The essentials
  • Nasdaq-listed service Stock Advisor highlights 10 stock recommendations as of July 2026.
  • A 2004 Netflix recommendation generated a 904% return for subscribers.
  • SoFi Technologies did not make the current top 10 list.
  • Chewy is among the stocks currently recommended by Motley Fool analysts.

More than two decades ago, in 2004, the Stock Advisor team suggested investors look closely at Netflix. A $1,000 investment would have grown to an impressive $370,332 by July 2026. This outcome is based on July 23, 2026, data that includes all reinvested dividends over the years.

The Stock Advisor approach has always been focused on selecting strong, high-growth stocks that retail investors can access. Over time, the service has seen an average return of 904% since 2004, which is much better than the S&P 500’s 208%. While not every recommendation has turned out perfectly, the team has maintained a clear focus on opportunities with solid long-term potential.

In the latest top 10 list, SoFi Technologies, a fintech company that debuted on the market in 2021, was not chosen. The team now appears to be focusing more on industries such as e-commerce and semiconductors. Instead, Motley Fool analysts continue to back Chewy, a pet care business that has consistently performed well since 2021.

Parkev Tatevosian, a certified financial analyst and content creator connected to The Motley Fool, regularly promotes Stock Advisor through his own channel. He discloses he does not personally own any of the stocks included in the service’s recommendations. However, he does receive financial compensation from referral links, according to his full disclosure policy.
