Special Report Small-Cap Standouts: These 3 Stocks Rose Over 300% in 2025By Leo Miller. Article Posted: 1/3/2026. 
At a Glance - 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 trailed large caps. The Russell 2000 Index, which tracks 2,000 U.S. small-cap stocks, returned roughly 13% for the year, well below the S&P 500 Index's approximate 18% total return, which measures U.S. large-cap performance. Despite the broader underperformance, three small-cap names delivered exceptional gains in 2025. Below, we detail three stocks that rose 300% or more. Each began 2025 in small-cap territory but, because of their gains, has since moved into mid-cap range. GRAL Catapults on Early Cancer Detection Enthusiasm After picking Nvidia in 2016, before it jumped 27,000%...
Jeff Brown is back with what he believes will be the biggest paradigm shift ever.
Yes, even bigger than AI. And he found one Seattle company that's at the center of this new $100 trillion revolution.
Click here to get the name of this company, completely free of charge... Click here for the details. Healthcare stock GRAIL (NASDAQ: GRAL) climbed approximately 380% in 2025. The company's 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 significantly improves cancer survival rates, which has driven strong interest in Galleri. Only about five cancer types currently have standardized screening methods, yet roughly 70% of cancer deaths result from types outside those five. Galleri is 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 sevenfold. Today, most Galleri sales come from out-of-pocket payments. GRAIL expects to apply for Premarket Approval (PMA) from 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, which could open a substantial new sales channel and is a key reason for investor enthusiasm. The MarketBeat consensus price target of $97.50 reflects analyst optimism and implies roughly 14% upside from current levels. PL Blasts Off, Combining AI with Geospatial Imagery Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL) enjoyed a banner 2025, with shares rising just under 390%. Planet operates hundreds of satellites that collect medium- to high-resolution Earth imagery and combines that data with artificial intelligence to help customers make decisions. The company earns revenue mainly through subscriptions to its cloud-based platform and satellite services. Demand has been particularly strong among governments. Its Dec. 10 earnings report sent shares up 35% in one day, driven by defense and intelligence revenue growth of over 70%. Planet reported a backlog of about $735 million—roughly 2.6 times its trailing 12‑month revenue of $282 million—suggesting substantial growth potential. 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 current levels. However, the average of analyst targets updated after the company's latest earnings report is $18.19, which implies only roughly 7.7% downside. Planet Labs is worth watching; a meaningful pullback could present a buying opportunity. Updated Targets Eye Strong Upside in VSAT After Huge 2025 Run Last up is Viasat (NASDAQ: VSAT), which gained about 305% in 2025 and now carries a market cap near $4.7 billion. Viasat is another satellite company, focused on internet and data connectivity for aviation, maritime and government customers—somewhat different from consumer-focused satellite efforts like AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS). The company provides in-flight connectivity to thousands of commercial and business aircraft. The U.S. government was Viasat's largest customer in fiscal 2025, accounting for 18% of revenue. Note that Viasat is currently in fiscal 2026. Revenue grew only 2% in the most recent 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. However, analyst targets updated after the company's Nov. 7 earnings report average $49, suggesting roughly 37% upside potential. GRAL, PL, VSAT: Deep Research Is Paramount GRAL, PL and VSAT delivered extraordinary returns in 2025. That opportunity comes with heightened risk: smaller-cap stocks that appreciate rapidly can be highly volatile. Investors should have conviction in a company's long-term prospects and conduct thorough due diligence before adding these names to a portfolio.
