Search Interest Changes

January's list included plenty of movement, with four stocks joining the top 12 for the first time in months and several of the most-searched tickers moving around the top 10 list.

New to the top 10 for the month of January were the iShares Silver Trust, Brand Engagement, Intel and Applied Digital. Of these, the iShares Silver Trust could be the biggest one to monitor going forward, with investors paying more and more attention to gold and silver in recent weeks.

The gap between second and third place was very close for the month of January, while the gap from third to fourth was wide. This means that the iShares Silver Trust narrowly trailed Tesla for second place and was significantly ahead of the next most-searched stocks.

Nvidia and the Invesco QQQ Trust fell down the list, likely due to the increased interest in the Silver ETF.

Moving up the top 10 were Meta, gaining three places from December, and Apple, moving up one place from December.

Outside the top 10, Micron ranked 11th for a second straight month. The stock is getting closer to cracking the top 10 most-searched tickers and continues to see strong monthly search demand.

Dropping out from the top 12 list in December were SMX PLC (NASDAQ:SMX), Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL), iRobot Corporation (OTC:IRBTQ), Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:AVGO) and IREN Ltd. (NASDAQ:IREN).

Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) also failed to crack the top 12, despite being the fourth most-searched ticker in 2025 overall. Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ:OPEN) also failed to rank in the top 12 after ranking fifth for the 2025 year.

The rankings for the first month of the year show a continued preference for big technology and trending sectors.
