Have you ever noticed that during market contractions, it actually becomes a golden opportunity for smart investors? This year, the economy has truly slowed down, but it also presents us with the chance to select long-term investment stocks at better prices than before.

When it comes to long-term investing, I focus only on companies with strong fundamentals, high growth potential, and the ability to adapt well to global market changes. Let’s take a look at which stocks are worth following right now.

Starting with Apple. This company is a classic example of a business with a robust ecosystem, from iPhone to iPad, Mac, and various services. These have built a large loyal user base. The stock price is around $221, with a market cap of over $3 trillion. What’s interesting is the major software updates coming soon, which could enhance user experience.

Next is NVIDIA, another key player to watch. This company leads in AI technology, which is currently the biggest trend. Although earlier this year there was news that DeepSeek from China entered the market and caused shockwaves, NVIDIA remains a leader. The stock price is $115, with a market value of about $2.8 billion. The company continues to focus on developing AI, robotics, and autonomous vehicles.

Alphabet (Google) is also an important long-term investment stock. The company has invested approximately $75 billion in AI fundamentals to stay ahead. Its stock price is $164, with a market cap of over $2 trillion. An advantage is that Alphabet’s PE ratio is lower than competitors, making it seem undervalued at the moment.

Microsoft shouldn’t be overlooked either. It has a diverse portfolio of products, from Windows and Microsoft 365 to Azure, a cloud platform that gives the company access to many large markets. The stock price is $381, with a market cap of over $2.8 trillion. Recently, they launched new features in Microsoft 365 to enhance collaboration.

Finally, Airbnb, a leader in the short-term travel market. Its stock price is $125. The company is expanding its services to cover all aspects of travel, like an “Amazon of travel,” as they say.

When choosing stocks for long-term investment, many factors should be considered: assess the company’s financial health, competitive ability, industry trends, innovation capacity, and future growth drivers. Look at PE ratios, PEG ratios, and other valuation metrics to determine if the price is reasonable.

For investing, there are various methods. Some prefer buying actual stocks through Thai brokers, owning them outright for long-term holding, though this requires a high initial capital. Others use service apps that are more flexible, or derivatives like CFDs for liquidity and lower costs, but these do not involve owning the actual shares.

In summary, holding stocks long-term is a good strategy to achieve solid returns without worrying about short-term volatility. The companies discussed here have strong fundamentals, continuous growth, and future potential, making them suitable for long-term holding. However, investors should do further research and seek perspectives from other sources to make informed decisions.
