  • Five TSX Stocks to Hold for the Next Decade
    January 17, 2026, 11:30 AM EST. The Motley Fool Canada argues five TSX stocks offer durable franchises for the next decade. RBC anchors Canadian portfolios. As the country's largest bank, it benefits from scale, diversification and steady dividend growth, though its P/E trades near 2010 levels, suggesting a pullback entry may be prudent. CNQ stands out in a resilient energy mix, with long-life reserves and disciplined capital allocation; it pays about a 5.3% dividend and traded around $44.62 at writing, roughly 15% below consensus target. BIP.UN owns inflation-linked cash flows across utilities, pipelines and data centres, with a roughly 5.0% yield and a 14% discount to fair value. BAM leans on an asset-light model in alternative assets, positioning for long-term growth as investors lean into real assets. The fifth stock isn't named in the excerpt.
