The overlooked stocks that could shine in 2026

We were featured in Livewire's 2026 Outlook Series, where 10 fund managers examined the overlooked stocks positioned to shine this year.

The article highlighted how mega-cap stocks dominated equity market returns throughout 2025, while hundreds of quality companies were ignored. As market leadership broadens and fundamentals regain focus in 2026, these overlooked names can re-rate quickly.

One such stock is COVER Corporation, a Japanese talent agency for VTubers that we view as an interesting opportunity. As we explained in the article:

"COVER Corporation has demonstrated exceptional monetisation abilities. So when you're a streamer, you go from basically making most of your money from subscriptions and donations - to when you join COVER Corp, broadening that out to things like merchandising and live events and concerts and sponsorships," Armina Rosenberg said.

With the stock down 40% during a reinvestment phase, we see a compelling entry point for a business growing revenue 20-30% annually. Management has historically been conservative with guidance, and we believe the company could transform from a niche VTuber player into a global IP franchise.
