WallStreetBets’ Top Stock Picks for 2026 (and How They Score on AltIndex)

December 26, 5:00 am

After Reddit investors built a crowd-sourced stock portfolio that delivered a 76% return in 2025, attention is back on WallStreetBets as the community debates which stocks could lead the market in 2026. The portfolio was created by tallying the most upvoted stock picks from the discussion, and this year’s thread has once again formed a high-signal watchlist based on where retail conviction is strongest.

At AltIndex, we downloaded and analyzed the top posts on Reddit where investors discussed their top picks for 2026 and aggregated the most upvoted tickers. The result is a ranked list of the most upvoted stocks for 2026, plus each stock’s current price and our AltIndex AI Score.

How to Read This Table

• Upvotes (Total) is the sum of upvotes across the top comments that mentioned the ticker.
• AltIndex AI Score is our 0–100 score that blends alternative data signals and financial health into one simple snapshot.
• Price is the current stock price from our dataset attached to this analysis.

What Stands Out

The WSB crowd is leaning into a mix of mega-cap leaders (AMZN, GOOG), high-interest growth names (RKLB, ASTS, NBIS), and retail-favorite narratives tied to platforms and sentiment (RDDT), plus a handful of smaller, higher-volatility ideas (POET, PATH).

The interesting part is not just which tickers “won,” but how the crowd’s conviction (upvotes) lines up with AltIndex signals (AI Score). In this list, NBIS (75) and RKLB (72) stand out with the strongest AI Scores, while some of the most loved picks by upvotes have more mixed AI Score readings today.
