UBS Top Picks for 2026: Stocks, Real Estate, and Gold

UBS predicts a period of 'selective growth' for 2026, with positive outlooks for real estate, technology, utilities, and industrials. The bank recommends diversification and hedging market risks. It anticipates a 5% earnings increase in 2026 and a further 15-20% rise in 2027. Furthermore, UBS has raised its gold price target to $5,000 per ounce for the first three quarters of 2026, forecasting increased demand due to economic and political uncertainties. The bank suggests a range of stocks with high potential returns, including Amazon, UnitedHealth Group, and PepsiCo.
