Retail investors are finally returning to the stock market as a new bull run begins and as investor sentiment starts to improve, according to Vanda Research.
A combination of better-than-expected economic data, a resilient jobs market, and growing hype around the potential of artificial intelligence have been just a few factors that have driven stock prices higher over the past few weeks.
“With an average flow into US markets of $1.36 billion per day over the past week, retail traders are officially back in the mix after a three-month lull,” Vanda Research said in a recent note.
The research firm tracked the top stocks that have seen the most buying from retail investors over the past week, with names including mega-cap tech firms, companies exposed to the AI gold rush, and a beaten down telecom company.
These are the top 10 stocks purchased by retail investors over the past week, according to Vanda Research.
