Making a lot of people potentially rich in the process.

As President Trump said…
This new form of currency is…
“The greatest revolution in financial technology since the birth of the internet itself.”

If you know what to do…
You could walk away from this revolution with some of the biggest gains you've ever seen.

3 High-Risk Stocks That Soared in 2025 But Can Still Fly Higher
Written by Chris Markoch. Date Posted: 2/6/2026.
Key Points
- High-risk stocks may be out of favor in 2026, but select growth stocks that surged in 2025 still offer upside in a stock picker’s market.
- FTAI Aviation, Kratos Defense, and Monte Rosa Therapeutics each gained over 100% in 2025 and remain supported by strong sector tailwinds and upcoming catalysts.
- Despite elevated valuations, analysts continue raising price targets, suggesting these speculative stocks could keep climbing in 2026.
There is a growing sentiment that high-risk stocks—particularly some high-growth tech names—will be out of favor in 2026. It's helpful to consider that statement in two ways.
Broadly, that's largely true. Investors can already see evidence of sector rotation. Industrial stocks and large-cap, blue-chip dividend payers remind investors that boring can be beautiful. Many of these names also look undervalued—at least relative to their own histories.
The day the gold market broke (Ad)
On September 14th, 2023, something big happened that didn't make the news. The price gap between London gold and Shanghai gold blew out to $120 an ounce. For years, that gap was a few dollars, maybe $5 or $10. A 20x jump in seconds isn't a glitch, it's the system breaking. Traders tried to buy gold in London to sell in Shanghai, but hit a wall. The London vaults were empty. Since that day, gold has hit 53 all-time highs. One stock is positioned to capture the bulk of this wealth transfer.
See the full story on this opportunity now.But it will remain a stock-picker's market. Some high-risk stocks that made investors rich in 2025 can still be attractive in 2026, provided investors are selective.
If you have room in your portfolio for a bit of speculation, here are three stocks that rose more than 100% in 2025 and still appear to have upside in 2026.
All three might look expensive if they competed in different sectors. But because of their industry exposure and upcoming catalysts, investors seem willing to overlook lofty valuations.
Aerospace Demand and AI Partnerships Fuel Ongoing Momentum
FTAI Aviation (NASDAQ: FTAI) is an aircraft equipment manufacturer and lessor. FTAI's stock has surged on strong demand for new aircraft. The company announced two partnerships in 2025 that helped lift the share price.
A collaboration with GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE) enables FTAI to service engines from CFM International, the GE–Safran joint venture. A separate deal with Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) is helping FTAI use artificial intelligence to achieve "faster production turnaround times and improved unit economics."
Those partnerships have helped investors overlook FTAI's elevated valuation. As of Feb. 5, FTAI is up more than 125% over the last 12 months and about 34% in 2026, pushing it near the consensus analyst price target.
Analysts have been raising targets since the start of the year. Royal Bank of Canada (NYSE: RY) currently has the highest target at $350, which would imply roughly a 32% upside.
Investors will get more clarity when FTAI reports earnings on Feb. 22. Analysts forecast year-over-year (YOY) revenue and earnings growth of about 34% and 48%, respectively.
Defense and Drone Spending Drive a High-Risk Growth Story
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (NASDAQ: KTOS) provides national security and defense systems to government and military customers and is well known for its work supplying drones.
Kratos has delivered solid YOY revenue gains. Investors are currently overlooking the lagging growth in earnings per share (EPS) and the company's high valuation because of its strong positioning in defense and space markets.
KTOS shares have a similar trajectory to FTAI: up more than 150% over the past 12 months and about 16% so far in 2026. The stock sits roughly 7% below its consensus price target of $95.28. Analysts have been raising targets recently, with Stifel Nicolaus posting the highest target of $134. Kratos is scheduled to report earnings on Feb. 25.
Biotech Breakout Powered by AI-Driven Drug Discovery
Biotech has been one of the hottest sectors, but each stock's risk-reward profile varies. Monte Rosa Therapeutics (NASDAQ: GLUE) has been a particular favorite.
Monte Rosa is a clinical-stage company focused on drug discovery that integrates single-cell genomics and AI. GLUE is up about 183% over the last 12 months and roughly 23% year-to-date.
Recent gains followed positive interim data from a Phase 1 study of MRT-8102, a drug candidate being developed for inflammatory conditions.
Despite strong appreciation, GLUE still trades below $20 and has a consensus price target of $31.33, implying approximately 62% upside from its Feb. 5 price. Piper Sandler recently matched Wedbush with a $37 target. Investors will hear more about progress when Monte Rosa reports earnings on March 19.
