Today's Bonus Content 2025's Most Upgraded Stocks—And What 2026 Might Hold Author: Leo Miller. Posted: 1/5/2026. 
Article Highlights - Snowflake and CrowdStrike rode 2025’s AI-driven software demand wave, but 2026 upside depends on margins and recurring-revenue durability.
- Alphabet drew the most upgrades as investors rewarded AI improvements in Search, YouTube, and Cloud, even as near-term upside looked tighter.
- Tech and Communication Services led 2025 sector performance, helping concentrate upgrades in a handful of mega-cap and high-growth names.
In 2025, Wall Street analysts favored many stocks in the technology and communication sectors—the two best-performing sectors of the year. Tech led the way: the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA: XLK) returned 24.6%, while the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA: XLC) returned 23.1%. Within those sectors, three names drew the most analyst attention. Below, we detail MarketBeat's three most upgraded stocks of 2025 and summarize consensus targets heading into 2026. After 100+ Upgrades, Analysts Still See Strong Upside in SNOW Gold Headed Above $5,000 per Ounce in 2026? Here's How to Play It...
With so many strange events happening across the economy (consumer confidence plummeting, credit-card delinquencies soaring, and more), it's no wonder the richest investors are loading up on gold. But what you might not realize is that there's a much better way to profit from rising gold prices - WITHOUT ever touching an ETF, mining stock, or even bullion. Get the full details here. MarketBeat's third most upgraded stock of 2025 was Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW), the cloud data and analytics company. Snowflake received 110 analyst upgrades and gained roughly 42% on the year. Snowflake consistently beat estimates on sales and adjusted earnings per share. Its Aug. 27 report was particularly strong: the company posted solid beats and raised full-year revenue growth guidance from 25% to 27%, sending shares up more than 20% the following day. The company's AI offerings are resonating with customers, accounting for about half of bookings in its Dec. 3 report. Snowflake reached a $100 million annualized revenue run rate for those AI products one quarter ahead of expectations. Despite that progress, shares fell about 11% after the report when margin guidance disappointed. Still, more than a dozen analysts raised their price targets after the announcement. The consensus price target for SNOW sits near $275, implying roughly 25% upside. Targets updated after the Dec. 3 report are slightly more bullish, averaging around $278, or about 28% upside. CRWD's Guidance Boost Sends Shares Soaring Cybersecurity leader CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) ranked second, receiving 114 analyst upgrades and rising 37% in 2025. Unlike Snowflake, CrowdStrike's earnings releases were not the primary catalysts; the stock actually fell an average of 1.5% the day after its four earnings reports. The key event was the company's Sept. 18 investor day, when management issued aggressive long-term guidance and shares jumped nearly 13%. CrowdStrike expects annual recurring revenue (ARR) to grow at least 20% by 2027 and to double to $10 billion by 2031. Its trailing 12-month ARR was just over $4.9 billion. The consensus price target is just above $555, implying about 22% upside. Targets updated after the company's Dec. 2 earnings report are slightly less bullish, averaging about $543, which still implies roughly 20% upside. GOOGL Tops 2025 Upgrade Rankings, Posting AI Wins Across the Board Alphabet, Google's parent company, received the most analyst upgrades in 2025. The stock returned 66% and picked up 120 upgrades from Wall Street analysts. Although often thought of as a tech company, Alphabet is classified in the communications sector since most of its revenue comes from delivering information and content via Google Search and YouTube. The 2025 enthusiasm, however, was driven by its technical leadership. AI improvements fueled strong growth in Search and YouTube, while external demand for AI infrastructure helped Google Cloud soar. Alphabet's Gemini 3 ranks among the best general-purpose AI models, and the company has been expanding into semiconductors. Its tensor processing units (TPUs) could attract meaningful external demand in 2026, potentially offering an alternative to NVIDIA's (NASDAQ: NVDA) chips for certain workloads. The consensus price target sits just under $318, implying less than 1% upside. However, 10 analysts raised their targets in December; the average among those updates is about $362, which would imply roughly 15% upside. Google's Long-Term Prospects Are Difficult to Ignore Even with the lowest implied near-term upside among these names, Alphabet remains hard to bet against. Beyond AI—where significant runway still exists—Google leads in quantum computing research and autonomous vehicle development. Those initiatives provide two additional long-term growth levers in nascent technologies that could materially contribute to the company's future growth.
