Exclusive Article Small-Cap Standouts: These 3 Stocks Rose Over 300% in 2025Submitted by Leo Miller. Published: 1/3/2026. 
Key Takeaways - 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 broadly underperformed. The Russell 2000 Index, which tracks 2,000 U.S. small-cap companies, delivered a total return of roughly 13% for the year — well below the S&P 500 Index's total return of about 18%, which reflects large-cap performance. Even so, a few small-cap names produced extraordinary gains. Below are three stocks that rose 300% or more in 2025. Each began the year in small-cap territory but, after their rallies, has moved into mid-cap territory. GRAL Catapults on Early Cancer Detection Enthusiasm Less than 0.2% of investors know this market exists...
There's a hidden market where crypto trades at 80-95%cheaper than mainstream exchanges. It's called the "Native" Markets, and it's how every crypto millionaire has made their fortune. Don't buy at the top - get in before retail even knows: Click here for the FREE guide on how it's done. Healthcare stock GRAIL (NASDAQ: GRAL) climbed roughly 380% in 2025. Its market capitalization rose from well under $1 billion to about $3.3 billion. GRAIL's primary product is the Galleri multi-cancer early detection test. Early detection greatly improves cancer survival rates, which has driven strong interest in Galleri. Only about five cancers have standardized screening programs, yet roughly 70% of cancer deaths stem from other tumor types. Galleri was developed to detect more than 50 different cancers. In a recent study, GRAIL reported that adding Galleri to traditional screening increased early detection more than sevenfold. Today, most Galleri revenue comes from out-of-pocket payments, but GRAIL plans to submit a Premarket Approval (PMA) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the first quarter of 2026. FDA approval would materially increase the likelihood of commercial-insurer coverage, opening a much larger sales channel — a key reason investor enthusiasm has surged. The MarketBeat consensus price target of $97.50 reflects analyst optimism and implies roughly 14% upside from the stock's current level. PL Blasts Off, Combining AI with Geospatial Imagery Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL) had a banner 2025, with shares rising nearly 390%. Planet operates a large fleet of satellites that capture medium- to high-resolution Earth imagery and combines that data with artificial intelligence to help customers make better decisions. The company sells subscriptions to its cloud-based platform and satellite services. Demand has been particularly strong among government customers. Its Dec. 10 earnings report sent the stock up about 35% in one day, reporting defense and intelligence revenue growth of more than 70%. Planet reported a backlog near $735 million — roughly 2.6 times its trailing-12-month revenue of $282 million — providing meaningful revenue visibility. The company also posted positive free cash flow for the second consecutive quarter. The MarketBeat consensus price target of $14.74 implies about 25% downside from the current price, though the average of analyst targets updated after the latest earnings report is $18.19, which implies roughly 7.7% downside. Planet remains worth watching; any significant pullback could present an attractive entry point. Updated Targets Eye Strong Upside in VSAT After Huge 2025 Run Viasat (NASDAQ: VSAT) gained roughly 305% in 2025, pushing its market cap to about $4.7 billion. Viasat is another satellite-focused company, but it concentrates on internet and data connectivity rather than consumer-focused telecom. Its primary markets include aviation, maritime and government customers. For example, Viasat provides in-flight wireless connectivity to thousands of commercial and business aircraft. The U.S. government was its largest customer in fiscal 2025, accounting for 18% of revenue; the company is currently in fiscal 2026. Revenues grew by about 2% in the most recent quarter, but awards rose 17% to nearly $1.5 billion and backlog climbed to nearly $3.9 billion. The MarketBeat consensus price target of $32.75 suggests about 5% downside. However, analyst targets updated after the Nov. 7 earnings report average $49, implying roughly 37% upside — a notable shift in sentiment. GRAL, PL, VSAT: Deep Research Is Paramount GRAL, PL and VSAT delivered spectacular returns in 2025, but investors should remember that smaller and recently high-flying stocks can be highly volatile and risky. Before making investment decisions, investors should confirm they are comfortable with the companies' long-term prospects and perform thorough due diligence, including reviewing fundamentals, competitive positioning and the potential for sustained revenue growth.
