Why It’s Important: Nvidia was the top searched stock on Benzinga Pro for the month of September once again. The stock has ranked first or second for every month tracked since February, sometimes alternating with SPY or Tesla.

The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust ranked second for a second straight month, which comes as the S&P 500 tracking index hit new all-time highs in the month of September.

Tesla, which topped the month of July, has ranked third for two straight weeks. The stock has ranked among the top four stocks searched in each month tracked in 2024.

The bigger story in September were the newcomers and the stocks that dropped off.

Newcomers to the top 10 included Wheeler Real Estate, Galmed, Intel and Intuitive. Of the four stocks, only Intuitive had ranked in the top 20 over the last three months. The newcomers all had catalysts in the last month that made their stocks highly volatile.

On the 11^th through 20^th portion of the list, the stocks were all different from the previous month with Intuitive moving to the top 10 and Palantir going from 7^th to 12^th and the other stocks all new to the top 20.

Several of the companies ranked in the bottom part of the top 20 are penny stocks trading at less than $5 per share that saw wide moves that saw increased interest from Benzinga traders.

One of the bigger names to make the top 20, by name recognition, is Trump Media & Technology Group, the company that counts former President Donald Trump as a co-founder. The stock has been highly volatile during the 2024 election cycle.

Dropping out of the top 10 were Lumen Technologies LUMN, Advanced Micro Devices AMD, Geovax Labs GOVX and the aforementioned Palantir.

Other big names that exited the top 20 include Amazon.com Inc AMZN that was 13^th in August and fell to 24^th to narrowly miss the list.

Meta Platforms META, which has frequently appeared in the top 20 and was ranked 15^th in August dropped out of the top 20.

Overall the month of September saw six of the same top 10 tickers from August and eight of the top 20 tickers from August.
