Is Clear Secure, Inc. (NYSE:YOU) a buy in 2026?

Where YOU is headed
By the back half of 2027, CLEAR stops being understood as 'the airport lane company' and starts being understood as the only US-scale private identity network with biometrics on file for roughly 30 million paying-and-free members. That reframing matters because the Samsung Wallet partnership, Sora ID for KYC, and CLEAR1 deployments at stadiums, healthcare networks, and hotel chains are all the same product wearing different skins. The aviation business funds the enrolment engine. Everything else monetizes the database.
