1. On Holding
On footwear is resonating with consumers globally. Despite macroeconomic headwinds, the brand has posted consistently high sales growth. In 2025, sales rose 35% year over year on a constant-currency basis, and in the first quarter of 2026, they rose 26% year over year.
The brand hit the right formula with innovation and cushioning design. Recent innovations like Surreal combine the company's popular CloudTec cushioning with other foams to deliver a softer glide without sacrificing responsiveness while running.
Performance footwear remains a key growth driver for the company. It reported a strong order book in running, with orders up more than 25% year over year. This indicates retailers continue to see strong sell-through from their customers.
Strong demand is giving On Holding pricing power. Although average selling prices have increased from around $145 to more than $170, sales remain strong. Higher selling prices are boosting profits, with the company's profit margin inching up to surpass 8% in the past year.
The company still sees a relatively low level of global brand awareness, leaving a significant untapped addressable market. This spells opportunity for investors, with this top shoe stock trading at a reasonable forward price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of 22.
2. eBay
eBay has executed a successful turnaround under CEO Jamie Iannone, who took over in 2020. Growth has accelerated over the past year, driven by platform improvements and an expansion of gross merchandise volume (GMV) in strategic categories such as collectibles.
The company posted a stellar 27% year-over-year increase in U.S. GMV in the first quarter. This contributed to a 19% increase in total revenue. This means the strategy to lean more into trading cards and other collectibles paid off.
eBay is also removing much of the friction from listing items for sale. It has integrated artificial intelligence (AI) tools that autofill product descriptions. This has led to significant increases in casual fashion listings and could provide a beneficial boost to other categories over time.
Advertising is another area where eBay is padding its revenue growth. The ad business now accounts for nearly 19% of revenue, underscoring eBay's potential to leverage its large user base and diversify revenue beyond listing fees.
Despite accelerating momentum in 2026, the stock still trades at a reasonable forward P/E of 18.
3. Celsius Holdings
Celsius stock fell sharply a few years ago, but it has begun to show signs of a bottom and appears poised to rebound. The company delivered strong financial results in the first quarter, with revenue up 138% year over year. While the beverage company padded its revenue with recent acquisitions of Alani Nu and Rockstar Energy, it continues to report relatively strong growth for its core energy brands.
Energy drinks are driving the highest unit sales growth at retail, according to data from Circana. The category is pacing ahead of others such as fresh fruit, yogurt, and beef. Celsius stood out with its marketing centered on fitness, health, and wellness. This is clearly resonating with health-conscious consumers.
Celsius brand revenue increased 6% year over year in the first quarter. The acquisitions of Alani Nu and Rockstar have expanded its reach and scale. Celsius can expand these brands' reach through its distribution partnership with PepsiCo, which has benefited the company enormously.
Despite these advantages, the stock trades at a forward P/E of 19. This valuation may undervalue its relationship with PepsiCo and its ability to leverage the beverage giant's vast distribution capabilities to expand over the long term.
