Why It's Important: Tesla, regularly among the most searched tickers on the site, climbed the leaderboard to be the most-searched ticker on Benzinga Pro in October. The stock was third in the past two months, but ranked first in July.

Nvidia ranked second in October, dropping from first place over the last two months. The technology giant briefly passed Apple and Microsoft to be the most valuable company in the world.

One of the biggest movers in October was Trump Media & Technology Group, a media company co-founded by former President Donald Trump. The stock has surged in recent weeks ahead of Election Day. Trump's odds of winning the 2024 presidential election have increased across prediction markets and sports betting apps.

The stock has also been highlighted as a potential short-squeeze stock with high short interest. A 2024 election win by Trump could see the stock shoot higher. Likewise, the stock could fall significantly if Trump loses the election.

Trump Media & Technology Group will likely be among the most searched tickers on Benzinga Pro in November with Election Day happening on Nov. 5. The stock was the 20^th most searched ticker in September and wasn't in the top 20 in August or July, ranking just outside the top 20.

The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust falls to fourth place from second in the past two months, likely due more to the surge in interest in the stocks mentioned above and not less interest in the S&P 500 market index. Although it should be noted that the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF, which tracks the Nasdaq 100 Index, fell from sixth place to 15^th in October, potentially signaling less interest in ETFs and market indexes.

Other newcomers to the top 10 were Bright Minds Biosciences, Tevogen Bio and Oklo, who have each not previously been among the top 20 most-searched tickers in any given month. Tevogen shares have fallen significantly in 2024, while Bight Minds Sciences and Oklo are each up over 100% in 2024.

Advanced Micro Devices also returned to the top 10, ranking seventh, which comes after falling out of the top 20 in September. The stock has regularly gone back and forth between the top 10 and top 20 each month in 2024.

Dropping out of the top 10 along with Invesco QQQ were Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust WHLR, Galmed Pharmaceuticals GLMD, Intel Corporation INTC and Intuitive Machines LUNR.  

Overall the month of October saw five of the same top 10 tickers from September and eight of the top 20 tickers from September.
