16 Most Profitable New Stocks Today

In this article, we will take a detailed look at the 16 Most Profitable New Stocks Today. For a quick overview of such stocks, read our article 5 Most Profitable New Stocks Today.

IPO activity showed some signs of a rebound in 2023 but public markets are far from the enthusiasm witnessed in 2021. Some notable IPOs in 2023 included those of ARM, Instacart, Klaviyo, among others. A detailed report by Renaissance Capital said that there are about 160 companies waiting to go public soon, looking to raise over $8 billion in total. The report said there are about 15 IPOs planning to raise at least $100 million in 2024, with most of the notable IPOs expected to take place in the second and third quarter of 2024.

“Our Private Company Watchlist (PCW) contains more than 200 IPO candidates that we believe are poised to list within the next two years. In 2023, 17 of the year’s largest IPOs came from our PCW, led by chip giant Arm. Large VC-backed startups are staying private longer than ever before, but improved market conditions in 2024 should open the door for companies that have made strides towards profitability,” the report said.

The report listed some of the most-anticipated IPOs of 2024. Some top names in the list include Reddit, Rubrik, Panera, Kim Kardashian’s shapewear brand Skims, Chinese fashion retailer SHEIN, Stripe, canned water company Liquid Death, General Atlantic, among many others.

Ernst & Young said in its market outlook report that easing inflation and possible rate cuts could cause a rebound in the IPO markets but companies are expected to remain in the wait and see mode as they await more favorable market conditions. EY’s report said despite a strong rally in the stock market, IPO activity was muted in 2023. This is because most of the market gains were concentrated in the mega-cap technology space and the broader market did not see widespread gains as inflation and recession-related worries continue to haunt investors. Companies are also fearful of post-IPO losses as 2022 and 2023 has shown that most of the IPOs failed to sustain the optimism of their first few days. On the other hand, high-growth developing markets saw a stronger IPO activity in 2023, with  Indonesia, Malaysia and Turkey showing a rise in deal volume and proceeds by benchmarking against 5-year average IPO activity.

“The tumbling share prices of September listings have prompted some IPO candidates to consider delaying their plans. Companies are further discouraged by uncertainty over interest rate patterns and geopolitical events. Even those choosing to go public are proceeding with care, scrutinizing market signals and potentially postponing their offering. Large-cap IPOs consistently trailed smaller deals across post-IPO windows from one day to one month as well as trailing current returns. In a bid to bolster confidence, some large-caps are opting for ‘cornerstone strategies’ — having anchor investors buy big blocks of shares — although this approach can also reduce liquidity. Still, some 2022 large-cap IPOs dropped on their debut while small and micro listings enjoyed notable day-one IPO pops. As smaller businesses stay open to IPO plans, a few big-ticket success examples need to surface, to restore investor confidence before large volume of IPOs return. Compared with the Americas and Asia-Pacific regions, EMEIA saw the highest IPO returns with its 2023 IPO cohort: about 70% of EMEIA IPOs exceeded their offer prices. 100% of newly public companies in Turkey enjoyed positive returns, with UAE and India not far behind at 80% and 75%, respectively. These results have made them some of EMEIA’s best performing IPO markets,” EY added.

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.
