Search Interest Changes
The month of April saw three of the top 10 return to the top 10 from the month of March. Several of the top 10 this month have placed in the top 10 in various months throughout 2026, often rotating based on headlines and earnings timelines.
New to the top 10 for 2026 were Linkers, Avis Budget and Sky Quarry.
Intel rejoined the top 10 for the first time since the month of January, which comes with the chip stock posting impressive year-to-date gains. SanDisk also returned to the top 10 for the first time since February.
Among the biggest movers for the month outside the newcomers was Tesla going from 11th place to second place. Micron and Nvidia also moved up the top 10 list from last month.
Outside of several of the newcomers to the list, the top 10 was very heavily focused on the technology sector. The Invesco QQQ Trust, which tracks the top 100 stocks in the tech-heavy Nasdaq also rejoined the top 10 after moving out of the top 12 in March.
This month's top-searched tickers show continued interest in technology stocks, with a big focus on semiconductors and big movers.
