Stocks to Buy in February 2026. Part I.


Coinbase (COIN)

Price target: Unlock

Second PT: Unlock

Starting a small position in this when entering and scaling up closer to our support points if it gives a further pullback. Might take time to come around while the crypto market gains traction again. 

After years of uncertainty, the cryptocurrency market has finally gained an administration that supports mass adoption and aims to legitimize the industry, not just in the U.S., but globally. Early in his term, President Trump signed an executive order titled “Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Finance Technology.” This made clear that federal policy would promote the responsible growth and use of digital assets and blockchain technology. Shortly after (in early 2025), the administration issued an order to establish a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, signaling a high level of government involvement in holding digital assets alongside traditional reserves. 

Then came the GENIUS Act, which is the most major piece of stablecoin legislation. This was signed into law and developed the first comprehensive federal framework for stablecoins. The months that followed after this became law were tough for crypto, and there’s still a lot of pressure on the high risk market as a whole. But why? This was supposed to legitimize the industry, not drive it its valuation lower. While it’s true that the GENIUS Act aims to legitimize crypto, the flip side to that is new regulation and scrutiny from government agencies. The early days are filled with uncertainty, making the near-term price action unstable, but long term, this helps reinforce the crypto industry.

Where does Coinbase land in all this? 

A major headwind for Coinbase has historically been regulatory uncertainty, hence why the company has called the GENIUS Act a “game changer” as it offers much needed clarity and structure around stablecoins. Coinbase’s familiar name has made them the largest U.S. based crypto exchange by trading volume, number of verified users, and institutional adoption. 

As for financial performance, the company’s revenue shifts back and forth depending on crypto market volatility and cycles, but the overall business is growing in a healthy direction. Their balance sheet has expanded in equity and free cash flow has topped $3 billion. The stock on the other hand has been but by half in valuation, now trading at a price to earnings ratio of just 19x. That’s significantly lower than the S&P 500’s average of about 29x, an unusually low premium to pay for a high growth company. 

Risk:

Coinbase remains highly sensitive to cryptocurrency market cycles, with revenue and profitability closely tied to trading volumes and asset prices. While regulatory clarity has improved, future policy changes or shifts in enforcement could still impact the company’s business model, and increasing competition from global and decentralized exchanges may pressure margins over time.

Canadian Solar (CSIQ)

Price target: Unlock

Second PT: Unlock

The future that many technology companies are building toward will require an unprecedented surge in energy consumption, leaving developed nations urgently searching for reliable power sources. In the U.S. alone, electricity demand is projected to rise 25% by 2030, (ICF International) with no signs of slowing as innovation accelerates.

Three primary forces are driving this demand: data centers, advanced manufacturing, and the electrification of transportation. The growing need for computing power, fueled by artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure, and cryptocurrency mining, is rapidly becoming one of the largest contributors to energy consumption, reshaping the way power is produced, distributed, and stored. A classic solution to rising energy demand is solar, which many overlook, but we believe it deserves some attention. 

In the first half of 2025, global solar capacity soared, with new installations growing 64% from the same period last year (full 2025 data hasn’t been released yet). Solar attracts both consumers and businesses as it is now the cheapest form of new electricity generation in most regions, and unlike nuclear or fossil fuel plants, solar projects can be deployed in months, not years. This has become so popular that 96% of new demand is being met by solar, not coal or gas. Existing fossil infrastructure still dominates current generation, but the growth curve is overwhelmingly solar.

We initiated coverage on $TAN, the Invesco Solar ETF that holds many of the most popular solar companies on the market. Last week, $TAN reached our second price target thanks to the help of a few big names it holds, but we noticed that many of the smaller names haven’t really caught up to the rally. With 2026 proving to be the year of the small-caps so far, $CSIQ stands out as a potential opportunity at just $1.50 billion in market cap. The company’s backlog holds 4-5% of last year’s global solar installations, and their battery storage puts them in the same league as the largest global storage players.

Headwinds:

That said, investors should keep in mind several headwinds. Policy risks remain front and center, with U.S. tariffs on Chinese solar imports creating uncertainty for global supply chains. The company itself is also still small and has a high level of debt. Their current backlog is promising and gives some visibility into the future, but not enough to call it a “buy and forget” type hold. We want to see them land more contracts and improve efficiency to continue our interest.

MercadoLibre (MELI)

Price target: Unlock

Second PT: Unlock

MercadoLibre operates the largest e-commerce marketplace in Latin America, connecting a vast network of over 150 million active users across 18 countries. Beyond its core marketplace, the company has built an ecosystem of complementary businesses, including shipping solutions (Mercado Envios), digital payments and financing (Mercado Pago), advertising services (Mercado Clics), classifieds, and a turnkey e-commerce solution (Mercado Shops). It generates revenue through multiple streams, such as final value fees, advertising royalties, payment processing, subscription fees, and interest income from consumer and small business lending.

Often compared to a young Amazon, MercadoLibre has expanded beyond e-commerce to establish itself as a technology driven company. Its leadership has introduced advanced software solutions, including Fury, an Internal Developer Platform that provides a unified, self-service environment for developers to efficiently build, deploy, manage, and monitor applications. The company also operates MeliCloud, a cloud infrastructure platform designed to enhance scalability.

From a financial perspective, MercadoLibre’s growth has been nothing short of remarkable. The company has delivered 27 consecutive quarters of revenue growth exceeding 30%, while profitability has surged over the past four years as it gained pricing power and captured greater market share. With Latin America’s e-commerce and digital banking adoption still in the early stages, this represents a multi-decade opportunity for companies that can establish themselves as foundational players in the region. MercadoLibre is among the leaders and continues to add new ways of deeply rooting the business into the area. 

Risk: 

Despite MercadoLibre’s strong growth, the stock is not without risk. The company operates across emerging markets in Latin America, where currency volatility, political instability, and regulatory changes can impact earnings. Increased competition from global and regional players in both e-commerce and fintech could pressure pricing power over time.
