According to The Tokenist, the Santa Claus rally—a historical stock market trend between late December and early January—has delivered an average 1.6% gain for the S&P 500 since 1926. The article highlights three discounted stocks potentially poised for growth in 2026: Pfizer (PFE), Newmont (NEM), and Utz Brands (UTZ). Pfizer, down 53% from its 2021 peak, is expanding R&D with a $70 billion investment and acquiring obesity drug firm Metsera for $10 billion. Newmont, a gold mining company, is trading below its Wall Street price target despite recent gains. Utz Brands, despite a Q3 net loss, is improving margins and expanding in the U.S. snack market.
