Featured News from MarketBeat Small-Cap Standouts: These 3 Stocks Rose Over 300% in 2025Reported by Leo Miller. Originally Published: 1/3/2026. 
Key Points - While small caps as a whole generated lower returns than large caps in 2025, three interesting names bucked this narrative.
- A cancer screening company and two satellite operators saw their shares rise 300% or more.
- See where analysts are forecasting upside and understand vital considerations pertaining to smaller stocks.
In 2025, small-cap stocks underperformed: the Russell 2000, which tracks 2,000 U.S. small-cap companies, returned about 13%, well below the S&P 500's roughly 18% total return. Despite the sector's overall lag, three small-cap names delivered gains of 300% or more. Each began 2025 in small-cap territory but, after their rallies, have moved into mid-cap range. Below we highlight those stocks and what drove their runs. GRAL Catapults on Early Cancer Detection Enthusiasm While President Trump's official salary is $400,000 per year... his tax returns reveal he's been collecting up to $250,000 PER MONTH from one hidden source. Until recently, most Americans couldn't touch the type of investment that makes up this investment. But thanks to Executive Order 14330, that just changed. If you love investing in disruptive new companies... Discover how to invest in the fund Trump uses to collect this income >> Healthcare stock GRAIL (NASDAQ: GRAL) rose roughly 380% in 2025, pushing its market capitalization from well under $1 billion to about $3.3 billion. The company's flagship product is the Galleri multi-cancer early-detection test. Early detection substantially improves cancer survival rates, which has driven interest in Galleri. Only about five cancers have standardized screening methods, yet roughly 70% of cancer deaths come from cancers outside that group. Galleri was designed to detect more than 50 cancer types. In a recent study, GRAIL reported that adding Galleri to traditional screening increased early cancer detection by more than seven times. Most Galleri revenue today comes from out-of-pocket payments. GRAIL plans to submit a premarket approval (PMA) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the first quarter of 2026. If approved, commercial insurers would be far more likely to cover the test, potentially unlocking a much larger sales channel and explaining much of the investor enthusiasm. The MarketBeat consensus price target of $97.50 reflects analyst optimism and implies roughly 14% upside. PL Blasts Off, Combining AI with Geospatial Imagery Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL) enjoyed a blockbuster 2025, with shares climbing just under 390%. Planet operates hundreds of satellites that capture medium- to high-resolution Earth imagery, and it combines that data with artificial intelligence to help customers make decisions. Revenue comes mainly from subscriptions to its cloud-based platform and satellite services. Commercial and government demand is materializing. Its Dec. 10 earnings report sent shares up 35% in one day after defense and intelligence revenue jumped more than 70%. The company reported a backlog of about $735 million, roughly 2.6 times its last 12 months' revenue of $282 million, indicating potential for significant growth. Planet Labs also produced positive free cash flow for the second consecutive quarter. The MarketBeat consensus price target of $14.74 implies about 25% downside from the then-current price, but analyst targets updated after the latest earnings report average $18.19, which implies roughly 7.7% downside. Planet Labs is worth watching; a significant pullback could create a more attractive entry point. Updated Targets Eye Strong Upside in VSAT After Huge 2025 Run Finally, Viasat (NASDAQ: VSAT) climbed about 305% in 2025, giving it a market cap near $4.7 billion. Viasat is a satellite communications company focused on internet and data connectivity for aviation, maritime, and government customers, rather than primarily targeting consumer telecom operators like some peers such as AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS). Viasat provides in-flight connectivity to thousands of commercial and business aircraft. The U.S. government was its largest customer in fiscal 2025, accounting for 18% of revenue (Viasat is currently in fiscal 2026). Revenues grew only 2% last quarter, but awards rose 17% to nearly $1.5 billion and backlog increased to almost $3.9 billion. The MarketBeat consensus price target of $32.75 implies about 5% downside, but analyst targets updated after the Nov. 7 earnings report average $49, suggesting roughly 37% upside potential. GRAL, PL, VSAT: Deep Research Is Paramount GRAL, PL and VSAT delivered remarkable returns in 2025, but investors should remember these companies can be volatile. Smaller stocks that have surged tend to see wide price swings, so confidence in the long-term thesis is essential. Perform thorough due diligence before making investment decisions in high-flying names like these.
