Discover under-the-radar stocks soaring over 100% as volatility shakes the S&P 500. These overlooked names are quietly outperforming expectations.

Under The Radar Stocks with big gains in the market

The recent S&P 500 selloff, which dragged the index into correction territory, has many investors retreating—but that could mean missing out on some of the best under-the-radar opportunities in years. While near-term volatility driven by geopolitical uncertainty continues to shake confidence, the broader backdrop is starting to favor disciplined stock pickers.

Valuations for the Magnificent 7 have dropped to their lowest level relative to the broader market in over a year. At the same time, global stocks trading at a discount are quietly delivering standout returns. Investors who focus only on headline moves in the S&P may be overlooking names that are not just resilient—but outperforming by a wide margin.

Apple Inc-12.45%
NVIDIA Corp-15.78%
Microsoft Corp-8.22%
Amazon.com Inc-11.72%
Alphabet Inc-A-14.26%

A few of the North American stocks that have seen their share prices soar over 100% this year include:

With growing market demand, the company remains focused on helping physician partners provide high-quality, cost-effective care to seniors while aiming for long-term, sustainable financial performance.

For investors willing to look beyond the noise, these insights are uncovering a wave of opportunities hiding in plain sight. Some stocks that have soared over 50% YTD include:
