Why It’s Important: The top 10 list for the first six months of 2025 looked similar to the month of June, with eight of the companies the same.

UnitedHealth Group, which has appeared in only one top 20 over the past three months, ranked sixth thanks to the strong interest in the ticker at the start of the year.

Super Micro Computer similarly ranked eighth for the first half of 2025 despite only a ninth place rank in April and not being in the top 20 in May or June. The stock was particularly popular during the first three months of the year.

If the top 10 holds steady for the rest of the year, the top three stocks would match the 2024 year, but in a different order. In 2024, it was Nvidia ranked first, followed by Tesla and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. The three stocks now rank in opposite order through the first six months of the year.

Outside of the top 10 there weren’t many huge surprises with themes such as cryptocurrency, AI and quantum computing being strong in the first six months of 2025.

Apple ended the first half of the year ranked 12^th, despite previously ranking in the top 10 in several months to start the year. Other Mag 7 stocks such as Amazon and Meta also ranked in the 11 to 20. Alphabet ranked just outside of the top 20 for the first half of the year at 22^nd place. Nowhere to be found in the top 25 was Microsoft, a member of the Mag 7 and the second most valuable company in the world.
