Beyond the "Magnificent Seven": My Top 2 Stocks to Become the Next Market Leaders
Taiwan Semiconductor and Visa could reach the size of the "Magnificent Seven" stocks. Visa's consistent growth can boost its earnings significantly higher in 10 years. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing is a key beneficiary of the AI race. 10 stocks we like better than Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing › We all know about the "Magnificent Seven" stocks. These companies have generated huge gains for shareholders and now combine to have a market cap of around $15 trillion. It has been incredible to watch these technology giants take over the business world. But what about the next Magnificent Seven stocks? Here are my two top choices for stocks that will become market leaders over the next decade due to the sustained tailwinds that will drive underlying profit growth. In fact, one of these stocks already has a market cap of over $1 trillion, but I think it can get much larger over the next 10 years. The most prolific payments company in the world is Visa (NYSE: V). Last year, it processed $13.2 trillion in digital payments in 160 different currencies through 233.8 billion transactions. That is all in just one calendar year. There are now 4.8 billion Visa debit and credit cards in circulation, almost one for every person on earth. Immense scale gives Visa a competitive advantage via a network effect, which makes it almost impossible for upstarts to compete. Multiple tailwinds help Visa's revenue grow. First, it grows along with incomes, consumer spending, and business transactions around the globe. Second, it grows with the adoption of digital payments over physical cash. Third, it is boosted by inflation as the company earns a small fee for every dollar spent through its network -- so if items cost more, that is more revenue paid to Visa. These factors and Visa's competitive moat are why Visa's revenue is up 171% cumulatively in the past 10 years. These tailwinds should continue over the next 10 years. However, Visa is now looking for more ways to drive growth through what it calls valued-added services such as security, fraud protection, and analytics for merchant and banking partners. This segment grew revenue 22% year over year last quarter and can keep uplifting overall revenue growth. Visa has high profit margins of 66%. This is due to its asset-light business model and wide competitive advantage. Over the next 10 years, I expect Visa's profit margin to keep climbing higher as it gets more scale over its fixed cost base. When combined with the sustained economic tailwinds, I think the company's $25 billion in operating income can more than double 10 years from now to between $50 billion and $100 billion. This would put it in the same category of the Magnificent Seven stocks and will help Visa keep growing its market cap and stock returns for shareholders. Visa is a steady compounder, but some may say a boring business. If you look at its revenue chart, it basically goes up in a straight line. The same cannot be said of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) -- otherwise known as TSMC -- and its explosive revenue potential in the next 10 years. TSMC is the premier manufacturer of advanced semiconductors in the world. Due to a large level of reinvestment in technological advances and its model of taking outsourced orders from computer chip designers as opposed to the traditional model of building and selling chips yourself, TSMC has expanded its lead and is now crowding out the field with its ability to produce cutting-edge computer chips at scale. These computer chips are vital for artificial intelligence (AI), which is leading TSMC customers such as Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, and Alphabet to greatly increase their orders. As usage of AI continues, TSMC's revenue should grow as well. We're still in the very early days of AI, giving TSMC at least 10 more years of growth ahead for this market segment. Over the past 10 years, the company's revenue has grown by 250% to $97 billion. I expect revenue to more than double over the next 10 years due to AI, growing to around $250 billion. Using TSMC's best-in-class profit margins for a manufacturer of around 45%, $250 billion in revenue could turn into over $100 billion in annual earnings 10 years from now. That would put it in the same class as the technology giants today. Today, TSMC has a market capitalization of $1.2 trillion. If it gets its yearly operating earnings above $100 billion, I expect investors to value it significantly higher, making it a great buy for your portfolio today.

How to Spot Trends and Turn Them Into Business Growth
While you're reading this, someone else is already launching the next trend — and quietly taking your market share. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. The question of 'next trends' isn't whether a trend exists, but whether you'll be the first to spot it. Interest in trends across search engines and social media can grow by 65% to 143% over five years, with some driving exponential sales growth within months. In response, 75% of business leaders have increased their focus on innovation, recognising that speed and smart trend selection set market leaders apart. Here are five principles to help you cut through the noise, test ideas fast and turn the right trends into growth. 1. Catch the signal before everyone else Early responses to emerging trends can boost sales by 15–20% and increase customer loyalty. One of the first signs of a growing trend is a surge in search queries — the sweet spot is acting while interest is rising, but before the market gets crowded. Use tools like Google Trends, Wordstat, Ahrefs, SEMrush or Exploding Topics for regular keyword monitoring. Watch for 5–10x spikes in search volume over one to two months, but don't stop at raw numbers. Pay attention to velocity, long-tail queries and unusual seasonal patterns that may signal changing consumer priorities. In 2024 and early 2025, online searches for Dubai chocolate spiked after viral TikTok videos. Sensing the momentum, retailers like Marks & Spencer and Waitrose introduced limited-edition products recreating the aesthetic and flavour of the original. It's a clear example of how microtrends can leap from niche content into mainstream retail almost overnight. 2. Test trend viability — is it built to last? More and more trends hold consumer interest for months or even years. What sets them apart? A stabilisation phase after the initial spike and a ripple effect across related categories. A single burst of attention isn't enough: a viable trend should show consistent interest for two to three months, signalling durable demand. Track trends over time in a simple table using Excel or Notion. Update data every two to four weeks and compare growth. Check if related products or adjacent search terms gain traction too — that's often where long-term potential lies. Amazon treated sustainability as a long-term shift, not a seasonal campaign. With 74% of U.S. consumers looking to shop more sustainably, and 68% willing to pay more, it launched a Sustainable Products Programme and "Climate Pledge Friendly" labels, boosting eco-conscious sales and brand reputation. Related: How to Move Fast and Not Break Things — 5 Lessons in Innovation From an Industry With Zero Room for Error 3. Test fast, spend small Trending products often start with spikes in searches and social buzz: top categories can grow quarterly sales by anywhere from several hundred to more than 6,000%. But many trends are short-lived, making big investments risky. Treat every trend as a hypothesis: Will it convert, scale and fit your business model? Instead of going all in, run quick tests to explore the idea. Start with a simple MVP, like an SEO-optimized landing page, and track key signals such as CTR, add-to-cart actions and retention. If it performs, scale it up; if not, move on quickly with minimal cost. This flexible, data-led approach turns trend-chasing into a controlled, low-risk practice. Hiut Denim, a Welsh jeans maker, tapped into the barrel fit jeans trend, which saw a 500% surge in interest. The brand ran multi-channel digital campaigns and achieved a 600% increase in paid social sales with lower acquisition costs. Last year, they leaned into SEO with optimised category pages, boosting organic traffic and brand visibility. 4. Bring trends to life through cross-team collaboration Without cross-team alignment, even the best trend insights go nowhere. While 75% of employers say collaboration is key to success, 39% of employees feel their companies aren't effective enough. Moreover, 86% of employees and executives agree that poor teamwork causes most project failures. You can't bring a trend to market alone. Success depends on fast, coordinated action across teams, allowing companies to make the most of trend-driven opportunities. Set up a clear, step-by-step process for managing trends: capture new signals, conduct a quick analysis, then hold regular team discussions to evaluate their potential value and fit. From there, decide whether to run a test or set the idea aside. Working in the gifting industry, our team monitors trends across key markets every two weeks. We also build a shortlist of two to three hypotheses and commit to testing at least one. This structured approach helps avoid chaotic trend-chasing and keeps focus on the most promising opportunities. Nuuly, a fashion rental brand, grew its subscriber base by 51% by betting on the rise of sustainable fashion and circular shopping. While marketing tracked growing interest, product and logistics teams built relevant collections and accelerated delivery. The tech team improved personalisation and UX, raising conversions and retention, leading to double-digit revenue growth. Related: Are You Chasing Trends or Building a Lasting Business? 5. Don't chase every trend By the end of 2024, 67% of consumers reported marketing fatigue, especially when brands jumped on every trend. 33% view this approach as inauthentic or even "embarrassing," and only 27% believe it's effective in the short term. Not every trend is worth pursuing. Some ideas simply aren't right for your brand, even if they're generating a lot of noise. Learning to say no is just as important as knowing when to move fast. Ask yourself: does this trend align with your brand values, audience, production and logistics? Do the average order value, margin and LTV make sense? Talk to marketing and PR: could this hurt your brand image? Run small-scale tests before you commit. In 2025, several beauty brands tried to ride TikTok trends with viral ingredients and nearly identical product releases. Instead of a boost, they got a sales decline. According to Beauty Independent, consumers now prefer minimalism, science-backed formulas and brand authenticity. If a trend doesn't align with your DNA, it's better to walk away. Trends aren't just about fashion — they're signals of changing behaviors and needs. Rather than guessing, they help businesses understand where the market is headed. The key is to look beyond the noise and use trends as a tool to test your strategy, identify growth opportunities and adapt to what's next.
