Happy weekend everyone! Can’t wait to start my day off with a dentist appointment later, followed by a Denver Nuggets game.
What do you have planned today?
At the start of the year, I created a "Hottest Stocks on X" watchlist that featured all of the stocks that people seemed to be talking about the most on this platform.
At the moment only 5 out of the original 18 stocks are currently showing a profit:
Unsurprisingly, Nebius $NBIS is the biggest winner, up 30% so far in 2026, but Kraken Robotics $KRKNF, another hugely popular stock on here, is also having a great year with a 28.75% gain so far.
The space stocks are also performing very strongly, with Redwire $RDW, the picks and shovels supplier to the space industry, up 28.03%, and AST Spacemobile $ASTS, the provider of a space-based cellular broadband network, up 27.52%.
Rocket Lab $RKLB is also only down 2.91% this year, which is not a bad performance in this weak market.
With regards to the losers, there are lots of very popular stocks that are down very heavily in 2026.
EOS Energy $EOSE is the worst performer, down 56.63%, but Hims & Hers Health $HIMS is also down 41.05%, and then you have $SOFI, which is down 39.46%, and Robinhood $HOOD, which is down 39.08%.
One of the most popular names in recent months is Zeta Global $ZETA, but this too is down 22.41% in 2026.
So it's been a tough year for anyone who is holding many of these names because although some have performed well, quite a few have taken a severe beating in the first quarter of 2026.
