Honorable Mentions: The following stocks were the 11th to 20th most-searched tickers on Benzinga Pro in May 2023.

11. GSI Technology, Inc. GSIT

12. Top KingWin Ltd TCJH

13. Alphabet Inc GOOGGOOGL

14. Nano-X Imaging Ltd NNOX

The top 10 most-searched tickers on Benzinga Pro in May saw six carryovers from the month of April. Dropping out of the top 10 from April were First Republic Bank, Guardforce AI Co Ltd GFAI, CXApp Inc CXAI and Microsoft Corporation MSFT.

Most surprising might be the drop of Microsoft, which ranked in the top 10 in the previous four months before falling to 22nd place in the month of May.

The drop of GFAI and CXAI might also show that investors are paying less attention to artificial intelligence stocks outside of Nvidia and C3.ai.

Semiconductor stocks Nvidia and AMD both moved up the list ranking third and fourth for the month of May, respectively.

Palantir made a surprise entry in the top 10, after previously ranking outside the top 20 in all other months in 2023. The stock was previously ranked as a top ticker on Benzinga Pro in 2021. 

The 11th through 20th tickers feature many names new to the list with names that may be unrecognizable to most investors outside of Alphabet, Meta Platforms and Upstart.
