Three Notable Shares that Have Already Doubled in Value by 2025
In the first few weeks of 2025, some stocks have already demonstrated incredible growth. Nine U.S. exchange-listed stocks with market caps exceeding $1 billion have doubled this year, and if we lower the bar to a market cap of $200 million, 19 publicly traded companies join the list. Three of these high-fliers are FuboTV, WeRide, and Hims & Hers Health. Let's dive into why these companies are tearing up the market in 2025.
1. FuboTV: Up 222%
One stock that has not only doubled but tripled this year is FuboTV. The live TV streaming service's ascent began following a significant announcement: Disney (DIS -1.71%) became a 70% stakeholder, merging its Hulu + Live TV platform with FuboTV.
At first, it appeared to be a shotgun wedding. Disney was partnering with two other media giants to launch Venu Sports, a streaming service that combined live sports programming for an impressive $43 a month. However, Fubo's successful injunction to block the launch last summer forced an about-face.
The new partnership between Fubo and Disney continues to thrive, with Disney's extensive audience reach and marketing muscle now backing Fubo’s live TV streaming service. Fubo had been gaining ground but struggled with profitability. However, with Disney on board, scalability and market reach have never been better.
2. WeRide: Up 122%
WeRide saw a massive jump in shares (81% in a single day) after Nvidia (NVDA -4.05%) became a minority investor. Despite a decline in revenue in previous years, WeRide's innovations in autonomous driving technology, coupled with Nvidia's AI support, have investors feeling confident about its future growth.
3. Hims & Hers Health: Up 150%
Telehealth specialist Hims & Hers Health saw shares soar 172% in 2024, fueled by its growing innovation in weight loss treatments and the temporary availability of reformulated prescription drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound, produced by competitors Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly during production shortages.
With the new administration perceived to be supportive of compounding practices, Hims & Hers Health is gaining momentum once again. A prominent Super Bowl ad targeting high drug prices added fuel to their growth streak, with analysts expecting a 90% surge in Q4 revenue.
