Throughout 2024, certain small-cap gems in<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/russell-2000"> the Russell 2000</a> soared past expectations and gained over 1,000% year-to-date.
Using a methodology focused on high-trading-volume tech stocks with &#8220;buy&#8221; ratings or better, Benzinga identified three winners.
Analysts still see room to run — here's why.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Rigetti Computing: YTD Gain — 1,578%</h2>
Quantum computing isn't just a buzzword — it's becoming big business. Rigetti Computing Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>) is leading the charge, with its Quantum Cloud Services (QCS) platform and innovative quantum processors.
Why the surge? Rigetti's picks-and-shovels business model positions it as the backbone of quantum computing. Its cloud platform integrates seamlessly with traditional hardware, making quantum power more accessible. Analysts liken Rigetti to an early-stage Nvidia, and with its strong cash position, the company seems primed for further innovation.
Caveat: Revenue is still modest ($2.4 million in the third quarter of 2024) and losses remain steep. But if Rigetti can crack the code on scaling quantum tech, the potential payoff could be massive.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. D-Wave Quantum: YTD Gain — 1,107%</h2>
D-Wave Quantum Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>) is redefining problem-solving with its Quantum Computing as a Service (QCaaS) model. Its annealing quantum computers, capable of solving logistical and financial optimization problems, have captured investor interest.
The appeal lies in D-Wave's focus on real-world applications, from supply chain optimization to drug discovery. Its cloud-based tools make quantum computing accessible, while collaborations with major industries hint at a bright future.
Challenges? Like its peers, D-Wave's revenue ($9.4 million) pales compared to its operating losses ($74 million). Yet, the stock's meteoric rise reflects growing confidence in the transformative potential of its tech.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. SoundHound AI: YTD Gain — 1,064%</h2>
SoundHound AI Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOUN#NASDAQ">SOUN</a>) is riding the AI wave, with a 89% revenue increase in the third quarter of 2024. Its secret sauce? Partnerships like one with Apivia Courtage, where its AI tools have revolutionized customer interactions by reducing direct inquiries by 20%.
The company is expanding into healthcare, retail, and finance, aiming to cement its role in conversational AI. With analysts setting ambitious price targets, SoundHound is proving there's plenty of room left in the AI market.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stocks To Watch</h2>
From quantum computing to conversational AI, these three stocks have delivered jaw-dropping returns in 2024. While risks abound in these nascent industries, their explosive potential makes them ones to watch. 
Whether you're a tech enthusiast or an investor seeking the next big thing, the future of these companies — and their stock prices — could be truly transformative.

Javier Milei took office as the President of Argentina in December 2023 and took his trademark chainsaw to the country's economic policies. Interest in several Argentina-based stocks has been rising as his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42513867/elon-musk-praises-argentinas-31-spending-cuts-under-milei-but-what-about-the-recession">drastic reforms take hold. </a>
What To Know: Milei, a self-described anarcho-capitalist, has implemented significant economic reforms since he took office almost exactly one year ago. He cut spending on government programs, including healthcare, welfare, and education, substantially and dismissed more than 30,000 government employees. 
Argentina's monthly rate of inflation has come down from 25% in December 2023 to 2.4% in December 2024 and the country achieved a fiscal surplus for the first time in 15 years.&nbsp;

While Milei&#8217;s policies have reduced inflation and boosted market performance, they have also led to increased poverty and unemployment rates, with significant challenges for the working class. However, a Gallup poll conducted at the one-year mark of Milei&#8217;s presidency shows his personal approval rating at 48%. 
Businesses in Argentina appear to be thriving under Milei's administration, with the country's stock market, as measured by the S&amp;P Mervel Index, up more than 175% in 2024.
The Global X MSCI Argentina ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARGT#NYSE">ARGT</a>), which invests in companies with exposure to Argentina and tracks the MSCI All Argentina 25/50 Index, has gained more than 65% year-to-date.&nbsp;
MercadoLibre, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MELI#NASDAQ">MELI</a>), a Latin American e-commerce company based in Argentina, is up 10% this year and shares of YPF SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YPF#NYSE">YPF</a>), an Argentina-based oil and gas company, have soared more than 150% in 2024.&nbsp;
Analysts at BBVA Research <a href="https://www.bbvaresearch.com/en/publicaciones/argentina-economic-outlook-december-2024/">said that after</a> a brief recession in 2024, fourth-quarter data showed improvements which are complemented by renewed confidence in Argentina's government.&nbsp;
BBVA Research sees a recovery for the economy in 2025 driven by private consumption and investment,&nbsp; "creating a positive outlook for 2025."

ICICI Bank's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBN#NYSE">IBN</a>) short percent of float has fallen 14.05% since its last report.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for ICICI Bank has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing ICICI Bank's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, ICICI Bank's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.04%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
