Top Long-Term Stocks 2026 — QMA ranking

High-quality firms for buy-and-hold portfolios — strong EQS (earnings quality), quality fundamentals, defensive business models.

Why this list

Long-term stocks are for investors with a 3+ year horizon. Key criterion: the company survives recessions. We filter via EQS ≥ 65 (Earnings Quality Score — Sloan accrual ratio, cash flow quality), FVS ≥ 60 (fair value), composite ≥ 70, and market cap ≥ $5B (mid-cap+ for stability).

This top long-term stocks ranking is assembled by the QMA analytical engine from the current composite score and this category's filters — sorted from the highest rating. Recomputed daily. It is not a backtest result. This is a descriptive analytical assessment, not investment advice.
