By 2025, the stock market will experience an economic slowdown, and that is a good opportunity for investors looking to select long-term stocks with potential. I believe that buying during this kind of period is very important because prices are relatively lower than usual.

When it comes to long-term stocks, which ones are good? I think you should look at companies with stable businesses, capable of adapting to global market changes, and with high growth potential in the long run.

Let's look at some examples. Apple Inc. is one of the good options. This company was founded in 1976 and has developed into a technology leader. Products like iPhone, iPad, Mac, and various services are known worldwide. Apple has a strong customer base and an ecosystem that keeps users loyal. Recently, Apple’s market value reached $3.31 trillion, demonstrating the company's stability.

Another interesting option is NVIDIA. This company is a leader in AI technology, and their GPUs are used in developing deep learning models. However, in early 2025, the company faced challenges when Chinese AI startups developed AI models at lower costs. Still, NVIDIA remains a leader in the industry and focuses on developing AI, robotics, and autonomous vehicles.

Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, is also a suitable choice. The company divides its business into two segments: Google Services and Google Cloud. In 2025, Alphabet plans to invest about $75 billion to expand AI infrastructure, showing a commitment to future growth.

Microsoft is also a long-term stock that shouldn't be overlooked. This company offers a diverse range of products, from Windows and Microsoft Office to Azure, a cloud platform beneficial for businesses. Microsoft continues investing in developing new products.

Finally, Airbnb, a booking platform with over 4 million service providers worldwide, has expanded its services to cover all aspects of travel. It is investing between $200-250 million to launch new services.

When choosing long-term stocks, you need to consider multiple factors. Evaluate the company's financial position, whether it has competitive advantages, industry trends, innovation capabilities, and what long-term growth drivers it has. These drivers could include market expansion, new product launches, or international growth.

Valuation is also important. Look at price-to-earnings ratios and other valuation metrics to determine if the stock price is fair. Additionally, if you want income from your investments, seek companies that pay dividends and have a history of increasing dividend payments over time.

There are many ways to invest in long-term stocks. You can buy through a Thai broker, which allows investors to own stocks directly, or use a flexible, low-fee service app. The choice depends on each investor’s needs and financial situation.

From my experience, holding stocks long-term is a good strategy because it allows investors to focus on the growth potential of the business without worrying about short-term volatility. All the long-term stocks I’ve selected are companies capable of sustainable profit generation, with continuous business growth and potential for future expansion.
