My growth-oriented pick entering 2026 is Prologis Inc. (PLD), the global leader in logistics real estate. With roughly 1.3 billion square feet of warehouses in high-barrier, high-growth markets worldwide, Prologis sits at the center of the global movement of goods and functions as essential infrastructure, highlights Nikolaos Sismanis, analyst at Sure Retirement.

My income-focused pick for 2025 is Bermuda-based shipping giant SFL Corp. (SFL). Interestingly, this was also my top income idea back in 2022 when the shares were trading at just over $8. The pick performed exceptionally well, delivering a total return of 24.4% that year through dividends and capital gains, writes Nikolaos Sismanis, analyst at Sure Retirement.

My growth-oriented pick entering 2025 is Meta Platforms Inc. (META). As the undisputed global leader in social media and digital advertising, Meta has created an unparalleled ecosystem that thrives on exceptional network effects and the potential for immense economies of scale, observes Nikolaos Sismanis, analyst at Sure Retirement.

Equinix Inc. (EQIX) is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) that specializes in data centers. Customers of EQIX include telecommunications carriers, mobile and network service providers, cloud and IT service providers, digital media and content providers, and financial services companies, highlights Nikolaos Sismanis, analyst at Top 10 REITs.
