Chasing Big Gains
Exploring Promising Stock Opportunities in 2026
Hey everyone, Shane here from Mesquite, Texas. As we wrap up the first month of 2026, I've been keeping an eye on the markets and spotted some stocks that remind me of past turnaround stories and high-growth plays. These picks span fintech, pharma, AI, and more.
Instead of one huge table, I've broken them into individual cards for better readability (especially on mobile). Each shows the quick stats, with the full "why" explanation below.

Probabilities/gains are rough model estimates (historical vol + 10% ann. return over 1 yr)—not guarantees. I may hold positions.
PYPL - PayPal Holdings
Sector: Fintech/Digital Payments
Recent: Up ~9-10% YTD; Forward P/E ~9x
Entry ≈ $52.70
Exit Target ≈ $65.76
Potential Gain: ~25%
Est. Prob. (1yr): ~31%
Why? Turnaround play like OPEN's pivot. Strong base, Venmo growth, AI tools—could explode if spending rebounds. Undervalued multi-bagger potential.
UBER - Uber Technologies
Sector: Mobility/Fintech/Gig Economy
Recent: Up ~2% YTD; Forward P/E ~20x
Entry ≈ $79.95
Exit Target ≈ $112.77
Potential Gain: ~41%
Est. Prob. (1yr): ~20%
Why? High-vol growth like ORBS pivots. Robotaxi hype + profitability could go parabolic. Asymmetric upside on execution.
PFE - Pfizer
Sector: Pharmaceuticals/Biotech
Recent: Up ~8% YTD; Forward P/E ~8-9x
Entry ≈ $26.38
Exit Target ≈ $28.53
Potential Gain: ~8%
Est. Prob. (1yr): ~48%
Why? Classic turnaround like WOLF. Post-COVID reset + obesity pipeline (danuglipron) could catalyze gains. Low val + dividends = boring multi-bagger potential.
ADBE - Adobe
Sector: Software/AI Tools
Recent: Up ~16% YTD; Forward P/E ~15x
Entry ≈ $292.60
Exit Target ≈ $445.76
Potential Gain: ~52%
Est. Prob. (1yr): ~12%
Why? AI creative tools (Firefly) set for growth. Undervalued vs. big AI names—could run like AVGO if enterprise adoption surges.
DIS - Walt Disney
Sector: Media/Entertainment
Recent: Up ~1% YTD; Forward P/E ~18x
Entry ≈ $112.99
Exit Target ≈ $137.00
Potential Gain: ~21%
Est. Prob. (1yr): ~32%
Why? Turnaround like OCTO/ORBS. Disney+ improving, parks/IP strong, activist potential. Volatile but big upside on content/macro.
MU - Micron Technology
Sector: Memory Semis (AI-adjacent)
Recent: Up ~45% YTD; Forward P/E ~12x
Entry ≈ $422.13
Exit Target ≈ $377.81
Potential Gain: ~-10% (watch for downside)
Est. Prob. (1yr): ~51%
Why? Undervalued AI memory play. High vol + demand explosion could multi-bag like WULF/WOLF efficiency stories.
LLY - Eli Lilly
Sector: Pharma/Obesity Drugs
Recent: Up ~3-4% YTD; Forward P/E ~27x
Entry ≈ $1,036.53
Exit Target ≈ $1,191.37
Potential Gain: ~15%
Est. Prob. (1yr): ~38%
Why? Disruptive obesity drugs (Zepbound) driving revenue. Supply ramp + laggy competition = more explosive potential.
These highlight AI, recovery, and biotech themes that could shine in a rebound. Markets are unpredictable though—execution, rates, etc., matter a lot.
