We recently published a list of Why These 15 Industrial Stocks Are Skyrocketing So Far In 2025. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Innovative Solutions and Support, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISSC) stands against other industrial stocks that are skyrocketing so far in 2025.
The industrial sector has gotten a lot of attention in the past few years from the government due to the U.S. focusing on onshoring manufacturing, and it is likely that it will get even more attention as tariffs start to increase. Moreover, industrial companies are rushing to integrate AI and automation, which could increase margins by a lot in the long run.
As such, it’s a good idea to look into industrial stocks that benefit from these trends. This includes those that have been performing very well so far this year. Companies that adapt to new techs and capitalize from the Trump administration’s policies could deliver the most growth in the coming years.
