Each week, Benzinga’s Stock Whisper Index uses a combination of proprietary data and pattern recognition to showcase five stocks that are just under the surface and deserve attention.
Investors are constantly on the hunt for undervalued, under-followed and emerging stocks. With countless methods available to retail traders, the challenge often lies in sifting through the abundance of information to uncover new opportunities and understand why certain stocks should be of interest.
Here’s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending July 17:
Twin Vee Powercats (NASDAQ:VEE) The powerboats company saw strong interest from readers as shares surged during the week. The company announced a merger Monday with a subsidiary of USFM Corporation. The company also announced it will spin off it Twin Vee and Bahama Boat Works marine business as part of the agreement. Twin Vee stock was up 220% over the last five days of trading, but shares remain down over 40% year-to-date. The stock is one to watch with the pending merger and spinoff of the boats business.
SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI): The fintech company is seeing strong interest from readers ahead of upcoming quarterly financial results. The company launched SoFi Small Business Loans recently, which could expand its customer base. SoFi is also listed as a corporate backer of Trump Accounts, which is helping to highlight the company’s investment platform. Goldman Sachs recently maintained a Neutral rating on the stock while raising the price target from $17 to $21. The company will report second quarter results on July 29. Analysts expect quarterly revenue of $1.11 billion. The company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in more than 10 straight quarters. Earnings per share have been less consistent with the company missing estimates in the first quarter after six straight quarterly beats.
Rackspace Technology (NASDAQ:RXT): The cloud company saw strong interest from readers, which comes after Benzinga featured an exclusive interview with the company’s CFO Mark Marino. In the interview, Marino said Rackspace has moved beyond its past capabilities and can now "own the result" instead of just being a reseller. "We have built the platform, and we are now scaling it," Marino told Benzinga. The Rackspace executive said the company is signing partnerships and ramping up its pipeline into converted revenue. Rackspace stock is up over 300% year-to-date in 2026, but the stock was hurt by guidance with shares down 45% over the last month. The company slashed its full-year outlook recently for revenue as it exits low-margin businesses.
Sadot Group Inc (NASDAQ:SDOT): With a market capitalization of around $15 million and a recent short report, Sadot Group stock comes with a warning against its surge in interest among Benzinga readers. Shares surged during the week after announcing $200 million in financing access and the acquisition of TradeIQ being completed. The acquisition is expected to boost the company’s predictive-intelligence for commodity trading and risk management. Fugazi Research recently said the company is "uninvestable" and has "zero fundamental value." The short report said the company makes rapid business pivots and has hurt its balance sheet over time. Sadot shares have traded between $2.63 and $460.00 over the last 52 weeks and been highly volatile.
Ondas Inc (NASDAQ:ONDS): The drone company saw shares trade higher after announcing plans to acquire DZYNE Technologies for $875.8 million. The deal is expected to help the company’s presence in the drone and autonomous vehicles segments and support larger defense programs. Along with the acquisition, the company raised its full-year revenue guidance from $390 million to a new total of $525 million or more. Needham recently maintained a Buy rating on the stock and lowered the price target from $23 to $19. Being in a hot sector like drones is helping draw attention to the stock, as is the company’s high short interest currently around 35% of the float.
