No. Often a decay product is itself unstable and will decay into something else until a stable isotope is reached. This is called a decay chain.
For example, Uranium-238 will decay 15 times through various isotopes until it becomes lead-206 which is stable

Is it true that the daughter products of nuclear explosions produce heavy but stable isotopes of uranium?
True
What is a stable isotope?
Stable isotopes are chemical isotopes that are not radioactive, meaning that they do not spontaneously undergo radioactive decay.
What is the stable nucleus produced at the end of the decay steps in a uranium decay series?
Thorium, radium, radon, polonium, thallium, etc.
What is stable and unstable isotopes?
Some isotopes are stable, others are unstable.
How many isotopes does boron have?
Two stable ones, 10 & 11. Several unstable.
Scandium undergoes beta decay What is the resulting daughter isotope?
Naturally occurring scandium 45Sc is stable. However synthetic isotopes of scandium can have 36 to 60 nucleons. Isotopes with masses above the stable isotope decay through beta emission into isotopes of titanium. Isotopes below the stable variety decay, mainly by electron capture, into isotopes of calcium.

True
Does radioactive isotopes have a stable nuclei?
Radioactive isotopes are not stable.
How are stable isotopes used in medicine?
Stable isotopes are used as tracers.
