Top 13 Stocks That Will Skyrocket

In this article, we will discuss: Top 13 Stocks That Will Skyrocket. For more stocks, you can head to Top 5 Stocks That Will Skyrocket.

The stock market, and particularly technology stocks, have been quite tumultuous as of late. The flagship NASDAQ-100 index is down by 2.6% over the past month. Similarly, the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ Composite are down by 2.14% and 4.4%, respectively. Amidst this turmoil, Chris Harvey of CIBC sat down with CNBC to discuss the current stock market environment. Starting off with the SpaceX IPO, he discussed other factors affecting the market:

“It performed well, people made money on it. They’re taking profits. We have a little bit of a choppy market. Last week, Warsh comes in. And he comes in pretty hot. That unsettles the market. And so, stocks trade. And that’s what happening. If you look at the IPO market, if you look at tech, what’s working, it’s momentum. And we’re still in a momentum market. And if you don’t have positive price momentum, then it’s very difficult.”

Our Methodology

To make our list of the stocks that might skyrocket, we scanned investment newsletters from Stock Gumshoe and narrowed down 23 stocks from newsletters covered in February 2026. These were ranked by the number of hedge funds that had bought the shares in Q1 2026 and the top 13 stocks were chosen. Stock Gumshoe’s thesis and the date of each newsletter are also mentioned.

Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter’s strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 599.2% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 372 percentage points (see more details here).

13. Ormat Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:ORA)

Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q1 2026: 46

Date of Newsletter: February 11th, 2026

This stock features in an advertisement from Whitney Tilson called Commodity Supercycles. The advertisement starts out by mentioning that “our government is selling off the rights to millions of acres of public land.” It then adds that a “powerful” group of companies will “use this land to generate millions of dollars.” The ad goes as far as to claim that billionaires Ray Dalio, John Arnold and others, along with Berkshire Hathaway and oil giant Chevron, are also involved in the affair. As if all of this hype wasn’t enough, the advertisement adds that “we’re on the Brink of a New All-American Energy Revolution,” and the firm it’s talking about is “right at the heart of everything I’ve been telling you about.”

This mysterious company, according to Gumshoe, is Ormat Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:ORA). The firm operates in the geothermal and recovered power business. Its shares are up by 42% over the past year and by 8.4% year-to-date. Investment bank JPMorgan discussed Ormat Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:ORA) in April 2026. It lowered the share price target to $106 from $108 and kept a Neutral rating on the stock. The coverage came as part of the bank’s commentary on the clean energy sector, which it believes can benefit from the data center rollout.

12. STMicroelectronics N.V. (NYSE:STM)

Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q1 2026: 37

Date of Newsletter: February 23rd, 2026

This stock is a part of Mark Skousen’s The Skousen Report and is pitched to cash in the hype leading to SpaceX’s historic IPO earlier this month. While Skousen’s prediction that the IPO “could happen as early as March 26th, 2026” didn’t come true, he pitched the stock as “a play that lets you to get in on SpaceX BEFORE its IPO.” As if this weren’t enough, Skousen markets it as a “kind of opportunity that can help build empires over the long haul.” Some specific hints provided come in the form of statements such as “this is a global semiconductor powerhouse” and “every satellite Elon launches into orbit is packed with their technology.”

While Stock Gumshoe doesn’t believe that this firm will be as tightly linked to SpaceX, he does believe it’s STMicroelectronics N.V. (NYSE:STM). STMicro is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world. It designs and sells power management chips, analog chips, sensors and other products. The shares are up by 140% over the past year and by 164% year-to-date.  Miuzho increased its share price target for the firm to $68 from $56 on May 19th and kept an Outperform rating on the stock. The bank pointed to potential tailwinds from AI server demand as the reason behind the upgrade.

11. Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:ARM)

Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q1 2026: 46

Date of Newsletter: February 18th, 2026

This stock is part of an interview of Porter Stansberry and Luke Lango, where they pitch a new “1776 moment.” They argue that while the year 1776 is famous for American independence from the British Empire, the year also featured “three tectonic forces” that led to the US’ current “prosperity and freedom.” These forces are Politics, Economics, and Technology, according to the duo. The rest of the pitch is rather simple. They liken the current AI wave to a second 1776 moment and point towards a firm that “designs the blueprints for the world’s top-performing processors.”

This firm, according to Gumshoe, is British design house Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:ARM). Its shares are up by 134% over the past year and by 219% year-to-date. Bank of America discussed Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:ARM) earlier this month. It raised the share price target to $335 from $245 and discussed the role of agentic AI on the firm’s business. As opposed to generative AI, agentic AI relies on CPUs, and BofA believes that it can become a major growth catalyst for Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:ARM).

10. Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTG)

Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q1 2026: 47

Date of Newsletter: February 5th, 2026

This is part of a pitch from Ian King and George Gilder. According to them, this is an “under-the-radar company that’s positioning itself. Right at the center of every advanced nanochip that gets made in America.” It “provides the actual materials and filters that keep those chips pure.” According to the pitch, every technological breakthrough, such as AI and quantum computing means that these materials are “getting purer and more sophisticated.” They add that amidst all the hype surrounding AI, “this company quietly positions itself as the supplier that every chip maker needs.”

Gumshoe believes that this firm is Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTG). It is an advanced materials and process solutions provider for the semiconductor industry. Its products are used throughout the chip fabrication process, in areas such as etching and deposition. Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTG)’s shares are up by 105% over the past year and by 87% year-to-date. Goldman Sachs discussed the firm in February. It raised the share price target to $95 from$75 on February 11th and kept a Sell rating on the stock. The bank remarked that it was on the watch out for a cyclical upturn.

9. Amkor Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMKR)

Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q1 2026: 49

Date of Newsletter: February 5th, 2026

This stock is part of a pitch by Ian King and George Gilder. They start by touting it as a “50-year veteran in the chip industry that’s finally coming to America.” In fact, this firm is so important that it’s been a “secret weapon between nearly every major semiconductor breakthrough for five decades,” they say. Color us intrigued. The firm has close relationships with Apple and TSMC, and it “benefits from every advanced nanochip that gets made in America, whether it’s Taiwan Semi, Intel, or Samsung building facilities here.”

Stock Gumshoe holds the opinion that this intriguing company is none other than Amkor Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMKR). Amkor provides packaging and test services to the semiconductor industry. Packaging is a key part in the semiconductor supply chain through which firms integrate the different components of a chip, such as the GPU and memory, in a single package that can be used in a computer. Amkor Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMKR) is due to exhibit its products alongside TSMC at an exhibition in China on June 25th, and the firm is also slated to attend an event in South Korea in July.

8. GDS Holdings Limited (NASDAQ:GDS)

Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q1 2026: 51

Date of Newsletter: February 10th, 2026

This stock was part of a presentation from Porter Stansberry and Erez Kalir. In the pitch, they discuss China’s AI market to remark that it “looks from a valuation perspective a lot like the US market did three or four years ago.” “China is still in the earlier innings” of its AI build out, which can mean that “a very meaningful wave of potential upside has not been priced in yet.” The stock that they’re pitching, they believe, is “China’s AI landlord.” It has built hyperscale data centers across China’s major cities and designed them for “scarce power access advanced liquid cooling, ultra-low latency fiber, and long-term contracts with China’s biggest cloud and AI players.”

Gumshoe’s Thinkolator pings this firm as GDS Holdings Limited (NASDAQ:GDS). GDS provides data center colocation services across several industries, such as finance and technology. Its shares are up by 8% over the past year and are down by 18% year-to-date. TD Cowen discussed the firm on May 21st. It lowered the share price target to $36 from $37 and kept a Buy rating on the stock.

7. Amrize (NYSE: AMRZ)

Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q1 2026: 58

Date of Newsletter: February 18th, 2026

A stock that’s part of Porter Stansberry and Luke Lango’s “1776 moment” pitch, this firm is what is dubbed “The AI Foundation.” The pitch adds that the firm “is a new spin-off from a multi-billion dollar business that has dominated its industry since 1912.”In fact, the newsletter writer goes one step ahead and markets the firm as being the best investment idea that he has seen in his career. “In my entire career I’ve never – not once – seen a better investment idea,’” he says.

So what is this investment idea? According to Gumshoe, this firm is Amrize (NYSE: AMRZ) – a Swiss building infrastructure provider. As part of the Trump administration’s efforts to beef up American manufacturing, the firm expanded its Made in America label in April and added it to four more cement plants in the US. Amrize (NYSE: AMRZ) is investing $600 million to expand its US operations, and the Made in America label guarantees end-to-end sourcing from the US.

6. Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:ALB)

Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q1 2026: 60

Date of Newsletter: February 24th, 2026

This stock was pitched by Jim Rickards as part of his Insider Intel newsletter, and it came with the instruction to buy before President Trump’s State of the Union address. The newsletter claimed that Trump would announce the firm “as the new owner of America’s most critical mining operation.” The company was also “awarded $90 million by the Department of War, plus a $150 million grant from the Department of Energy.”

As per Gumshoe, this firm is lithium giant Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:ALB). Since the State of the Union address, its shares are down by 23.7%. Several analysts discussed the firm in May. These included Deutsche Bank, which raised the share price target to $250 from $210 and kept a Buy rating on the shares as it discussed the tailwinds from high lithium prices. RBC Capital raised the share price target to $253 from $245 and kept an Outperform rating. Similarly, Truist raised the target to $260 from $245 and kept a Buy rating on the stock.

While we acknowledge the potential of ALB to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than ALB and that has 100x upside potential, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:

A few years from now, you’ll wish you’d owned this stock.

My name is Inan Dogan. I’m the co-founder and Research Director of Insider Monkey. I have an important message for you today.

Since March 2017, my stock picks have returned 16.5% annually. Today, I’ve found an opportunity even bigger than my British American Tobacco call.

Two years ago, Wall Street wrote off British American Tobacco (BTI) as a “melting ice cube.” The stock had crashed 40% from its peak, and consensus said the business was dying.

We looked under the cover and realized they were wrong.

We alerted our subscribers, and BTI returned 90% in just 16 months.

Now if you had invested just $10,000 in BTI in June 2024, you’d be sitting on $19,000 in October 2025.

Today, we have identified a nearly identical pattern in a digital-first giant trading at $3.

While the market panics over a surface-level revenue decline, our PhD-led research shows management has actually surgically cut $100 million in waste to focus on high-margin growth.

This pattern is a hallmark of our 16.5% annual return track record. The current opportunity offers a 400% upside potential—dwarfing even our 90% BTI return.

Get the ticker for our new “Underdog” pick and the full BTI case study for just 99 cents.
