5 Stocks Trading at a Discount with Strong Long-Term Upside Potential
$META - Meta Platforms
Over the past two decades, Meta has built one of the most powerful digital ecosystems in the world, anchored by three of the most widely used consumer platforms ever created. Billions of people interact with Meta’s applications every day, creating an unparalleled combination of user engagement, network effects, and proprietary data that few competitors can realistically replicate.
The company is building a massive AI infrastructure layer on top of that foundation. Through investments in AI, messaging, commerce, creator tools, and mixed reality, Meta is evolving from a social media company into a full-stack AI ecosystem almost impossible to copy.
Meta continues to deliver exceptional engagement across its family of apps:
• 3.56 billion daily active users (+4% YoY) across its ecosystem
• Instagram surpassed 3 billion monthly active users and remains Meta’s strongest engagement engine
• Threads reached 150 million daily active users, with time spent increasing 10% QoQ
• Video watch time increased 10% YoY on Instagram and 8% YoY on Facebook
• Reels’ annualized revenue run rate now exceeds $50 billion.
Meta’s Advantage+ advertising platform continues to gain momentum. Ad impressions increased 19% YoY and average price per ad rose 12% YoY, processing more than $60 billion in annual advertising spends.
The company is also rapidly expanding its AI ecosystem. WhatsApp and Messenger AI agents now generate millions of monthly conversations, with particularly strong adoption in Mexico, India, and the Philippines.
Meta AI has surpassed 1 billion monthly active users, while more than 20 billion images have been created using Llama 4 tools and Meta’s creator-focused AI suite, representing a tenfold increase since September 2025.
Reality Labs generated $402 million in revenue and could approach profitability by 2027–2028 if AI-powered wearables achieve mass-market adoption.
Meta increasingly resembles a foundational AI consumer platform where advertising, AI agents, commerce, content creation, and hardware converge into a deeply integrated ecosystem. If management successfully executes its AI strategy, Meta could emerge as one of the defining AI platform companies of the next decade.
My Top 5 High-Conviction Bets for the Next 2-3 Years
$ONDS - Ondas
Ondas has pulled back around 17% in the last three months, but it offers some of the highest upside potential on this list. I initiated my position around $8.60 and I see a path to $50+ over the next 3 years if execution stays strong.
Ondas is no longer just a drone company. It is rapidly building a fully integrated "System of Systems" autonomous defense and security platform that combines hardware, software, AI, and connectivity across multiple domains.
Its key products include:
- Iron Wave: Integrated autonomous defense solution utilizing UGVs and rapid deployment capabilities.
- Dual Shield: Modular truck-mounted counter-UAS system for layered mobile defense.
- MODUS: Modular low-altitude protection system for dismounted forces.
- Scout Cyber-over-RF: Mobile counter-drone solution designed for rapidly deployable field protection.
- Iron Arrow: Long-range interceptor platform.
- LADOS: A layered autonomous defense command-and-control platform that manages the entire mission cycle, from detection and decision-making to execution and assessment.
Ondas continues strengthening its AI and autonomous capabilities through its partnership with Palantir Technologies, enabling greater data integration, operational efficiency, and global deployment opportunities.
The company recently delivered one of the strongest quarters in its history. Q1 revenue exceeded the high end of prior guidance by approximately 25%, and Q1 revenue alone surpassed the company's entire FY2025 revenue.
Ondas possesses one of the largest growth pipelines among emerging defense technology companies. Backlog exceeded $450 million following the acquisitions of World View and Mistral in April.
By Q3 2026, Ondas is expected to complete the acquisition of Cyberhawk for approximately $125 million, significantly expanding its critical infrastructure intelligence business. Cyberhawk brings more than 300 customers in 40 countries, 500,000+ inspected assets, 232 TB of data, and a strong $95M backlog.
Ondas remains a high-risk, high-reward opportunity. However, if they successfully convert its pipeline into recurring, high-margin revenue streams, the company could evolve into one of the most compelling emerging defense technology platforms over the next decade.

$GRAB - Grab Holdings Limited
Among the companies on this list, Grab may be the most misunderstood. Despite building one of Southeast Asia’s most dominant digital ecosystems, the stock still trades nearly 70% below its all-time highs.
Grab is the clear leading super app in Southeast Asia, integrating ride-hailing, food/grocery delivery, digital payments, banking, lending, insurance, and wealth management into one seamless platform.
The company maintains dominant market positions across several key markets, including Singapore and Malaysia. They control approximately 70% share of the regional ride-hailing market and 55% share of food delivery across core markets.
Southeast Asia remains one of the most attractive long-term growth regions. Young population, rising middle class, high smartphone penetration, and still-underpenetrated digital/financial services create one of the best structural growths globally.
In its latest quarter, Grab gross loan portfolio reached $1.3 billion, with net loans at $1.2 billion. Deposits grew to 7.4 million customers across its digital banks in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. These results were achieved primarily through ecosystem distribution rather than expensive customer acquisition spending.
Grab is also positioning itself for the future of autonomous mobility through partnerships with WeRide and multiple government-backed pilot programs.
Additionally, the acquisition of Stash expands Grab's wealth management capabilities and accelerates its long-term fintech strategy.
Our average purchase price is $4.10. I believe the stock has strong potential to exceed $10 over the next 2–3 years as investors increasingly recognize the long-term opportunity presented by Southeast Asia's digital economy.
$AMZN - Amazon
Amazon is the mature mega-cap in this list. Despite strong fundamentals, the stock has been relatively flat over the past year, despite Amazon’s moat is one of the widest in business, built on unmatched scale, vertical integration, and powerful network effects across multiple interconnected businesses.
AWS continues serving as one of the foundational pillars of global cloud infrastructure. In Q1 2026 alone, AWS generated approximately $37.6 billion in revenue, growing 28% YoY, while continuing to expand its AI capabilities and enterprise integrations.
Amazon's proprietary AI infrastructure is scaling rapidly. Trainium2 chips are ramping faster than any previous AWS silicon platform and deliver 30%–40% better price-performance than many traditional GPU alternatives. Capacity is already nearly fully reserved, supported by approximately $225 billion in commitments.
Project Kuiper (Amazon Leo) represents a high-conviction opportunity. Similar to how Starlink expanded SpaceX's addressable market, Kuiper could become a major driver of long-term value creation.
Amazon Leo vertically integrated LEO satellite constellation. Amazon designs its own satellites, terminals, and networking, creating deep synergies with AWS and extending cloud/edge capabilities globally (rural, aviation, maritime, IoT).
Also, the broader Amazon ecosystem remains exceptionally powerful. It's more than 250 million global Prime members create one of the strongest recurring revenue and cross-selling ecosystems in the world, spanning retail, advertising, logistics, streaming, grocery, and digital services.
Advertising is also becoming a major profit engine, with Prime Video ads now reaching approximately 315 million users globally.
Amazon is evolving into one of the world’s most important AI, cloud, commerce, and infrastructure platforms. The ecosystem creates enormous switching costs and reinvestment opportunities.
I hold Amazon as one of my largest long-term positions with an average cost around $200. I believe the stock has the potential to exceed $500 over the next 2–3 years as AWS, AI, and Leo compound and the market rewards its durable multi-sided moat.
