Younger Generations Cling to Popular Meme Stocks, Gain Interest in the Cannabis Sector, and Continue To Hold Mega-Cap Stocks in the Q2 Apex Next Investor Outlook
DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Apex Clearing Corporation (“Apex” or the “Company”), the business-to-business custody and clearing platform powering innovation in fintech, investing, and wealth management, today released its Q2 2021 Apex Next Investor Outlook, which highlights the top stocks held by the rising class of Gen Z investors. The report also captures which stocks fell in the rankings and reveals behavior parallels and comparisons to the older generations.
Amid recent price cuts in popular meme stocks and associated skepticism, retail investors across all generations showed unanimous conviction in these names coming out of the second quarter. The data indicates younger crowds saw the most potential in companies that have been popular on social media and in online forums with AMC displacing TSLA as the top stock for Gen Z and Millennials, as of June 30, 2021. Cannabis companies and mega-cap stocks also became of interest to Gen Z investors, while cryptocurrency-related stocks faded in the rankings.
“As Gen Z investors become a more influential force, fintech companies and advisory firms who understand them and embrace the accompanying changes will be better positioned to come out ahead,” said Bill Capuzzi, Chief Executive Officer of Apex. “It’s fascinating that AMC made up nearly 25% of the holdings within Gen Z’s list of the top 100 stocks, compared to a mere 3.6% of holdings in the first quarter of 2021. Their evolving interests and participation in the markets will reshape a new wealth management industry – one that looks quite different from the traditional model.”
The Apex Next Investor Outlook includes an analysis of the top 100 stocks owned by millions of investors on the Apex platform, with a special focus on the Gen Z digital investor sentiment. The Q2 2021 report analyzed more than 1 million Gen Z accounts, in addition to over 5 million accounts held by Millennials, Gen X, and Baby Boomers.
Themes in the Q2 Apex Next Investor Outlook include:
