The Best Stocks to Invest $1,000 in This February
2026-02-16 21:04:00 ET
It seems as though every industry outside of artificial intelligence (AI) is in the dumps. Even health insurance stocks had one of the wildest years in the sector's history in 2025. Why? Because of an unforeseen rise in healthcare costs from multiple sources, which crushed insurance profitability.
This has led to declining values across the board for health insurance stocks . Giant healthcare provider UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) is down 53.6% from its highs, while technology-forward Oscar Health (NYSE: OSCR) is down over 60%. This is presenting investors with a buying opportunity, with profits set to rebound in 2026.
Here's why these are two of the best stocks you can buy with $1,000 in February.
