Robinhood Markets Inc (HOOD) has become a go-to platform for retail investors, and the company just gave us a peek into what its millions of users have been buying and selling in 2026. The brokerage released its list of the top 10 most-traded stocks for the first four months of the year, covering January 1 through May 1.
Unsurprisingly, the list is packed with familiar names. Here's the full ranking based on overall trading volume (buys and sells combined):
- Nvidia Corp (NVDA)
- Tesla Inc (TSLA)
- Micron Technology (MU)
- SanDisk Corp (SNDK)
- Robinhood Markets (HOOD)
- Microsoft Corp (MSFT)
- Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)
- Amazon.com Inc (AMZN)
- Palantir Technologies (PLTR)
- Meta Platforms Inc (META)
Five of the Magnificent Seven made the cut, but Apple (AAPL) and Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) were notably absent. The list also includes two standout performers in 2026: Micron and SanDisk. Both have been among the top-performing large-cap stocks this year, and Robinhood users have been actively trading them as their share prices climbed.
Robinhood unveiled the data alongside the launch of a new free newsletter called EntryPoint, which aims to provide investors with news and trading insights. The company also shared some interesting tidbits about retail behavior, including how users often bought the dip after macroeconomic events sent the market lower.
For anyone following retail trading trends, the top 10 list probably doesn't come as a shock. It's a mix of tech giants, AI plays, and a couple of memory-chip makers that have been on a tear. Nvidia, of course, continues to dominate as the poster child for the AI boom, while Tesla remains a perennial favorite among Robinhood's younger user base.
