Amidst global economic fluctuations and interest rate policy changes, a number of leading stocks have shown resilient performance and promising long-term prospects.
The following 7 stocks are considered worthy of entering the watchlist of novice investors, because they have strong fundamentals, high growth potential, and support from large financial institutions that make them relatively safer to collect in the initial phase of investing.
1. Nvidia (NVDA)
Nvidia stock is still a market darling thanks to its dominance in the artificial intelligence sector. After rising nearly 41% throughout 2025, NVDA is now in the “buy zone” phase above the ideal entry point of $184.48 (Rp3.06 million). The stock had strong support at the 50-day moving average area, signaling that buying interest is still high.
Fundamentally, Nvidia delivered outstanding profit growth – up an average of 53% over the last three quarters. Their latest series of chips, Blackwell, is still the most superior AI product in the market.
According to Bank of America, NVDA’s target price could reach $235 (Rp3.89 million), driven by high demand from tech giants such as Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and Google.
2. Quanta Services (PWR)
Construction and energy company Quanta Services is now one of the most attractive stocks in the infrastructure sector. The stock is moving close to its $424.94 buy point after posting a 33% gain so far this year.
The company’s profit performance has also been outstanding, growing by an average of 34% in the last three quarters.

6. JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)
JPMorgan Chase is one of the world’s largest banks and financial services companies with total assets approaching $4 trillion. In 2023, JPMorgan strengthened its position in the US banking sector by acquiring First Republic Bank, after the bank collapsed due to the regional banking crisis and was taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
Analyst Stephen Biggar considers this acquisition move to be a big advantage for JPMorgan because it provides a significant amount of additional deposits and healthy loans, while expanding services for the high-net-worth client segment . Biggar even called JPMorgan the top stock of choice among major US banks.
7. Caterpillar Inc. (CAT)
Caterpillar is known as the world’s largest manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, and is one of the companies that has remained resilient amid global economic pressures. Analyst Ruggeri thinks Caterpillar has experienced management and a strong balance sheet, making it one of the most prepared stocks to compete as economic growth slows and inflation remains high.
Despite a drop in global sales in 2024, Caterpillar recorded its highest earnings per share (EPS) in history and improved operating margins. Ruggeri also emphasized that the company’s management remains optimistic about achieving its 2025 targets, including revenue growth, operating margin, and cash flow, even considering the negative impact of the new US tariffs on China.
