Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Are Secretly Monitoring But Not Talking About Yet

Investors are on the hunt for undervalued, under followed and emerging stocks. Retail traders have countless methods at their disposal to uncover new information.

For some, this may be overwhelming.

Benzinga’s Stock Whisper Index uses a combination of proprietary data and pattern recognition to showcase five stocks each week that are just under the surface and warrant attention.

The index layers editorial commentary to help make sense of why these stocks should be of interest and whether investors and casual readers should watch them.

Here is a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week of Sept. 15, 2023.

MicroCloud Hologram HOLO: The holographic technology company saw shares trade higher and gain interest from investors to start the week. The stock was halted several times in the early part of the trading week, before shares traded significantly lower on Thursday and Friday.
