Why It’s Important: Tesla retook the crown in March as the most-searched ticker on Benzinga Pro, narrowly edgeing out the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. Tesla ranked first or second in many searches over the past two years and finished 2024 as the second most-searched ticker before falling to fifth place in February.

The Invesco QQQ Trust was one of the biggest gainers in March going from 17^th place in February to fourth place in March. Apple also rejoined the top 10 going from 16^th place to eighth place.

Super Mico Computer, which ranked first in the month of February, fell to ninth place in March. The company continues to be one of the most-searched tickers on Benzinga Pro in recent months.

The list of most-searched tickers in March looked significantly different, with only seven of the top 10 coming from the list of the 20 most-searched tickers in February. Of those seven tickers, five ranked in the top 10 in both February and March.

Newcomers in March included MicroAlgo, Visionary Holdings and D-Wave Quantum. Each of these stocks had major news in the month.

MicroAlgo announced a $20 million offering in March

Visionary Holdings announced a $1 billion financing deal with Qatar’s Alfardan Group to help support R&D and global expansion of new energy vehicles.

D-Wave reported fourth-quarter bookings of $18.3 million, up 502% year-over-year.

In the 11^th through 20^th positions, Amazon, Intel and Applovin were the carryovers from February’s top 20 most-searched tickers. The stocks ranked 13^th, 18^th and 14^th, respectively, in the month of March.

Of the 10 stocks ranked 11^th to 20^th, five were among the 20 most-searched tickers in 2024 with Amazon, Intel, MicroStrategy, Meta Platforms and Microsoft all ranking in the top 20.

Among the notable stocks to miss out on the March list was Advanced Micro Devices Inc AMD, which ranked 11th in February and was the sixth most-searched ticker on Benzinga Pro in 2024.
