Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) emerged as the top stock purchase among retail traders in June 2025, according to the latest STAX report from Charles Schwab. Despite weak international sales, investor enthusiasm surged late in the month due to anticipation around Tesla’s robotaxi launch in Austin. “TSLA is viewed as highly tradable,” noted Schwab’s Joe Mazzola, adding that the recent 20% price dip attracted strong buying interest.
Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR), which led in May, dropped to second place. The data analytics firm saw heavy buying after a 10% decline and again when shares dipped from $145 to $130. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) secured third place for the third consecutive month, maintaining strong momentum since April, though gains slowed as it neared four-month highs in late June.
Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) ranked fourth. Although early-month activity was subdued, investor interest picked up once the stock turned negative for June. Newly listed Circle Internet Group also entered the top buys list after an explosive IPO rally, briefly gaining fivefold before a steep correction. Mazzola described it as “a stock that absolutely exploded.”
Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A, NYSE:BRK.B) and UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH) also recorded significant net buys.
On the sell side, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) led for the second month, as traders locked in profits following record highs. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) followed, with investors selling after a rapid climb from $400 to $500. Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) also saw heavy selling, potentially linked to shifting interest toward Circle. Other notable net sells included Meta (NASDAQ:META), Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), and Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS).
Retail investors appear to be rotating capital toward perceived growth opportunities, especially IPOs and tech innovation plays, while trimming positions in stocks that have hit fresh highs.
