Each trading day, Benzinga Pro features hundreds of headlines and press releases for traders to peruse the latest market news and individual stocks.
Below is a look at our most-searched tickers for October, along with how interest compares to recent months.
Current prices and year-to-date performance are based on Nov. 3 market close prices and do not include dividends.
1.SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY)
2. Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA)
3. Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD)
4. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)
5. Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:BYND)
6. Rigetti Computing Inc (NASDAQ:RGTI)
7. Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL)
8. Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN)
9. Critical Metals Corp (NASDAQ:CRML)
10. IREN Ltd. (NASDAQ:IREN)
Just missing the top 10 for September were Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) and Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:PLTR), which ranked 11 and 12, respectively.

Search Interest Changes: For the second straight month, a meme stock soared up the chart. This time it was Beyond Meat, which ranked fifth for the month and soared in popularity.
In September, Opendoor topped the overall list for the most-searched tickers. That stock fell from the top 12 in October, losing some investor interest as they pivoted to other names.
Oracle, CoreWeave, EightCo Holdings and Intel also fell out of the top 12 in the month of October after previously all appearing in the top 10 for the month of September.
Palantir, which ranked ninth in September, fell to 12th in October, narrowly missing the top 10 for a third straight month.
New to the top 10 for October, along with Beyond Meat, were Advanced Micro Devices, Rigetti Computing, Critical Metals, and IREN. Amazon also moved up one place from last month's 11th place to crack the top 10 in October.
Some of the newcomers to the list reflect current themes in the stock market. Beyond Meat saw strong interest from retail traders, with a Reddit post helping boost the stock. High short interest in the name also made the stock a candidate for a short squeeze. Shares rocketed higher in October, but have since come back down.
Rigetti Computing is a quantum computing play, another hot topic for retail investors. Critical Metals is part of the rare earth trade that has gained attention after President Donald Trump took stakes in rare earth companies and sought to keep America's independence from key materials needed by tech companies.
IREN has pivoted from a Bitcoin mining company to a strategy focused on data centers rented to AI companies.

Scienture Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:SCNX) announced on Tuesday that Arbli (losartan potassium) Oral Suspension, 10 mg/mL, has been added to the formularies of key national payors, expanding access through both multiple commercial coverage and Medicare supplement plans.
The inclusion extends availability to over 100 million covered lives across the United States.
In October, Scienture started commercial sales and fulfillment of the first customer orders for Arbli (losartan potassium) Oral Suspension, 10 mg/mL.
Arbli is the first FDA-approved, ready-to-use oral suspension formulation of losartan potassium, designed to provide a safe, consistent, and convenient therapeutic option for patients requiring an alternative to solid dosage forms.
The FDA approved Arbli for hypertension in patients older than six years old, for reducing the risk of stroke in patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy, and for treating diabetic nephropathy in certain patients with type 2 diabetes.
It is the first and only liquid formulation of losartan on the market that does not require compounding and has reduced dosing volume and long-term shelf life at room temperature storage.
According to IQVIA data, the U.S. losartan market totals approximately $256 million in annual sales, with more than 71 million prescriptions written each year, presenting a significant commercial opportunity for Scienture.
Narasimhan Mani, President and co-CEO of Scienture, said, "Patients covered under these plans will now have more affordable access to Arbli, with lower out-of-pocket costs depending on plan design and utilization management."
Price Action: SCNX stock is down 2.40% at $0.69 during the premarket session at the last check on Tuesday.

Artificial intelligence-driven insurance technology company Roadzen Inc (NASDAQ:RDZN) on Tuesday announced an agreement with Mizuho Securities ("Mizuho"), to extend the maturity date for its existing senior secured notes.
The maturity of Roadzen's $11.5 million senior secured notes was extended by 18 months, from December 31, 2025, to June 30, 2027. There are no other changes to the structure.
The extension provides Roadzen with enhanced financial flexibility to support its global growth.
The senior secured notes accrue interest at 15% annually.
Last week, Roadzen signed a deal to acquire a majority controlling stake in a licensed commercial auto insurance broker and managing general underwriter (MGU) based in California.
The MGU holds licenses in California, Texas, Illinois, and New Jersey, along with Lloyd's of London Coverholder status.
The acquisition will allow Roadzen to underwrite specialty transportation and commercial vehicle risks for major U.S. insurers and Lloyd's syndicates, serving small and mid-sized fleets through national agency networks.
The deal will merge the acquired firm with DrivebuddyAI and National Auto Club, creating an integrated telematics, roadside assistance, claims, and distribution platform for the U.S. commercial auto market.
The acquisition expands Roadzen's carrier relationships, adds 90 new fleets representing over $100 million in potential annual premiums, and is expected to contribute more than $8 million in annual revenue at 25% Adjusted EBITDA margins.
Roadzen projects the combined platform will exceed $200 million in Gross Written Premium within three years, strengthening its position in the $75+ billion U.S. commercial auto insurance market.
Price Action: RDZN shares closed lower by 11.70% at $1.510 at Monday.

Matej Zak, CEO of hardware wallet company Trezor, called President Donald Trump's decision to create a national Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) reserve a "good idea," but expressed skepticism about the next steps.
In an exclusive chat with Benzinga at the launch event for the company’s latest product, Trezor Safe 7, in Prague, Zak mentioned billionaire investor Ray Dalio's book titled "How Countries Go Broke," and shared the insights he gained from it.
"He [Ray Dalio] talks about countries having huge debts and mismanaging the debts, and printing more money, ultimately and increasing taxes and huge taxation," Zak stated. "And you read it and you’re like, well, Bitcoin fixes this."
"So I feel it's probably a good idea, though I’m not an economist," he added.

Trump signed an executive order earlier this year to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, with a provision to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional BTC. However, little has come from the executive side since the order was signed.
On the lack of action, Zak said, "I don’t know what he’s going to do, obviously, but to me again it sounds like politicians’ talk."
The CEO also sought to delink Bitcoin from politics, stating that the apex cryptocurrency would rise regardless of whether Trump remains the U.S. president.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated earlier that the government would not buy additional BTC and expressed "doubt" about revaluing gold certificates, but later signaled that budget‑neutral options to expand the reserve were being considered.
The government holds 198,021 BTC, worth approximately $24.17 billion, according to on-chain analytics firm Arkham, with the majority seized from criminal and civil forfeiture proceedings.
Trump previously suggested that the nation's debt burden, currently surpassing $38 trillion, could be paid off with Bitcoin. However, analysts caution that the market valuation required to match such levels is astronomical, and converting that value into actual dollars could destabilize global markets.
Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $107,539.28, down 2.50% over the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Each week, Benzinga’s Stock Whisper Index uses a combination of proprietary data and pattern recognition to showcase five stocks that are just under the surface and deserve attention.
Investors are constantly on the hunt for undervalued, under-followed and emerging stocks. With countless methods available to retail traders, the challenge often lies in sifting through the abundance of information to uncover new opportunities and understand why certain stocks should be of interest.
Here’s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending October 31:
Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (NYSE:BK): Benzinga reader interest increased in the stock of America's oldest bank company. The Bank of New York Mellon has a long history dating back to the Bank of New York. Shares are up 40% year-to-date and trade near all-time highs. Analysts have been raising their price targets recently, which comes after the company posted a 10th straight double beat in October. The bank stock is one of several public financial companies looking to grow in the cryptocurrency sector. WisdomTree recently appointed BNY for banking-as-a-service infrastructure for digital assets. The bank's growing presence in the cryptocurrency sector could add new growth opportunities.
Howmet Aerospace (NYSE:HWM): The aerospace company returns to the Stock Whisper Index after recently reporting third-quarter financial results and raising full-year guidance. The company beat analyst estimates for both revenue and earnings per share. Howmet Aerospace reported strong revenue growth for several segments, citing strong demand for commercial aerospace and defense aerospace. The strong financial results and guidance led to several price target increases from analysts, including TD Cowne raising the price target from $210 to $240, UBS raising the price target from $199 to $209 and RBC Capital raising the price target from $210 to $235.
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ALNY): A top performing pharmaceutical stock in 2025, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals saw strong interest from readers during the week with shares trading lower. The company announced it received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts over prices on several drugs. The news came as the company announced third-quarter results, with revenue and earnings per share both beating analyst estimates. The company saw sales up 149% year-over-year to $1.25 billion in the quarter. Alnylam raised its full-year sales guidance after the strong quarterly results. Analysts raised their price targets on the stock after the quarterly results. Investors will be closely monitoring the results of the look at pricing as the company experiences significant growth.
American Airlines Group (NASDAQ:AAL): The airline stock saw strong interest from readers during the week, as the sector faces potential setbacks from the government shutdown. An air traffic control shortage could disrupt air travel during the shutdown and potentially the Thanksgiving holiday if it remains prolonged. American Airlines reported third-quarter financial results in late October with revenue and earnings per share both beating analyst estimates. With $13.69 billion in revenue, the company broke its all-time third quarter record. The company reported strength in capacity and loyalty during the quarter. With shares down over 20% year-to-date, the stock could be worth monitoring depending on the length of the government shutdown.
ON Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:ON): The semiconductor company saw strong interest from readers during the week, which comes ahead of third-quarter financial results. The company will report third-quarter results on Monday Nov. 3 before market close. Analysts expect the company to report 59 cents in earnings per share, down from 99 cents per share in last year's third quarter. The company missed analyst estimates for earnings per share in the last fiscal quarter, but has beaten estimates in eight of the last 10 quarters overall. Analysts expect the company to report third-quarter revenue of $1.51 billion, down from $1.76 billion in last year's third quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in two straight quarters and in nine of the last 10 quarters overall.

Hardware wallet firm Trezor‘s CEO, Matej Zak, is on board with Ark Invest's Cathie Wood's bold call that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) could eventually hit $1 million — but cautions that such levels may still be a long way off.
Speaking with Benzinga, Zak said, “I believe it will happen at some point…For the million…10 years is my guess.”
His comments come as institutional investors continue to dominate the cryptocurrency market following the launch last year of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S., while retail participation remains relatively muted.
Though Wood sees 2030 as the magic year, Zak’s decade-long horizon suggests a belief in gradual, structural growth rather than speculative frenzy. Still, he acknowledged that there’s uncertainty ahead: “I hope it happens…”

Zak expects 2026 to be the year when retail investors re-enter the market in a meaningful way.
“I'm hoping that Q4 is actually when the price will go up,” he said.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency has lost ground in recent weeks amid global uncertainty, and fell on Thursday, after hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell dampened expectations for another interest-rate cut this year.
Zak also noted that Trezor’s hardware wallet sales are tightly linked to Bitcoin's price.
“Our sales correlate so much with the Bitcoin price,” he said. “Whenever it goes up, we see it instantly… It’s super correlated.”
The cryptocurrency rally this year has been driven by more supportive policies under President Donald Trump, demand from institutional investors, and Bitcoin’s deepening integration with global financial markets.
BTC Price Action: At Bitcoin's current price of around $109,089, it would need to climb nearly 9-fold to hit the $1 million mark.

President and co-CEO Smriti Popenoe highlighted the company's operations at the intersection of capital markets and housing finance on Benzinga's Marketopolis podcast on Wednesday.

"You know, we do look at a lot of these forums. There’s a lot of people that talk about Dynex," Poenoe shared.
"One of the things we’re finding though, is this idea that income stocks are boring or they’re for boomers … They're actually for everyone. They belong in portfolios for everyone," she said.
Popenoe stressed to Benzinga that income stocks are an excellent way to diversify a portfolio and hedge against risks that come with high-volatility and growth stocks in the current environment.
"People want income-oriented strategies, or they’re just trying to diversify away from Nvidia or something else into something that can give them a little cushion. And that’s how they find us," Popenoe said.
With retail investors wielding increased research power and visibility, Dynex Capital continues to expand its outreach.
The company's transparent engagement and strong dividend history make DX a compelling option for investors seeking both income and stability in today's evolving markets.

SEGG Media Corporation (NASDAQ:SEGG) (formerly Lottery.com Inc.) on Thursday announced the launch of its Web3 and Digital Asset Strategy.
It is a two-year roadmap to generate sustainable on-chain yield, accelerate tokenization across sports and entertainment, and embed blockchain infrastructure into its global media ecosystem.
The initiative follows the creation of the SEGG Media Crypto Advisory Board, established to guide governance, risk management, and execution of the company's $300 million Digital Asset and Tokenization Program.
At the core of SEGG's roadmap lies an 80/20 capital allocation model.

SEGG Media plans to maintain 80% of its deployed capital as a multi-asset crypto treasury, initially focusing on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), and generating validator-based income, including Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), Solana (CRYPTO: SOL), and ZIGChain (CRYPTO: ZIG).
The remaining capital will fund strategic acquisitions in sports, media, and gaming, expanding the company's recurring-revenue base, as well as the expansion of tokenization & other Web 3 capabilities.
SEGG Media also announced a strategic partnership with ZIGChain, a purpose-built blockchain for real-world asset tokenization. ZIGChain provides the technological and regulatory foundation for the company's validator operations and tokenized asset programs.
This model aims to create recurring on-chain yield while scaling the company into a next-generation digital media and entertainment group.
SEGG Media's Web3 roadmap goes beyond holding digital assets.
Anchored by Sports.com, the company plans to develop a fully tokenized sports and entertainment ecosystem built on four core pillars, namely Digital Asset Treasury & Validator Yield for sustainable, yield-generating multi-crypto operations, Sports Tokenization Ecosystem focused on tokenized assets enabling fan ownership, athlete IP monetization, and global engagement via ZIGChain, Sports Exchange Initiative allowing fans to trade tokenized teams and sports IP and Strategic Acquisitions involving deployment of validator income into cash-generative assets across sports, media, and gaming.
The company plans to roll out the initiative in four stages. In the first month, it will activate the Advisory Board, set up validators, and seed the treasury.
Over the next six months, it will pilot tokenization projects under Sports.com using ZIGChain and integrate validator yields into corporate filings. Within the first year, it will expand the Sports Exchange platform and introduce tokenized fan assets.
By 18 months, the company aims to accomplish complete Web3 convergence with a multi-asset treasury, active validators, and a tokenized revenue structure.
Also this week, SEGG Media launched its new Sports.com App, now available on the Apple App Store and other marketplaces.
The app unifies SEGG Media's growing sports content portfolio into a single platform that delivers live streaming, highlights, and interactive fan experiences.
The launch follows record audience engagement from the October 24 match, which drew over 4.5 million new streams and pushed SEGG Media's total reach and interactions past 14.5 million.
Price Action: SEGG stock traded higher by 1.83% at $4.45 premarket at last check on Thursday.
