10 Top Stocks To Buy Now For June 2026

3. Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B)

5. Micron Technology (MU)

Nearly halfway through 2026, the stock market remains resilient. Despite geopolitical tensions, high gas prices and an inflation spike, corporate earnings remain strong and that’s keeping stock prices high.

Several analysts expect the good times to continue through year-end. Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, shared one of the most optimistic stock market outlooks, predicting the S&P 500 will reach 8,250 in 2026. Morgan Stanley targeted 8,000 and Goldman Sachs projected 7,600. Morgan Stanley’s prediction equates to 2026 growth of nearly 17%.

The S&P 500 is highly concentrated, with the top 30 companies accounting for more than 50% of the index. With that concentration, a 17% growth expectation also implies participation from the largest index constituents. For that reason, June’s best stocks are taken from the top 30 S&P 500 companies.

10 Top Stocks To Buy Now For June 2026

To narrow the top 30 S&P 500 stocks to a list of 10, I screened them on these criteria:

Forward PE ratio below 30. Forward PE ratio is a valuation measure based on the company’s earnings outlook. The threshold of 30 targets moderately valued companies, which tend to be less volatile than highly valued ones.

Free cash flow growth. Free cash flow funds growth, debt paydown, dividends and share buybacks. The metric is more difficult to manipulate than earnings, because it’s directly tied to the company’s cash balance. Free cash flow growth implies improving financial resilience.

Positive free cash flow per share. Free cash flow per share is a more comparable measure of financial flexibility, particularly for companies in the same industry.

More than 200 S&P 500 stocks met these parameters, and the largest 10 are included in the table below.
