Morningstar's Dave Sekera recommends buying core stocks with significant competitive advantages, predictable cash flows, and adept management. Two core stocks to buy and hold in 2026 are Campbell's (CPB) and Guidewire Software (GWRE). Campbell's has shifted its portfolio mix and driven efficiencies, with low-single-digit sales growth and mid- to high-single-digit EPS growth forecast. Guidewire has built a wide economic moat with its cloud-based software solutions, with a five-year revenue growth rate of 15% forecast. Both stocks are undervalued, with Campbell's worth $60 per share and Guidewire worth $210 per share.
