10 Best Most Active Stocks To Invest In Now

In this article, we’re going to talk about the 10 best most active stocks to invest in now.

Are Additional Rate Cuts a Necessity?

The economic landscape is currently marked by mixed signals. The Fed has indicated the potential for additional rate cuts due to weaknesses in the manufacturing sector, despite signs of recovery. While the overall economy remains strong, currency dynamics have shifted, with the US dollar weakening and the euro strengthening. Interest rate yields have fluctuated, suggesting potential changes in investor sentiment. Amidst this complex environment, the Dow continues to hover near record highs, reflecting cautious optimism among market participants.

As stakeholders navigate these developments, they will need to carefully consider how they may influence investment strategies and market behavior in the coming months. CNBC’s Rick Santelli recently covered this situation, which we talked about in our article on the 10 Best Performing Stocks in 2024. Here’s an excerpt from it:

“Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee has indicated that many more rate cuts may be necessary over the next year due to signs of weakness in the manufacturing sector. CNBC’s Rick Santelli, who was reporting on September 23, noted that while manufacturing has faced challenges, there are indications it might be recovering slightly, as evidenced by a recent production increase of 0.8%.

He referenced comments…. that the economy is experiencing strong growth and robust consumer spending, which he believed contradicted the concerns raised by Goolsbee. Santelli pointed out that the Dow Jones Industrial Average is currently at all-time highs, suggesting that market sentiment remains positive despite underlying economic weaknesses.

Further discussing the economic landscape, he remarked on the currency markets, noting that the US dollar has fallen to its lowest level since March 2022. In contrast, the euro has reached its strongest level since April 2022. This shift in currency dynamics reflects broader economic trends…”

However, a lot of analysts do not have an opinion as nuanced as that of Santelli. For instance, Michael Kantrowitz, Piper Sandler’s chief investment strategist joined CNBC’s ‘Power Lunch’ on September 23 to discuss why smaller businesses and consumers need the benefits from more rate cuts.

In a conversation regarding the challenges facing US car manufacturers, it was noted that the biggest threat they encounter is the influx of Chinese automobiles into the US market. This concern contrasted with the insights from the President of the Bank of Chicago, who stated that ongoing rate cuts will continue to benefit smaller businesses and consumers who are currently adjusting to higher interest rates. Kantrowitz emphasized the significant impact that lower interest rates can have on the consumer economy, particularly given the substantial amount of debt tied to credit lines and credit cards. As adjustable-rate mortgages decrease, this easing of financial conditions is expected to be beneficial.

Kantrowitz pointed out that before last week, financial conditions had been easing primarily for larger corporations, as evidenced by the S&P 500, which did not require a rate cut. However, small businesses and consumers, who are more closely tied to the prime rate set by banks, had not experienced similar relief until recently. The last report indicated that small businesses were paying an interest rate of 9.5% for 3-month borrowing. This recent easing represents a crucial first step for Main Street, although the strategist believes further cuts are necessary.

He noted a broadening market trend following the July 11 CPI report, highlighting that commercial real estate has emerged as one of the best-performing sectors this quarter, alongside utilities and regional banks. However, it was emphasized that while rate cuts can benefit certain areas indirectly, such as those affected by lower tenure rates, they do not necessarily provide direct support.

Looking ahead at interest rates, there was speculation about how low they might go in the next year. Kantrowitz suggested that policy rates could indeed fall into the 3% range but cautioned that markets might be overly aggressive in their expectations. The anticipated rise in unemployment will play a critical role in shaping equity and fixed-income markets; however, if unemployment increases at a slow and steady pace, as it has been, it may not pose significant challenges to market stability.

Kantrowitz’s opinion reflects a cautious optimism regarding economic conditions as stakeholders face uncertain conditions while keeping an eye on interest rates and their broader implications for various sectors within the economy. With that said, we’re here with a list of the 10 best most active stocks to invest in now.

10 Best Most Active Stocks To Invest In Now

10. SoFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI)

Volume: 6.172 million

Average Volume (3-Month): 40.967 million

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 29

SoFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI) is a fintech company that operates as a direct bank and serves other financial institutions via its technology platform and reports 8.8 million users as of this year, membership surpassing 5.5 million in Q2 2024 alone. It’s a top online lender in the US, offering products like personal loans, student loan refinancing, investment products, and banking services.

The company targets consumers with high credit scores, reducing risk. Continuous product innovation and brand-building are fueling growth. The tech platform is becoming the go-to platform for financial services, much like AWS for technology.

In Q2 of this year, it added 643,000 new members and grew revenue by 22.12% year-over-year, driven by the combined Financial Services and Tech Platform revenue rising 46% year-over-year. This contribution was 45% of the total adjusted net revenue.

The company’s loan income now accounts for only 57% of total revenue, down from 90% two years ago. The guidance for 2024 shows a slower growth rate of 17% to 19%. Its mortgage origination segment is expected to benefit from falling interest rates and could lower acquisition costs. The innovative approach to IPO participation could prove timely as capital markets seem poised for a potential IPO wave.

It has integrated Galileo’s conversational AI engine into its app. Cyberbank Konecta, the AI assistant, can handle 80% of common inquiries, reducing response times by 65%. With such improvements, SoFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI) presents a good case for robust revenue growth potential and strong technological capabilities. These factors position it as one of the best most active stocks to invest in now.

Patient Capital Opportunity Equity Strategy stated the following regarding SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI) in its first quarter 2024 investor letter:

“SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI) fell in the first quarter despite delivering strong 4Q results and 2024 guidance supported by their non-lending businesses. The company continues to gain share in the digital lending and neo-banking space, consistently growing deposits at $2B a quarter. What differentiates the company is their focus on prime and super-prime customers (average FICO 749). Sofi is early in its life cycle, currently being a small player in a very large total addressable market (TAM). With their strong management team, we believe the company will continue to deliver on their guidance of strong growth and expanding margins.”

9. American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:AAL)

Volume: 7.428 million

Average Volume (3-Month): 36.008 million

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 38

(NASDAQ:AAL) is an airline holding company formed on December 9, 2013, by the merger of AMR Corporation (parent company of American Airlines) and US Airways Group (parent company of US Airways). It operates a vast network of domestic and international flights and offers services like scheduled passenger and cargo transportation, aircraft maintenance, and airport services, with 1,000 aircraft, and ~6,700 flights daily to ~350 destinations across 50+ countries.

The company’s AAdvantage Business Program (a loyalty initiative), which replaced the previous unmanaged programs, generated more than $2.5 billion in revenue in 2023. It expanded the AAdvantage Business Programs benefits, making it easier for travel managers to use and earn loyalty points for participating companies and end travelers.

As the company remains on track to reduce total debt by $15 billion from peak levels by the end of 2025, it is well-positioned for continued success. It is focused on delivering a reliable operation, maximizing profitability, and re-engineering its business for greater savings and productivity.

McLain Capital stated the following regarding American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:AAL) in its Q2 2020 investor letter:

“American Airlines (AAL) : With a $6.5bln market cap & adjusting for the current cash burn & incremental net debt, American currently trades at a higher pro-forma enterprise value than it did at the beginning of the year, while revenues are off 80-90%. The two year notes, AAL 5% 6/2022, currently trade 52 cents on the dollar at a yield to maturity of 46%, implying zero equity value for the common stock. At it’s current projected pace of cash burn, the company will expend its current liquidity before year end. American is one of the most popular stocks among retail investors.”

AI, Tariffs, Nuclear Power: One Undervalued Stock Connects ALL the Dots (Before It Explodes!)

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

  • It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
  • It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
  • It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

  • The AI infrastructure supercycle
  • The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
  • A surge in U.S. LNG exports
  • And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.

As an investor, you want to be on the side of the winners, and AI is the winning ticket.

The Talent Pool is Overflowing: The world’s brightest minds are flocking to AI.

From computer scientists to mathematicians, the next generation of innovators is pouring its energy into this field.

This influx of talent guarantees a constant stream of groundbreaking ideas and rapid advancements.

By investing in AI, you’re essentially backing the future.

The future is powered by artificial intelligence, and the time to invest is NOW.

Don’t be a spectator in this technological revolution.

Dive into the AI gold rush and watch your portfolio soar alongside the brightest minds of our generation.

This isn’t just about making money – it’s about being part of the future.
