In this piece, we will take a look at the 15 most profitable new stocks today. For more stocks, head on over to 5 Most Profitable New Stocks Today.

The stock market is filled with thousands of stocks belonging to all kinds of firms. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) classifies stocks trading in the public markets into five categories based on their market capitalization. At the very top are today’s corporate behemoths such as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) whose market capitalization is in the billions of dollars. At the bottom are penny stocks or, as the FINRA describes them, micro stocks, which have a market capitalization that is less than $250 million.

When it comes to returns though, the largest companies often fall behind since most of their share price appreciation has already taken place. This is why there is significant interest in the Initial Public Offerings (IPO) of both small and large firms, as investors are eager to get in on the action early and then just wait and watch as their money grows by itself. One company that continues to see massive interest in an IPO is Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX). So much so that CNBC has reported multiple times that a SpaceX IPO is likely. One report from 2020 quotes SpaceX chief Mr. Elon Musk as stating that an IPO is three to four years ahead. Then, another memo obtained by CNBC in 2022 quotes the same executive as saying that an IPO is still three to four years away.

While Mr. Musk quotes his fraught relationships with the stock market as being a key reason behind his hesitancy, thousands of companies have nevertheless taken the plunge and listed their shares on the stock market over the past couple of years. Out of these, some of the top performers in terms of profit are ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE:ZIM), Corebridge Financial, Inc. (NYSE:CRBG), and GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (NASDAQ:GFS).
