The top ten most-searched tickers on Benzinga Pro in April saw only four carryovers from March: the SPY, Tesla, NVIDIA and Apple. The carryovers were among the five most-searched tickers in March, but NVIDIA and Apple dropped to eighth and tenth respectively last month.
Bank stocks and artificial intelligence stocks were also hot and highly volatile in April, which explains the inclusion of First Republic, GuardforceAI, C3.ai and CXAPP Inc.
Amazon, which typically hovers in the top 20, soared to fourth place after its quarterly earnings were reported in April. Microsoft also climbed to ninth after not being in the top 20 in February or March, following its report on its quarterly financial results in April.
Notable stocks that dropped out of the top 20 in April were Moderna Inc (NASDAQ:MRNA), which was in the top 20 in January, February and March, and AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:AMC), which was also in the top 20 during that span.
