 You can feel it, can’t you? Something big just broke... Not the stock market, not the banks… something deeper. The numbers say everything’s fine… but it doesn’t feel fine, does it? The cost of living keeps rising. The divide keeps widening. The anger keeps building. Listen, I’ve spent three decades studying financial systems, and I’ve never seen pressure like this. It’s as if the old order of the economy has cracked and something new is forcing its way through. Most people can’t see it yet. But they sense it. They feel it in their gut. I’ve pulled on that thread for the past year, and what I’ve uncovered is bigger than anything I’ve ever reported. And it’s happening much faster than anyone imagines. I explain everything in my new documentary. ➡ Watch it here before it’s too late for you. Good investing, Porter Stansberry
Sunday's Exclusive Content These 3 Turnaround Contenders Could Be Set for a Big 2026 BreakAuthor: Nathan Reiff. Article Published: 1/5/2026. 
Quick Look- 2026 may be a breakout year for companies like Royal Caribbean, Take-Two Interactive, and Airbnb after years of post-pandemic rebuilding.
- Royal Caribbean and Take-Two are well-positioned for strong performance, driven by travel demand and major content launches, such as GTA VI.
- Airbnb’s fundamentals are improving, but regulatory headwinds and cautious analyst sentiment suggest a more risk-sensitive setup.
2026 could be a breakout year for several companies that have spent recent years rebuilding or preparing for a recovery. Headwinds from reduced demand, pandemic travel disruptions, delayed launches and other factors have constrained these firms' ability to maximize capital appreciation and win back investor attention. These turnaround contenders—some of which have already performed well in recent quarters despite those challenges—could deliver even bigger gains this year if circumstances remain favorable. Post-Pandemic Return to Travel Demand and Spending Trends Could Boost Royal CaribbeanLess than 0.2% of investors know this market exists...

Like all cruise operators, Royal Caribbean Cruises (NYSE: RCL) was hit hard by COVID-related travel stoppages and weak demand. In recent years demand has rebounded and shares have climbed roughly 275% over the last five years. Management said bookings in the latest reported quarter grew year-over-year (YOY) at "the high end of historical ranges." Royal Caribbean's momentum in 2026 will depend on sustained consumer spending—not only on cruise bookings but also on onboard purchases, which have risen in recent years. That, in turn, hinges on broader consumer sentiment amid ongoing economic uncertainty and on continued interest from younger travelers. If Millennials and Gen Z continue to prioritize experiences over big-ticket purchases such as homes, it could support further growth for Royal Caribbean. So far the company appears on track. Management raised full-year 2025 guidance for adjusted earnings per share (EPS) to $15.58–$15.63, roughly a one-third increase year over year. Management also expects near-term operating cash flow of about $6 billion, though higher taxes and fuel costs could temper that outlook. After reinstating its pandemic-paused dividend in 2024, Royal Caribbean now yields 1.44%. That income plus improving fundamentals helps explain why 20 analysts are optimistic about the stock and why they see upside potential of nearly 15%. Take-Two's Next Blockbuster Could Drive Strong Growth Into 2026Take-Two Interactive Software (NASDAQ: TTWO) is one of the few pure-play video game companies publicly traded. The industry experienced turbulence recently, including a right-sizing many firms undertook after pandemic-era expansion and a wave of acquisitions. Take-Two has navigated those headwinds reasonably well despite timing questions around releases and is expected to sustain strong net bookings growth. In its fiscal second quarter, ended September 2025, the company posted record second-quarter net bookings near $2 billion and raised guidance to $6.4–$6.5 billion. Its revenue mix has improved thanks to recurring spending on live services and strong performance from the NBA 2K franchise. What makes 2026 potentially pivotal for Take-Two is the expected release of the next Grand Theft Auto title. Despite delays, GTA VI is still widely anticipated for November 2026. If it meets or exceeds expectations, the game could boost both upfront sales and live-service revenue, improve margins and continue the company's booking momentum. Improving Fundamentals Could Drive Resurgence in ABNB Shares, But Caution Is WarrantedShares of short-term lodging marketplace Airbnb Inc. (NASDAQ: ABNB) faced a rocky 2025 amid shifting regulations in key cities, changing travel habits and questions about brand trust. The stock finished the year up only about 3%. Despite recently missing EPS estimates in its latest quarterly report, Airbnb delivered 10% YOY revenue growth, record adjusted EBITDA and $1.3 billion in free cash flow, signaling underlying strength. Airbnb could stage a turnaround in 2026 as it invests in new initiatives to broaden its offerings, including bundled services that expand revenue potential beyond traditional lodging. Analysts project nearly 16% earnings growth for the year and see modest upside of roughly 6%, though they remain generally cautious on ABNB ratings. The stock may merit a closer look from investors who are comfortable with higher risk in pursuit of potential gains.
