He holds about 45 stocks and ETFs in total, with these ten names comprising 44% of his portfolio; he does not plan to sell but intends to use new deposits to diversify smaller positions and notes Vanguard ETFs (VOO, VTWO, VNQ) would rank among his largest if included. Frankel summarizes concise investment theses—SoFi’s improved profitability, MercadoLibre’s e‑commerce and fintech runway, GM’s EV scale, Realty Income’s 5.7% yield and Kinsale’s specialty-insurance margins—and discloses he and The Motley Fool hold many of the cited positions.
Motley Fool CFP Matt Frankel discloses his top-10 individual stock holdings heading into 2026, led by SoFi Technologies, which is now his largest position after rising about 400% from his cost basis. He holds roughly 45 total stocks and ETFs, and these ten names represent 44% of account value; he states he does not plan to sell but will use new deposits to diversify smaller positions. The note highlights individual investment theses: MercadoLibre as a long runway for e-commerce and fintech in Latin America, General Motors as the No. 2 U.S. EV manufacturer positioned to benefit from lower rates, Realty Income as a 5.7% yielding REIT with 15,000+ properties, and Berkshire Hathaway with a stock portfolio exceeding $300 billion and large cash balances. Kinsale, Dream Finders, Pinterest, Disney and Howard Hughes round out concentrated exposure across fintech, housing/real estate, automotive/EV and media. Market signals attached to the article show moderately positive sentiment (score 0.45) with strong per-ticker sentiment for SOFI (0.8) and MELI (0.7), and a modest market-impact score (0.25). The combination of high conviction positions and explicit intent to hold creates concentration risk; valuation and company-specific catalysts (profitability at SoFi, fintech penetration at MercadoLibre, rate sensitivity for GM/REITs) are the primary drivers to monitor going into 2026.
