2 Top TSX Stocks to Buy Today for Long-Term Growth

XRP vs. Bitcoin: Which Cryptocurrency to Hold for the Next Decade

February 14, 2026, 9:59 AM EST. Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million coins and established role as a store of value position it strongly for the next 10 years. Its dominance as the largest cryptocurrency by market value supports long-term demand despite price volatility. XRP, on the other hand, aims to expand its role in payments, settlement, and institutional finance through the XRP Ledger. However, XRP faces intense competition in these fields that may challenge its growth. While both could be sound investments, Bitcoin's stable features favor holding through market downturns, whereas XRP must adapt significantly to thrive in the evolving crypto landscape.

Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) Viewed as Undervalued Amid Recent Share Price Slide

February 14, 2026, 9:55 AM EST. Cleveland-Cliffs shares have plunged around 29.5% in the past week and 23.7% year to date amid volatile sentiment in the steel and mining sectors. Despite this slump, Simply Wall St's valuation model assigns Clinton-Cliffs a strong score of 5 out of 6, highlighting potential undervaluation. Their Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests an intrinsic value near $28.53 per share – nearly three times the current trading price of roughly $10.38. This implies a 63.6% undervaluation based on forecasted cash flows for the next decade. Investors face a complex picture: recent cash flow losses weighed down current valuations, but forecasts show a recovery trajectory that may offer a strategic entry point for value seekers.

International Paper (IP) Stock Appears Significantly Undervalued Despite Recent Surge

February 14, 2026, 9:54 AM EST. International Paper (IP) has seen a 22% year-to-date rally, yet its share price remains 8.9% lower over one year, raising questions about its valuation. Analysis using a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model indicates the stock is 57.3% undervalued, estimating intrinsic value at $115.04 per share against current levels. This DCF considers projected free cash flow expected to rise to $3.6 billion by 2035. Despite recent positive momentum driven by growing investor interest in packaging and paper sectors, IP's longer-term returns, including a 45.3% rise over three years, trail peers. The stock's undervaluation highlights a potentially attractive entry point for investors focused on fundamentals rather than short-term price moves.

Institutions hold 28%, reflecting moderate institutional credibility in the company. Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers is the largest institutional shareholder with 9.9%. No single shareholder owns a majority, with 25 top owners collectively under 50%. The mix of investors suggests varied risks and opportunities for Ambiq Micro's stock. Institutional ownership typically adds some market validation but is not foolproof, as collective shifts in sentiment can impact share price sharply. Analysts' forecasts remain an important consideration for future performance.

ADF Group's Stock Soars 31% with Strong ROE and Earnings Growth

February 14, 2026, 9:26 AM EST. ADF Group Inc. (TSE:DRX) has surged 31% over three months, driven by solid financials.

This efficient capital use aligns with a robust 38% net income growth over five years, significantly outpacing the 16% industry growth.

Investors are weighing if the stock's current price already factors in this strong growth outlook, highlighting the importance of assessing intrinsic value for future investment decisions.

February 14, 2026, 9:24 AM EST. PrimeEnergy Resources (NASDAQ:PNRG) shares fell 11% this week but remain up 282% over five years, reflecting strong long-term returns. The energy firm turned profitable in that period, an inflection point supporting its price rise. Despite this year's 11% drop against a 12% market gain, five-year annualized returns average 31%. Investors should weigh recent volatility against the company's earnings per share growth. However, PrimeEnergy Resources shows two warning signs in investment analysis, suggesting caution. The recent decline may offer a buying opportunity for long-term investors, but the stock may not suit all portfolios. Market data and fundamentals merit close monitoring.

Activist investor Elliott Advisors has quietly amassed a significant stake in the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) and is pushing for a £5 billion share buyback to support shareholder returns.

CEO David Schwimmer's tenure saw the share price peak at £112 before falling to £75 amid AI-related fears.

Bitcoin Rebounds Above $70,000 After $8.7 Billion Loss Amid Market Fear

February 14, 2026, 9:13 AM EST. Bitcoin clawed back above $70,000, recovering from a sharp fall near $60,000 earlier in the month. The cryptocurrency gained nearly 5% in 24 hours, supported by a cooler U.S. inflation report sparking hopes for earlier interest rate cuts. Lower rates typically boost risk assets like cryptocurrencies. However, deep market anxiety persists with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index near extreme fear, similar to 2022's FTX collapse. Last week saw $8.7 billion in realized Bitcoin losses, marking significant investor capitulation. Analysts note the shift of holdings from weak to strong hands could stabilize markets over time but warn current rallies trigger sell-offs due to prevailing fear. Bitcoin treasury firms still hold over $16.9 billion in unrealized losses despite recent recovery, underscoring ongoing market fragility.

February 14, 2026, 9:11 AM EST. Investors in Avidbank Holdings (NASDAQ:AVBH) have enjoyed a 67% share price increase over five years, surpassing the broader market's 52% gain. However, the company's earnings per share (EPS) declined by 14% annually during this period.

The stock trades near analysts' price targets around $105, close to its last close of $105.07.

However, risks include potential project delays and regulatory hurdles on cost recovery. Entergy's price-to-earnings ratio stands at 26.3x, above the U.S. Electric Utilities average of 21.9x, suggesting limited margin for error. Investors should weigh growth prospects against these valuation and execution risks.

Yet, its current price-earnings ratio of 34.8x exceeds the US Machinery industry average of 29.9x and its fair P/E of 27.1x, signaling possible valuation risk. Crane's acquisition of PSI enhances exposure to advanced sensing and fluid control markets amid infrastructure upgrades and automation growth.

2 Defensive Dividend Stocks to Buy Amid Anticipated 2026 Market Correction

February 14, 2026, 8:36 AM EST. As a survey by Natixis Investment Managers shows 74% of institutional investors expect a market correction in 2026, AbbVie and Merck stand out as resilient options.

Both offer solid dividends well above the S&P 500 average, with AbbVie yielding 3.10% and Merck 2.99%, each raising payouts consistently for over a decade. Their long-term returns align closely with the S&P 500 but provide portfolio stability when markets zig and zag. Investors seeking downturn protection should consider these healthcare stalwarts.

Why Good U.S. Economic Data Failed to Spark Stock Market Rally

Consumer prices rose 2.4% year-over-year, the lowest in eight months, and core inflation eased to 2.5%. Yet, the S&P 500 ended the week flat.

Growth expectations hinge on operational efficiencies from vertical integration and acquisitions like Pacific Aerodynamic. Analysts highlight improved margins and earnings per share growth as drivers, but caution remains on demand shifts for legacy engines and execution risks under FTAI's asset-light SCI model. Investors are advised to consider the company's earnings prospects against valuation concerns before making decisions.

February 14, 2026, 7:21 AM EST. Centessa Pharmaceuticals (NasdaqGS:CNTA) shares closed at $24.71, gaining 11.86% over one month despite a 10.50% decline in three months.

The stock shows a high price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 12 times, exceeding the peer average of 9 and the US biotech average of 2.6, suggesting a premium valuation. However, Simply Wall St's discounted cash flow (DCF) model estimates a fair value of $139.88 per share, indicating significant upside. The discrepancy between the premium P/B ratio and the attractive DCF valuation points to investor uncertainty, hinging on Centessa's clinical pipeline execution and future cash flows. The company reported a loss of $242.7 million, underlining risks amid potential clinical and regulatory setbacks.

Despite this, the one-year total shareholder return hit 46.5%, and the three-year return reached 94%, highlighting better long-term performance. Trading at CA$2.93, Bitfarms is valued significantly below the community's fair value estimate of CA$8.48, reflecting optimism about its pivot to renewable-powered high-performance computing (HPC) and AI data centers. This strategic shift aligns with growing demand for green tech and potential for higher margins. However, risks include regulatory challenges and funding access. The company's price-to-sales ratio of 4.7x exceeds industry and peer averages, pointing to possible valuation concerns if market sentiment cools.

However, the firm's elevated debt remains a concern, highlighting the importance of managing leverage without compromising dividends.

The company trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 15.80, below the luxury industry average of 21.24, indicating it may be undervalued compared to peers. Deckers scored 5 out of 6 on Simply Wall St's valuation checklist, implying solid underlying fundamentals. This mixed valuation picture comes without major company-specific news but reflects differing investor views between short-term underperformance and longer-term growth potential.

Stock Market Risks in Year 2 of Trump's Second Term Highlighted by Historic Valuation Measures

February 14, 2026, 7:03 AM EST.Stock markets have surged during Donald Trump's presidencies, with major indexes posting strong gains in both terms.

However, the S&P 500's Shiller Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio – a measure adjusting earnings over 10 years for inflation – reached 40.35 on February 11, 2026. This is the second-highest level in 155 years, signaling an overvalued market similar only to the dot-com era. Historically, Shiller P/Es above 30 have preceded market downturns. While historical parallels don't guarantee outcomes, this highly elevated valuation raises concerns about a potential crash in year two of Trump's second term.

February 14, 2026, 6:49 AM EST. Palantir Technologies (PLTR) has been a standout growth stock, doubling its share price for three consecutive years, including a 340% gain in 2024.

Federal Reserve Divisions Spark Wall Street Confidence Crisis

February 14, 2026, 6:39 AM EST. Wall Street faces rising concerns as the Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) shows growing divisions over monetary policy. Since 2019, the S&P 500 has achieved historic gains, supported by tech innovation, robust earnings, and share buybacks. However, conflicting views among FOMC members about interest rate adjustments are stirring uncertainty. The Fed uses the federal funds rate to influence economic activity and inflation, but recent meetings have seen at least one member dissenting on rate decisions, highlighting disagreements unseen in Jerome Powell's earlier tenure.

February 14, 2026, 5:52 AM EST. Crude oil prices modestly recovered on Friday, with March WTI crude closing up 0.08% following a rebound from a 1.5-week low.
