Why It's Important: April’s top four most-searched tickers were the same as the previous month but in a different order. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF took the lead for April, followed by Nvidia, with Tesla dropping from first to third place. The Invesco QQQ Trust ranked fourth for a second-straight month, possibly indicating strong interest in tech stocks for the month once again.

Six of the same tickers were in the top 10 for the month of March, with Palantir and Apple ranking seventh and eighth, respectively.

Four newcomers to the top 10 in April were all names that had not been on a previous top 20 list.

American Rebel, iCoreConnect, DeFi Development and Newsmax were the newcomers to the top 10 list. Many of the stocks saw halts and surged during April.

Newsmax held its IPO on March 31 and saw the stock surge during its debut. The conservative cable news network priced shares at $10 per share and saw the stock close over $80 in its market debut. Shares hit a high of $265 after going public before pulling back. Like other stocks related to President Donald Trump, Newsmax may have seen increased interest, with conservative news seeing increased viewership during the current presidency.

DeFi Development may have been one of the most interesting stocks in April. The company changed its name from Janover to DeFi Development and announced a strategic direction shift to become a crypto treasury company focused on Solana SOL/USD.

The company now holds over 300,000 SOL and is raising money to purchase more Solana. Along with the strategic direction change and a new name, the stock saw increased interest and value.

In the 11^th to 20^th ranks, another new company ranked 12^th, with Webull Corp recently completing its SPAC merger in April. The stock surged during the transaction closing, hitting a high of nearly $80.

Criticism of the company's ties to China and national security concerns, including by Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), knocked Webull shares down shortly after the debut momentum.

Amazon.com and Meta Platforms were the only stocks from March's top 20 to appear in April's top 20, totaling eight of the same 20 from the previous month.

Advanced Micro Devices returned to the top 20 list in April, ranking 18th. The stock slipped out of the top 20 in March after ranking 11th in February and sixth overall for 2024.

Of the notable companies that dropped out of the top 20, Super Micro Computer SMCI fell out after ranking ninth in March and first overall in February.
