About This Group of Stocks
Our Expert Thinking
Instead of factories or inventory, these companies own something even more valuable — protected ideas. They generate predictable income by licensing intellectual assets like drug patents, music rights, and famous brands to others. This creates recurring revenue streams backed by legal agreements, often with minimal overhead costs.
What You Need to Know
This group offers exposure to high-margin businesses that don't require heavy infrastructure investments. Their income tends to be contractually protected and diversified across industries from pharmaceuticals to entertainment. While these companies can deliver steady cash flow, their performance ultimately depends on the ongoing value of their intangible assets.

Why You'll Want to Watch These Stocks
Recurring Royalty Income
These companies earn money every time someone uses their intellectual property, creating potential for steady, predictable revenue streams without hefty production costs.
Contract-Protected Profits
Many of these businesses lock in multi-year licensing deals that provide revenue visibility others simply don't have. This contracted income can help weather market volatility.
Digital Age Accelerators
