The Best Performing Stocks Of 2025 So Far


Doing Great...So, Far

We can't predict the future, but here we are a little over a month into the new year and these are the stocks that have been doing the best so far. Now we wish we'd bought these stocks at Christmas time instead of all those fruit cakes and ugly sweaters.

Inari Medical Inc

Inari produces and sells medical devices used in the treatment of venous diseases and on January 6th, Stryker Corp announced a $4.9 billion buyout of Inari at a price of $80 per share. Not only is that a big number, but $80 was 60% more than what Inari stock had closed at just the week before.

People don't seem to be expecting much more stock upside at this point, but in the month of January, Inari did see a 56% jump in its price. So, plenty of upside was enjoyed by those who got in before the buyout.

And speaking of buyouts and stock jumps...

H&E Equipment Services Inc

H&E Equipment Services Inc has a multi-billion dollar rental fleet of heavy construction and industrial equipment and just a couple weeks into 2025, United Rentals Inc announced that they were buying them out for almost $5 billion and a share value of $92. The stock is up just over 81%.

Grail Inc

Another health company that has had a very nice 2025 thus far is Grail Inc. In the business of early cancer detection, Grail's latest tests have shown much potential and minimal patient distress. The stock ended the first month of 2025 at $30—an almost 70% increase in just those first 31 days of the year.

OppFi Inc

Financial tech company OppFi Inc went public via a SPAC back in 2021 but have seen all-time highs reached in just the first month of 2025. While the company hasn't had any major news to report, they did see big income and revenue at the end of 2024, and people are assuming the new President will be a friend to the financial sector. Put all that together and OPFI stock has gained 78.9% in January.

Exodus Movement Inc

Do the terms "self-custodial" and "cryptocurrency" mean anything to you? If so, then Exodus Movement Inc might have already been on your radar when they made the jump from the OTCQX to the NYSE in December 2024. The stock had a nice rally to start the year and is already up 62.6% year to date.

Agilon Health Inc

Agilon Health Inc went public back in 2021 at $23 per share and if you'd bought it back then, well...that sucks—because over the next three years, the price fell precipitously and by the end of 2024, it was sitting at $2. But, if you'd decided to jump in at 2 bucks—well, Agilon Health Inc is up 75.7% so far in 2025.

Tempus AI Inc

You might've heard of this company at the start of the new year when former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi purchased 50 call options with a strike price of $20 that expire in January 2026. That, plus the company's launch of a new AI personal health concierge app, made for quite a nice January and they were up 69.9% at the end of it.

Oklo Inc

Oklo Inc develops nuclear fission reactors and is backed by Sam Altman (who you may know as the co-founder of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI). The company went public just last year and has rode the surging nuclear power stocks wave to the tune of a 96% increase in January alone.

Akero Therapeutics Inc

Biopharmaceutical company Akero Therapeutics Inc reported good results from their mid-stage clinical trial data of their possible treatment for cirrhosis—efruxifermin. That positive news was all it took for the stock to jump and shares are up 94.3%.

FuboTV Inc

What happened to make FuboTV Inc such a powerhouse in 2025 so far? Well, if you missed the news: The Walt Disney Company is going to combine its Hulu + Live TV business with Fubo—with the merger granting FuboTV investors a 30% stake in the combined company and a cash settlement of $220 million. Fubo's stock price has gone up over 220% since the news broke on January 6th.
