.874 billion at July-end. That represents a $1.373 billion decline, or approximately 0.9%.
Management identified net outflows in institutional accounts, retail separate accounts, U.S. retail funds and global funds, partly offset by positive flows into exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, and tender-offer funds.
Positive market performance partly offset net outflows. The $1.373 billion AUM decline therefore differs from net client withdrawals, which the announcement did not quantify. The underlying business question is whether products attracting new money can become large enough to stabilize the revenue base.
Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (NYSE:VRTS) has identifiable sources of customer demand. Positive net flows into ETFs and tender-offer funds provide a route toward a more balanced product mix.
ETF demand also appeared in the second quarter, when these products attracted $0.3 billion of net inflows. August's positive flows suggest the opportunity extends beyond a single reporting period.

A fresh wave of nuclear stock listings is sweeping Wall Street as the explosive growth of data centers puts mounting pressure on electricity grids and reignites investor appetite for nuclear power. Joining this initial public offering (IPO) frenzy is nuclear stock Holtec Nuclear, which is gearing up for its public debut this month. The company plans to offer 50 million shares of Class A common stock at a price range of $15 to $18 per share, potentially raising up to $900 million and valuing the company at as much as $10.2 billion.
Holtec plans to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and Nasdaq Texas under the ticker symbol "HNUC" on Sept. 18. The underwriters also have a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 7.5 million shares. Leading the offering as joint lead book-running managers are J.P. Morgan, Guggenheim Securities, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and BofA Securities, while Morgan Stanley, Cantor, BMO Capital Markets, and Oppenheimer & Co. round out the group of joint book-running managers.

Prosper Stars & Stripes, a long/short equity fund, recently released its second-quarter 2026 investor letter. The letter can be downloaded here. In Q2 2026, the portfolio delivered a strong net return of +30.1% compared to the Russell 2000 Index's +21.5% return and the HFRX Equity Hedge Index's +10.3% return. The long book drove performance, generating a 43.2% gross contribution, while average net exposure remained relatively modest at 47%. U.S. economic growth remained resilient despite inflation concerns, elevated energy prices, and geopolitical uncertainty. Markets rallied sharply after easing U.S.-Iran tensions pushed oil prices lower, supporting renewed risk appetite. Small-cap equities benefited significantly, with Information Technology, Industrials, and Health Care leading gains, while Energy declined as crude prices fell. Year to date, the Composite returned +23.7%, slightly ahead of the Russell 2000's +22.6% and well above the HFRI Equity Hedge Index's +9.7%. Additionally, you can review the Portfolio's top 5 holdings to see its best picks for 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Prosper Stars & Stripes highlighted Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:OLED). Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:OLED) is an American technology company that develops and commercializes organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technologies and materials for use in display and solid-state lighting applications. On September 14, 2026, Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:OLED) closed at $76.62 per share. Over the past month, Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:OLED) declined 9.27%, and its shares lost 44.06% over the past 52 weeks. Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:OLED) has a market capitalization of $3.52 billion, and its stock traded within a 52-week range of $76.42 to $153.38.
Prosper Stars & Stripes stated the following regarding Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:OLED) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"This year's market rally has pressured short returns and narrowed the windows to successfully monetize shorts, as we would expect. Certain themes and short ideas do continue to resonate, however. One theme that has had success is the ongoing pressure caused by the investment boom in AI crowding out spending in other areas. We have shorted Universal Display Corporation (NASDAQ:OLED), Dolby Laboratories (DLB), and Logitech International (LOGI) on this theme. We believe cost pressures on technology components such as DRAM to result in higher prices for consumer electronics. This would have a significant impact on back-to-school and holiday spending, the key periods for these companies' end markets. We expect the forecasts that these companies are providing at this time of the year to prove optimistic, as tech cost inflation is unusual. Further, we believe the so-called K-shaped economy, where consumers have felt the pressure of rising costs of living, will continue to squeeze discretionary purchases like these.

Chinese financial services firm GF Securities has cautioned that NAND prices will stabilize by the end of the year. For NAND king SanDisk (SNDK), this is particularly relevant as ******* yst Jeff Pu said, "We maintain our high‑teen QoQ NAND price expectation for 3Q26 but expect softening in 4Q26 to low single‑digit QoQ, pressured by weaker mobile demand and elevated mobile/PC inventories. Hyperscaler NAND inventory remains healthy at ~14 weeks (vs. ~15‑week normal), but the softer pricing outlook could slow pull‑ins."
This follows almost one-and-a-half years of strong NAND price growth, as AI drove a significant rise in enterprise SSD demand for training datasets, inference workloads, and model updates, among other use cases.

If you were fortunate enough to invest $1,000 in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) a decade ago on Sept. 3, 2016, you would have roughly $126,810 today -- an incredible return that absolutely crushed the market. Take a look at that incredible growth in the chart below:
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Note that the calculation excludes trading fees and taxes, and the exact total fluctuates daily with Bitcoin's price. Still, turning four figures into six figures in one decade is a remarkable result by any standard.
That's putting it lightly. Few things came remotely close to a 12,581% return -- a 62% annual rate -- in that time. Compare Bitcoin's annual rate of return with some other options you would have had in 2016.

Silver (SI=F) December futures opened at $67.63 per ounce on Friday, September 4, 2026, down 0.1% from Thursday's closing price. Silver prices were steady this morning, reaching $67.45 as of 6:59 a.m. ET.
Silver prices opened at their highest level this week ahead of the August jobs report, and following comments from a Fed governor who said he's willing to hold rates steady later this month.
Economists expect the U.S. added 55,000 jobs last month, a rebound from a decline in job growth in July. Data released earlier this week suggests the labor market remains in a holding pattern of minimal yet stable job growth.
Earlier this week, Fed Governor Chris Waller said he's open to holding rates steady if next week's inflation report shows price gains are easing. This certainly puts the spotlight squarely on today's jobs numbers and next week's inflation report.

Total revenue growth accelerated to 30%, the highest rate since fiscal 2024, driven by broad-based strength across both Atlas and Enterprise Advanced (EA).
Management attributes the 36% growth in EA to the strategic launch of search and vector search capabilities, allowing regulated industries to build AI agents within governed, self-managed environments.
The 'run-anywhere' strategy is serving as a key differentiator, with customers increasingly adopting hybrid deployments across multiple clouds and on-premises to satisfy regulatory and operational resilience requirements.
Atlas momentum is being fueled by large enterprise customers and 'AI natives' who migrate to MongoDB after hitting scaling limits with legacy relational databases like Postgres.

Shein stock tumbled more than 10% in gray-market trading on Monday, the day before it was set to begin trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, a sign of tepid investor enthusiasm heading into the listing. Futu Securities, Bright Smart, and Phillip Securities — three of Hong Kong's major brokerages — each quoted the stock down more than 10% shortly after gray-market trading got underway, according to Reuters.
At Futu, which leads Hong Kong's retail brokerage market by trading volume, the shares were last quoted near HK$42. Brokerages quote gray-market prices for a stock before it begins official trading on an exchange.
According to Reuters, citing unnamed sources, Shein priced its shares at HK$48.56 apiece, raising $1.7 billion and pegging its valuation at roughly $26.5 billion. The official pricing announcement is due later on Monday, with trading set to begin Tuesday under stock code 00625.
Bevis Ho, a senior ****** yst at Futu Securities, said the move signals "caution among both retail and institutional investors," explaining that right now "investors see greater potential in AI and robotics themes than in fast fashion."
Shein's current market value amounts to just over one-quarter of the roughly $100 billion it commanded at its private-market high in 2022, with the steep decline tied to tariff and duty changes across the U.S. and Europe that have eroded the core economics of its business.

Foodservice delivered its 12th consecutive quarter of organic growth, outperforming industry traffic trends through a focus on premium prepared proteins and branded pepperoni.
Retail performance was impacted by the divestiture of the whole-bird turkey business and exits from private label snack nuts, alongside pricing elasticities from recent price increases.
Strategic momentum remains strong in priority brands like Jennie-O ground turkey, Applegate, and Planters, which benefited from targeted digital marketing and in-store activations.

XRP is leading a broader pullback in the crypto market on August 26, sliding roughly 6.6% over 24 hours to trade near $1.37, the worst performance among the top 10 cryptocurrencies.
The decline follows one of the token's strongest weekly rallies in recent memory, and traders are now watching whether the pain has only just begun.
XRP rocketed from a cycle low of $0.9877 on August 17 to a three-month high of $1.69 by August 22, a nearly 70% gain that outpaced Bitcoin's 23.6% and Ethereum's 28.1% over the same stretch.
That speed left momentum indicators deeply overbought, with the daily RSI reaching 88, a level last seen during July 2025's all-time high near $3.65.
Crypto ****** yst ChartNerdTA described the surge as a genuine breakout rather than noise, driven by a liquidity trap for short sellers and positive funding rates. The subsequent unwind has since produced an 18% decline from the $1.70 peak, pulling the price into the $1.40-$1.38 range.

Crypto has spent years promising that blockchain technology would eventually make financial markets cheaper, faster, and more efficient.
Figure may finally be offering investors a way to test that thesis.
The numbers from the quickly growing financial player have been increasingly difficult to ignore. Marketplace volumes grew 130% year over year. Revenue rose 95%.
And yet, Fundstrat Head of Digital ****** et Strategy Sean Farrell thinks Wall Street may still be valuing Figure more like a traditional lender rather than the blockchain-powered capital-markets marketplace it's trying to become. That could be an opportunity.
Farrell puts Figure at the top of his list of companies "that leverage the blockchain to improve their operating margins and increase growth".

US stocks gained on Tuesday as investors brushed aside worries about new trade measures against Canada, even as Canada announced new retaliatory tariffs on US goods. Markets also continued to weigh looming Nvidia (NVDA) earnings and predictions for Kevin Warsh's first Jackson Hole speech as Fed chair.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) and the S&P 500 (^GSPC) rose by 0.1% and 0.2%, respectively. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) advanced by 0.4%, recovering from Monday's tech declines.
Stocks held on to gains as a trade spat between the US and Canada escalated, with Canada's Finance Department announcing retaliatory tariffs to counter the 50% duties imposed by the Trump administration over the weekend. Notably, as the US and Canada have ratcheted up their rhetoric, they have left oil off the table for now, even as they raise tariffs on steel, dairy, and other products.
The price of bitcoin (BTC-USD), meanwhile, briefly surged above $80,000 for the first time in three months after the Treasury's intervention in the bond market revived concerns about dollar debasement, sending investors to alternative ****** ets. Gold (GC=F), too, has rallied in recent days but took a breather on Tuesday.
The latest economic data releases showed that both new home sales and a measure of consumer confidence fell to their lowest levels since January as cost-of-living pressures weighed on consumers. The data sets the stage for the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole Symposium later this week, where Fed Chairman Warsh will deliver a speech.

Anxious about Nvidia's results? You're likely not alone.
The stock sold off in the wake of its last three quarterly reports. Another re-evaluation could come Wednesday, when the world's most valuable company hands in its second-quarter results.
The AI chipmaker has had an active summer. CEO Jensen Huang announced a new chip purpose-built to power on-device AI agents, while the company made progress on its attempts to sell chips in China, and struck deals to help finance the AI data center buildout. The stock, meanwhile, has had a volatile year, but it's mostly risen, up 15% in 2025 though off its May highs.
Last quarter, Nvidia beat expectations and brightened its outlook, with Huang saying demand "has gone parabolic" as companies race to build AI infrastructure. Revenue climbed 85% year-over-year, with data center sales nearly doubling.
There's a lot riding on Nvidia's performance. For every $1 it collects, another $8 to $10 is spent on other technology, according to Wedbush estimates. Much of the economy and stock market's recent growth has been driven by tech giants building AI data centers, pouring money into chips, memory and data storage technology, energy infrastructure and even construction equipment. The investment is so big that the Federal Reserve is monitoring its impact on inflation.

Layoffs and facility closures are mounting across U.S. freight, distribution and manufacturing networks, with more than 7,000 jobs affected by recently announced workforce reductions involving companies ranging from Tyson Foods and FedEx to Ryder, CJ Logistics America and Daimler Truck.
The largest reduction comes from Tyson Foods, which is reportedly eliminating more than 3,000 jobs as it closes facilities in Joslin, Illinois, and Eagle Mountain, Utah. The food giant said it is shifting beef operations toward Nebraska, Kansas and Texas amid what it described as a historic cattle shortage.
Wholesale distributor Essendant also warned of sweeping cuts affecting more than 1,200 employees across six states as the company attempts to secure additional capital or find a buyer.
WARN notices show approximately 644 jobs affected in Illinois, 192 in Georgia, 150 in Pennsylvania, 136 in Texas, 103 in California and 53 in Arizona. The reductions are scheduled to begin Oct. 3. The company has warned that it could cease operations and liquidate if financing or a sale cannot be secured.
The announcements are part of a broader wave of restructuring hitting transportation, warehousing, fulfillment and manufacturing operations.

On August 7, Hawaiian Electric (NYSE:HE) reported second-quarter net income of $123.2 million, or $0.71 per share, numbers that look strong at first glance. Much of that gain traces back to a non-cash Maui wildfire settlement adjustment, not the underlying business, and core net income actually dropped once it's stripped out. The quarter tells the story of a utility making real regulatory progress on wildfire recovery and grid investment while its day-to-day operating costs keep climbing.
Hawaiian Electric has cleared several regulatory hurdles this year. In June, the Public Utilities Commission approved recovery of roughly $350 million in Wildfire Mitigation Plan spending, and the company now plans to finance that spending through securitization under Act 258 rather than the more limited Exceptional Project Recovery Mechanism, a move it says lowers the cost to customers.
The commission also accepted the company's rate rebasing methodology in June, and Hawaiian Electric resubmitted its request last month seeking a total base rate increase of $170 million phased in over two years, with $125 million taking effect in 2027 if the commission issues an interim decision by December 18. On the generation side, the company submitted a request for proposals on July 17 ahead of the August 7 issuance date, seeking nearly 1,650 gigawatt-hours of renewable energy, one of the largest competitive procurements in state history. Credit agencies have taken notice, with S&P upgrading Hawaiian Electric one notch in July, following Moody's upgrade in April.
The cost side of the ledger tells a rougher story. Core net income and earnings per share fell to $22.5 million and $0.13 in the quarter, down from $35.4 million and $0.20 a year earlier, and utility core net income slipped to $32.6 million from $42.5 million. Higher interest expense from last September's high-yield debt issuance is part of the drag, along with increased spending on vegetation management, generation overhauls, and inspection and maintenance. The company also lost a deferral it used last year for roughly $28 million in wildfire-related expenses, including insurance premiums, and it is now absorbing storm response costs from the severe flooding that hit Hawaii in February and March.
Management expects to hit the maximum penalty under its Fuel Cost Risk Sharing Mechanism this year and to book a loss under its performance incentive mechanisms. Regulators are also pushing back in places. On August 5, the commission told Hawaiian Electric it needs to demonstrate a clear need before it can proceed with a proposed request for up to 500 megawatts of additional firm generation capacity on Oahu.

U.S. Dollar Index gains some ground as traders focus on the strong rally in the oil markets. Oil prices are up by +5% as U.S. and Iran did not reach any deal over the weekend. President Trump signaled that he would use economic pressure to force Iran back to negotiations.
High oil prices may push inflation towards higher levels and force the Fed to raise rates at the next meeting in September, which will be bullish for the American currency.
The nearest resistance level for U.S. Dollar Index is located in the 99.85 – 100.00 range. In case U.S. Dollar Index manages to settle above the 100.00 level, it will head towards the next resistance, which is located in the 100.50 – 100.65 range.
EUR/USD moved lower as traders took some profits off the table near multi-week highs. There are no important economic reports scheduled to be released in the EU today, so traders will stay focused on general market sentiment.
The nearest support level for EUR/USD is located in the 1.1510 – 1.1525 range. If EUR/USD declines below the 1.1510 level, it will head towards the next support at 1.1435 – 1.1450. RSI is in the moderate territory, so there is plenty of room to gain additional downside momentum in case the right catalysts emerge.
