We recently published a list of Why These 15 Software Stocks Are Skyrocketing So Far in 2025. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Digital Turbine, Inc. (NASDAQ:APPS) stands against other software stocks that are skyrocketing so far in 2025.

Software stocks have been spearheading the stock market’s rally over the past two years and there seems to be no slowing down for the broader software industry. Investors who’ve gotten in early into some of the top software stocks right now have realized multibagger returns, and there’s likely more money to be made as the rally continues.

Of course, I’d be lying if I said I knew which stocks would be the ones to deliver parabolic returns next. That said, you could still find them yourself if you look at the top-performing software stocks so far this year. Many of them are gaining significantly for the right reasons. Some of these top-performing software stocks have a long runway and can mature into much bigger companies down the line.
