Forbes Advisor's five stock picks for 2026 have returned an average of 3.6% over their first three months, exactly matching the S&P 500's performance over the same period.
Three of the five picks are currently outperforming the market. AMD leads the group with an 18.8% gain, while the remaining two picks trail the index.
The selections come from Forbes Advisor's article published in July 2026. At this early checkpoint, the portfolio shows neither a clear advantage nor disadvantage compared to the broader market.

Forbes Advisor's five stock picks are down an average of 3.1% three days after publication, underperforming the S&P 500's 0.3% decline by 2.8 percentage points. Only one of the five selections is beating the market so far.
Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies (WAB) leads with a 0.4% gain, the sole positive performer in the group. The other four picks are currently in the red, dragging the overall average below the benchmark.
Three trading days is far too short to judge any stock strategy. Early volatility often has nothing to do with a company's fundamentals or the thesis behind the recommendation.
