Swing traders and long-term investors rarely find common ground. However, in 2025, three small stocks have been making traders rich. They each carry significant risk, but that volatility has served traders well this year. Each of these stocks has significantly outperformed the broader market, even some Magnificent Seven names like NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA).
However, just because these companies aren’t well known doesn’t mean they’re not good long-term investments. Each of these stocks has a long-term thesis that can be compelling to buy-and-hold investors. That is, if they have the risk tolerance for speculative stocks. Plus, these are established companies that haven’t been on investors’ radar.
