3 Stocks We're Watching for 2026 (Big Opportunities Ahead)

In this quarterly "stocks on our radar" episode, we're joined by Braden Dennis as each of us brings one investment idea to the table. Before diving into the stocks, we discuss major breaking news in AI and private markets, including reports of a potential SpaceX IPO and OpenAI's massive new funding round at an eye-popping valuation. We then shift to our featured companies. Braden introduces QXO, a roll-up led by serial entrepreneur Brad Jacobs targeting the fragmented building products industry. Simon looks at Siemens Energy, a global player benefiting from rising demand for power infrastructure, while navigating challenges in its wind segment. Dan rounds things out with Dollarama, exploring whether recent weakness is a temporary blip or a longer-term shift in consumer behavior. We also discuss broader themes including AI commoditization, capital allocation, energy demand, and how changing consumer habits could permanently impact retail. Tickers of stocks discussed: QXO, Siemens Energy (SMERY / ENR), Dollarama (DOL.TO)
