After two months in the top position, Nvidia fell to second place for May. The stock continued as one of the most searched and top performers of the past year.
Another big storyline based on the searches on Benzinga Pro could be related to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC). Stocks like Marathon Digital, MicroStrategy and Coinbase have frequently appeared as the top 20 searched tickers on Benzinga Pro each month. Only Coinbase ranked in the top 20 in May and it was in the 20th position, suggesting investors may not be looking at cryptocurrency-related stocks as much now as the first part of the year.
Super Micro Computer ranked in the top 11 for January, February and March, hitting a peak of 3rd place in February. The stock dropped back out of the top 10 ranking 14th in May.
After not ranking in the top 20 in January or February, Palantir ranked 11th in March and found its way into the top 10 for May in 10th place.
Faraday Future has been popular with investors despite financial struggles. The stock ranked fifth in May and will be an interesting stock to watch for the search history going forward.
