Top 10 Trending Stocks on Yahoo Finance Right Now
Small-cap speculation and blue-chip pullbacks define today’s trending tickers on Yahoo Finance.
In a day full of surprises, Yahoo Finance’s “Trending Now” leaderboard offers a snapshot of the stocks that investors can’t stop clicking on. The list cuts across sectors and market caps, with microcaps like SharpLink Gaming (NASDAQ: SBET) and Regencell Bioscience (NASDAQ: RGC) stealing the spotlight from household names such as Uber (NYSE: UBER) and Best Buy (NYSE: BBY).
Let’s break down what’s moving—and why these names are dominating the Yahoo Finance trending section today.
1. Uber Slides Despite Strong Interest
Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) leads the trending pack, though not for bullish reasons. The stock dropped 4.49% to $84.30 as over 35 million shares changed hands—well above its 3-month average. Despite the selloff, Uber remains up more than 37% over the past year, with traders likely monitoring profit-taking or sector-wide rotation out of gig economy plays.
2. AI Heats Up Again
C3.ai (NYSE: AI) surged 20.76% to $27.80, continuing its rollercoaster ride amid renewed hype around artificial intelligence. With 53.7 million shares traded today, more than 13x its average volume, retail traders are clearly betting on a comeback. AI’s short interest and volatile trading history make it a perennial favorite for momentum chasers.
3. Regencell’s Explosive Breakout
Small-cap biotech Regencell Bioscience (NASDAQ: RGC) exploded 41.41% higher to $740.98. Despite its low trading volume of under 50,000 shares, the stock has drawn massive attention thanks to a staggering 10,963% 52-week gain. Such dramatic moves often follow patent news or clinical trial speculation, though the company has yet to release new updates.
4. SharpLink Goes Parabolic
SharpLink Gaming (NASDAQ: SBET) jumped 171.64% to $79.21, making it the biggest percentage gainer on the list. With just over 19 million shares traded, this microcap sports betting tech firm caught fire in what appears to be a classic low-float breakout. Its market cap now stands at $55 million—still tiny—making it ripe for continued volatility.
5. e.l.f. Beauty Impresses the Street
Consumer goods name e.l.f. Beauty (NYSE: ELF) surged 23.58% to $111.84 on strong volume. Investors applauded the company’s steady growth and cult-favorite branding, despite broader retail sector weakness. The stock is still down over 50% from its 52-week high, but today’s action shows it’s back on traders’ radars in a big way.
6. Salesforce Slumps on Heavy Volume
Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) dropped 3.3% to $266.92, with nearly 27 million shares traded—quadruple its daily average. As a tech heavyweight, CRM often moves in tandem with broader Nasdaq sentiment, and today’s pullback likely reflects rotation out of large-cap software following earnings from industry peers.
7. Lucid Group Extends Slide
Electric vehicle maker Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) fell 8.37% to $2.41, continuing a downtrend that has erased nearly 9% over the past year. The company’s production setbacks and capital burn remain key concerns for investors. Still, with more than 261 million shares traded, Lucid remains one of the most watched names in the EV space.
8. Arista Networks Sees Selling Pressure
Cloud networking giant Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET) lost 6.92% to settle at $86.37. Though up 22% over the past year, today’s drop may signal technical resistance after a prolonged rally. Investors are closely watching margin trends and data center demand amid rising competition.
9. Harvard Bioscience Roars Back
After flying under the radar for months, Harvard Bioscience (NASDAQ: HBIO) soared 135.74% to $0.67. With volume hitting an eye-popping 627 million shares, the market clearly took notice. Though still trading below $1, the company’s market cap has ballooned to nearly $30 million. With a 91% loss over the last year, today’s bounce appears to be a high-risk speculative rebound.
10. Best Buy Drops on Retail Weakness
Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) declined 7.27% to $66.32 after posting a disappointing Q1 earnings report, which saw the company cut its 2025 guidance. Investors have grown cautious about big-box earnings, and BBY’s underperformance today reflects those broader fears. Despite the drop, the stock remains popular among value and dividend-focused investors.
What This Mix Tells Us
The current crop of Yahoo’s top trending stocks tells a fascinating story. On one end, you’ve got speculative microcaps like SBET, RGC, and HBIO posting triple-digit intraday gains. On the other hand, blue-chip staples like Uber, Best Buy, and Salesforce are drawing attention for sharp selloffs.
This divergence shows that investors are hunting for both deep value and moonshot growth in the same breath. While caution is warranted—especially on the low-float runners—the sheer variety in today’s leaderboard speaks volumes about the market’s current appetite for risk, volatility, and opportunity.
Stay tuned, because when stocks start trending on Yahoo Finance, it’s usually just the beginning of the story.
