This week, Tracey is going solo to talk about the red-hot growth stocks everyone is talking about in October 2025.

It's not a surprise that all three companies are AI Revolution plays. The AI Revolution is still driving this bull rally from the semiconductors to the infrastructure to the companies that are making AI tools.

All three of these stocks are soaring this year.

But are they too hot to handle after the big rally?

3 Red-Hot Growth Stocks for Your Watch List

1. Palantir Technologies, Inc. PLTR

Palantir describes its business as the "foundational software of tomorrow." It has deployed AI tools into the software. Revenue was up 50% in the second quarter of 2025.

Shares of Palantir are up 132% year-to-date. It's not cheap. Palantir has a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 271. But traders don't care about the P/E. They care about Palantir's growth.

Earnings are expected to jump 61% in 2025 and another 30.3% in 2026.

Is Palantir still a buy or is it too hot to handle?

2. Oklo Inc. OKLO

Oklo is a fission technology and nuclear fuel recycling company. It is one of the hottest stocks this year.

Shares of Oklo are up 657% year-to-date and 922% over the last year. But Oklo is expected to lose $0.50 in 2025 and another $0.56 in 2026.

Oklo is an AI Revolution play on the need for energy.

Is Oklo in a bubble or is the rally justified?

3. Innodata Inc. INOD

Innodata is a global data engineering company mixing data and AI. It's a rare small cap AI stock, with a market cap of just $2.6 billion.

Shares of Innodata are up 94% year-to-date and 320% over the last year. While earnings are expected to fall 6.7% in 2025, analysts are forecasting a rebound of 47.6% in 2026.

Innodata isn't cheap. It trades with a forward P/E of 98.8.

Should a small cap like Innodata be on your watch list?
