Why Regencell Bioscience Holdings Limited (RGC) is Surging in 2025

We recently published a list of Why These 15 Healthcare Stocks Are Surging in 2025. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Regencell Bioscience Holdings Limited (NASDAQ:RGC) stands against other healthcare stocks that are surging in 2025.

After lagging behind the broader market in 2024, many healthcare stocks are making a comeback this year. Healthcare spending has been continuously soaring and is projected to do so in the coming years due to demographic tailwinds. The industry now accounts for a fifth of the U.S. economy, and it’s a good idea to have exposure to it.

Most executives now hold a favorable view of the industry’s prospects, a notable increase from 52% just a year ago. Moreover, it’s an industry that is more insulated from tariffs and macro risks.

Of course, the top gainers here are not defensive healthcare stocks, but it’s still worth looking into the winners here if you are chasing potential multibaggers.

Even during bear markets, there are pockets of the market that perform exceptionally well. For example, I identified 15 Energy Stocks that are Up the Most in 2025 in another article.

However, this is from an unreliable source. It is more likely that the surge is due to technical reasons.
