Wednesday's Bonus Article 3 Emerging Market Stocks to Buy and Hold for 2026By Thomas Hughes. Posted: 12/23/2025. 
Quick Look- DLocal is well-positioned as a fintech in emerging markets, streamlining e-commerce for business and consumers.
- Grab Holdings is monetizing its platform as it expands and penetrates with services including ride-hailing, delivery, and autonomous vehicles.
- Arco Dorados' digital transformation is driving results and is expected to underpin growth and margin recovery.
2026 should be a strong year for emerging markets (EMs). They are forecast to lead global growth, with gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the 4% to 4.5% range, supported by expanding middle classes and rising digital adoption. For investors, that backdrop matters because GDP growth supports "everyday economy" companies in fast-growing regions: payments, mobility, delivery, and value-oriented consumer brands. The three stocks below offer different ways to tap emerging-market consumer spending without relying on a single country's cycle. DLocal Provides Fintech Services Throughout the Emerging LandscapeThe same seven red flags that preceded the 1929 crash, '70s stagflation, and the 2008 meltdown are all flashing together right now — long before the headlines catch up. Our free Bellwether Signal Report breaks down each warning in plain language and explains why more Americans are shifting from vulnerable paper assets into hard assets like gold and silver IRAs. If you want to stay ahead of the next major market turn, now is the time to act.

Its cross-border services enable easier access for consumers, increasing satisfaction while streamlining operations for companies. DLocal's 2025 highlights include accelerating revenue growth, improving profitability, and record-setting free cash flow, with metrics pointing to continued strength in 2026. Total payment volume reached a record in 2025 and is expected to set another record in 2026. Analyst trends are highlighting the stock's value. DLocal has seen increased coverage and upward revisions to price targets, with the consensus target implying about 15% upside and the high end pointing to roughly 50%. Analysts at firms including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and HSBC cite the new CEO, turnaround efforts, improved financial clarity, and confidence in long-term growth as reasons for the constructive view. Headwinds remain, but catalysts are also ahead — notably the 2026 World Cup, which is expected to boost travel, tourism, fan-based purchases, and gambling across many emerging markets. 
Grab Holdings On Track to Become AV Leader in Southeast AsiaGrab Holdings (NASDAQ: GRAB) is a Southeast Asian "superapp" that provides ride-hailing, delivery, and fintech services. The company's growth is supported by first-mover advantages in underpenetrated markets and aggressive investments in new technology. Among the technologies Grab is testing are autonomous vehicles. When approved, Grab would be positioned to be the first to offer autonomous transportation services in the region. In the meantime, the company has sustained double-digit growth, moved toward profitability, and continues to receive supportive analyst coverage. Grab saw numerous price target increases in Q4 2025. For this Moderate Buy-rated stock, analysts expect roughly 22% upside on consensus, with some high-end estimates calling for as much as 35% upside. Analysts point to the successful monetization of the superapp, the company's pivot to profitability, expanding services, and ongoing user growth as reasons to remain bullish. They forecast a sustained ~30% revenue CAGR through the early part of the next decade, compounded by improving margins. If Grab meets those expectations, trading at about four times its projected 2035 earnings could look like a bargain for patient investors. 
Arco Dorados: The McDonald’s of Latin AmericaArco Dorados (NYSE: ARCO) is the world's largest independent McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) franchisee, operating across Latin America and the Caribbean. The stock struggled in 2025 due to margin compression but appears set to rebound in 2026. Management is targeting sustained growth while rebuilding margins through a robust digital transformation. The company's strategy — often described as the Four D's: Digital, Delivery, Drive-thru, and Development — aims to lift traffic, convenience, and store-level economics. Upgrades and technology investments, including enhanced loyalty programs, improved traffic and customer satisfaction in late 2025, and those gains are expected to continue into the coming year. Arco Dorados is a solid addition to an EM portfolio not only for growth and its blue-chip association, but also for income. The stock pays a reliable dividend that can help reduce portfolio volatility and boost total returns over time. Arco also provides investors with exposure to McDonald's operations in the region at an attractive valuation and a higher yield than the parent company.
