Prediction markets are having a moment.
Just recently, Intercontinental Exchange (the NYSE owner) put $2 billion into Polymarket. Days later, Robinhood popped after expanding its prediction markets offering, calling it one of its fastest-growing businesses.
Even legacy sportsbooks are getting in. DraftKings and FanDuel split from their trade group amid disagreements over prediction markets – then moved quickly to enter the category.
Major venture firms have deployed significant capital: Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Paradigm, and CME Group all have partnered with operators to enter the space.
When institutions start leaning in, it’s a sign the market is maturing fast.
But here’s the problem for retail investors – nearly every major player is private. Retail investors face a wall.
Polymarket? Private.
Kalshi? Private.
Billion-dollar valuations, institutional backing, significant growth potential – but no public market access.
One small company is positioning itself as one of the few public vehicles tied to this trend.
The early-entry player just locked up something the sector runs on: enterprise-grade, real-time sports data across the NHL, NFL, NBA, MLB, EPL, and the World Cup.
In prediction markets sports drive the action, making up about 70% of total volume.
That’s the kind of infrastructure move that can separate leaders from followers.
Learn more about their strategy, and the enterprise data deal that could give it a head start as the sector expands.

5 Stocks to Buy in February: Last Year’s Winners Aren’t Done Yet
Authored by Thomas Hughes. Published: 1/29/2026.
In Brief
- Many of 2025’s top-performing stocks remain well-positioned for 2026 as key trends continue to strengthen.
- Analysts broadly expect double-digit upside for these names, with several positioned to challenge or set new highs.
- Forward expectations may still be conservative, leaving room for a cycle of outperformance and upward revisions as catalysts play out.
2026 is well underway and off to a bullish start. The S&P 500 and other major indices are ending January at record highs, and the Russell 2000 (INDEXRUSSELL: RUT), which tracks small-cap stocks, is leading the charge. Sector rotation observed over the past 18 months is accelerating. While tech and big tech remain central to the outlook, leadership is broadening to include a wider range of names and risk profiles. Five stocks that led in 2025 still have momentum heading into 2026—and February could offer better entry points.
Advanced Micro Devices Approaches NVIDIA-Like Inflection
Advanced Micro Devices’ (NASDAQ: AMD) share price is set to finish January more than 25% higher than its early-month lows. The move confirms support at last year’s critical resistance level and reinforces the growth outlook tied to the MI450 launch. That launch, scheduled for later this year, could produce an NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA)-like result for the business, potentially driving triple-digit growth in datacenter revenue and systemwide expansion.

Based on current forecasts, the stock appears to be trading at a deep discount to what may be conservative analyst estimates. Sentiment is turning notably bullish: January saw numerous coverage initiations, the Moderate Buy rating firm up, and price targets trend higher. These sentiment shifts suggest the stock could reach the high end of analysts’ ranges—roughly 35% upside as of early 2026—with high-end targets likely to be raised through the year.
Amprius Technologies Cements Production Capacity Ahead of Q4 Release
Amprius Technologies (NYSE: AMPX) is up roughly 50% from recent lows as markets prepare for its Q4 fiscal 2025 (FY2025) earnings release, slated for late March. The report is expected to confirm a strengthening order pipeline, ramping production and a clearer pathway to profitability.
Recent developments include adding three South Korean battery manufacturers to its production alliance, putting Amprius ahead of schedule and on track to meet goals such as cost reduction and lower cash burn. Analysts are optimistic, rating the stock a Moderate Buywith about 35% upside from the $12 critical resistance level.
Credo Technologies Pulls Back Into a Buying Opportunity
Credo Technologies’ (NASDAQ: CRDO) pullback is still underway but presents a compelling buying opportunity. The decline contrasts with improving results and strengthening analyst sentiment. MarketBeat data show that coverage increased significantly over the trailing 12 months, sentiment firmed from Moderate Buy to Buy, and price targets moved higher.
Consensus estimates have climbed, with January trends showing meaningful improvement year-over-year and implying roughly 70% upside, as many forecasts point to the high end of the range. The likely catalyst is the Q3 FY2026 report in early March; Credo is central to advanced datacenter technology, AI and inference, and should show that strength.
Bloom Energy Blossoms Under Data Center Demand
Bloom Energy’s (NYSE: BE) low-emission, high-efficiency fuel cells are well-suited to applications such as data centers, where traditional grid connections can be a hurdle. They enable faster, lower-cost deployment and operation. While not a solution for very large installations, rising demand from targeted applications is driving revenue growth and improving profitability.
Bloom Energy posted sequential and year-over-year growth of more than 50% in Q3 and is expected to sustain high-double-digit growth into Q4 FY2025 and 2026. Earnings should expand even faster, improving analysts’ outlooks. The 26 MarketBeat-tracked analysts rate the stock as a Hold, but coverage has grown substantially over the trailing 12 months, sentiment is firming toward Moderate Buy, and the consensus price target has risen sharply—about 400%. While the stock has lagged the broader market, January forecasts point to another roughly 20% upside this year.
Applied Digital Breaks Out After Solid Results
Applied Digital’s (NASDAQ: APLD) Q2 FY2026 results were precisely what the market wanted: revenue nearly doubled year-over-year and topped consensus estimates. The strong quarter reinforced a bullish outlook, including the near completion of its second campus, which is expected to begin coming online this year.
The second campus is largely sold out, and new contracts—such as one with CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV)—suggest a third campus will be needed soon. Analysts reacted positively to the results, with coverage initiations, upgrades and price-target increases pointing toward the high end of the range and implying as much as 50% upside from the breakout point.
