15 Most Profitable New Stocks Today

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).

Our Methodology

We used the Stock Analysis stock screener to sift out which firms have listed their shares on the stock market this year, in 2022, and in 2021. Stunningly, while there were 181 IPOs in 2022 and only 23 so far this year, in 2021 a whopping 1,035 firms went public. Out of all these companies, the top fifteen with the highest net income have been selected and presented. The net income figures were verified by looking at the companies’ latest press releases and SEC filings and Yahoo Finance for the trailing twelve month figures.

China’s terrifying internet “Master Key”… and the one microcap that could stop them

In August 2024, news outlets around the world revealed one of the most shocking data breaches in recent history.

Approximately 2.9 billion records, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, mailing addresses, financial data and, distressingly, Social Security numbers, were stolen when Coral Springs, Florida, firm National Public Data (NPD) suffered a massive cyberattack. The company confirmed that the breach, which happened in December 2023, resulted in the potential leaks of data in the summer of 2024.

Nearly every day in the news, we hear about yet another damaging data breach or ransomware attack that puts valuable data — including yours — into the hands of hackers. And the number of attacks is soaring — up 30% year over year according to the latest numbers.

As bad as this is, it’s a day at the beach compared to what’s coming.

That’s because hostile nations across the globe — including Iran, North Korea, Russia and Communist China are going all-out to develop a breakthrough technology that will unlock what I call the “Master Key” to the Internet.

If they succeed in harnessing this groundbreaking “Master Key” technology, the consequences could be catastrophic.
