25 Most Profitable NASDAQ Stocks Today

In this article, we will look at the 25 most profitable NASDAQ stocks today. If you want to explore similar stocks, you can also take a look at 10 Most Profitable NASDAQ Stocks Today.

2022 was one of the worst years for the NASDAQ, primarily because it is dominated by tech, and tech stocks crashed as interest rates climbed. The NASDAQ lost roughly more than one-third of its value in 2022. However, in 2023 things seem to have taken an interesting turn. The NASDAQ has been rising and, as of February 17, the tech-heavy index has gained 13.48% year to date.

"I Think Growth Comes Back and Tech Outperforms"

Is the tech sector making a comeback in 2023? Fundstrat's head of technical strategy, Mark Newton, thinks so. On February 7, Mark Newton appeared in an interview on CNBC where he discussed why he thinks growth and technology are making a comeback in 2023. Here are some comments from Mark Newton:

"There's 3 main things for investors to look at. One is that momentum and breadth have improved substantially in the last couple of months. The second is that, we are in seasonally a very bullish period. Pre-election year seasonality for the first quarter is better than any other of the 16 quarters that make up the presidential cycle. The third is that we continue to see pretty excessive bearish sentiment across the board... The near term sentiment has gotten a little more optimistic. However, if we saw anything from recent reports of investor risk, people are very much on the sidelines and we're seeing very high levels of investor cash. That makes me think that we are in very much a bull market that can continue."

Mark Newton's views are remarkably similar to those of billionaire investor Ken Fisher. Newton thinks that the market bottomed somewhere in October 2022 and now we are in a bull market. Newton thinks that technology, which was one of the worst-performing sectors in 2022, is now making a comeback. Newton supported his thesis by elaborating on how the market has "gone from extreme pessimism to now skepticism". While "we haven't reached bullishness yet", according to Mark Newton, "the market's respecting inflation selling off sharply as well as a pivot potentially with the Fed".

Mark Newton thinks "both energy and healthcare have a chance of snapping back". However, he sees tech "being a phenomenally good sector to position in for 2023". According to Mark Newton, interest rates will "continue to come down over the course of the year" and "that should fuel growth". Newton thinks "growth comes back and tech outperforms" in 2023, and he also revealed that his year-end target for the S&P 500 is 4,500.

Some of the most profitable NASDAQ stocks today are Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:FB), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). Let's now discuss these stocks, among others, in detail.

Our Methodology

We screened for companies trading on the NASDAQ. We considered the annual net income as a measure of a company's profitability. We narrowed down our screen and looked for companies that had a trailing twelve-month net income of greater than $4 billion. We used data from Yahoo Finance to verify each company’s net income and finally picked the 25 companies that had reported the highest annual net income for fiscal 2022. We have ranked these stocks in ascending order of their TTM net income, as of fiscal 2022. Since companies use different fiscal years, we have mentioned the end-date of each company’s fiscal year along with its net income.

Here is what Bronte Capital had to say about Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:REGN) in its third-quarter 2022 investor letter:

“There have been some bright spots in our long book. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.(NASDAQ:REGN), a major position and a stock we wrote up in our June 2021 letter, has been one of the best performing stocks in the S&P 500 this year. Alas it has not been enough to offset some of our weaker stocks, let alone our overweight exposure to the UK (and Europe) which have suffered from both stock and currency weakness. We do not think we are bad at picking stocks on the long side and hope – reasonably we think – for better relative results in the future. Prior to COVID, our longs were markedly better than the index. Unfortunately, if you look at our long book this quarter and since the onset of the COVID pandemic, there is scant evidence that we have added any value by picking stocks to go long.”

23. Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 115

Net Income (TTM) as of December 31, 2022: $4.49 billion

Here is what RiverPark Advisors had to say about Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) in its fourth-quarter 2022 investor letter:

Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX): NFLX was also a top contributor for 4Q. The company reported better-than-expected subscriber additions for 3Q and provided strong 4Q guidance. Netflix added 2.4 million subscribers in the quarter, beating the Street’s expectation of 1.1 million added subscribers, and management guided to 4.5 million subscriber additions for 4Q, above expectations for 4.1 million.

We believe that 2022 was an inflection year for Netflix as the company became free cash flow (“FCF”) positive during 1Q22 and FCF should scale from here (management guided to $1 billion FCF for 2022). A combination of strategic initiatives, price increases and a stabilization of content investment should position the company for high-single digit annual revenue growth, while driving improved operating margin to more than 25% over the next few years. Revenue grew 6% for 3Q22 and operating margin was 19%, up from 10% in 2018. In addition to its opportunities in TV and movie streaming, the company recently launched a mobile gaming service that opens an additional $100 billion-plus market for future growth.”

In addition to tech giants Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:FB), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) is also one of the most profitable NASDAQ stocks today.

“At the stock level, biopharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) was the top contributor in the quarter based on positive data released in a study evaluating Trodelvy versus comparative chemotherapy in patients with metastatic breast cancer. The detailed findings increased investor confidence the drug would receive incremental approvals for a broader range of breast cancer treatments. Shares also received a boost on news the TAF patent portfolio for HIV drugs will be extended from the middle of this decade through the early 2030s, thereby lengthening the company’s long-term opportunity in the virology market.”

“Conversely, we sold our positions in Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:LRCX) and Zoetis (ZTS) following a sustained deterioration in fundamental factors. After a qualitative review of Lam Research, we believe the company will face a number of headwinds that could make for an unfavorable risk-reward position, given the highly cyclical nature of its business in a slowing global economy. We are also expecting fundamentals to turn negative as sales and operating profits are poised to decelerate, resulting in negative earnings revisions. While the stock trades at an attractive valuation multiple, we believe that this is more a sign that earnings will decline meaningfully.”

20. Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 93

Net Income (TTM) as of November 30, 2022: $4.75 billion

Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) is one of several software companies we own. Its suite of creative products (Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, Lightroom, etc.) are the industry standard for creative professionals. Adobe also has a suite of customer experience products that help other businesses sell more easily to consumers. All of Adobe’s products have high switching costs and sold on a subscription basis.

Adobe’s business qualities enable extremely high margins and predictable, recurring revenues. The company had revenues of $17.6 billion in its last fiscal year with operating margins in the mid-30s. The company has also grown revenues at double-digit rates every year since 2015. Despite a good record of investing in its businesses, it still has an excess of cash on its balance sheet. As such, Adobe has returned cash to shareholders in the form of share buybacks. Since 2015 the company has returned a total of $24.5 billion.”

Here is what Weitz Investment Management had to say about Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) in its third-quarter 2022 investor letter:

“Liberty Broadband’s primary asset is a 26% stake in Charter Communications (NASDAQ:CHTR). Charter is not sitting still; the company is adapting via footprint expansion into underserved areas, price-advantaged mobile line growth, and so on. Charter’s hefty free cash flows are valuable in the hands of proven, astute capital allocators. Time will tell, but to paraphrase country music artist Merle Haggard, we do not yet think cable’s good times are really over for good.”

Here is what Diamond Hill Capital had to say about Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) in its fourth-quarter 2022 investor letter:

“We eliminated our positions in financial services technology company Fidelity National Information Services and media and technology company Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA). With Comcast, uncertainty surrounding broadband growth due to rising competition and lower market activity, as well as the continued deterioration of the traditional media business, led to a less attractive risk/ reward tradeoff and we chose to reallocate that capital to more attractive ideas.”

Here is what Madison Funds had to say about Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) in its fourth-quarter 2022 investor letter:

Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) stock fell after November sales results showed a slowing consumer. The slower November sales were followed by a slight first quarter miss with lower-than-expected margins. Costco commented that they are not seeing trade-down but private label penetration has increased modestly. Traffic continues to be positive, and Costco remains well-positioned in a more challenging macro environment due to its strong value proposition.”

15. Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMAT)

Here is what Vulcan Value Partners had to say about Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMAT) in its fourth-quarter 2022 investor letter:

Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMAT) is the world’s largest producer of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Throughout 2022, investors became increasingly concerned about a cyclical downturn in semiconductors and pending trade regulations that would restrict the sale of advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment to Chinese customers. This uncertainty caused the stock to become oversold, in our opinion. The stock price recovered in the fourth quarter as investors were able to size the impact of export controls and, we believe, as investors increasingly understood the long-term, structural demand for semiconductors and the equipment that produces them.”

14. Amgen, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMGN)

Here is what Smead Capital Management had to say about Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ:AMGN) in its third-quarter 2022 investor letter:

“Two things are very noticeable right off the top. First, sometimes you have to be happy losing less in a bear market environment so that you have more of your capital to grow in the next bull market. We are never really happy losing money. Second, 2022 is likely to be our third year of existence as a fund to lose money for the year. This year would join 2008 and 2018 in this undistinguished category. Our biggest detractors was dominated by  Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN). Consumer/investor fears about media and e-commerce hit WBD and EBAY and profit taking in Amgen came from early 2022 strength.”

“Health care proved to be the most challenging sector to navigate during the quarter, as several companies were subjected to elevated risk aversion due to possible litigation implications. Two of our top five largest individual detractors for the period were in the health care sector: Sanofi(NASDAQ:SNY) and Bayer (OTCPK:BAYZF). Sanofi, a French pharmaceutical and health care company, saw its share price fall after it was named as a co-defendant in a class action lawsuit alleging that Sanofi and other sellers of the heartburn medication Zantac failed to warn of the drug’s risk of containing a possible carcinogen.”

Here is what ClearBridge Investments had to say about Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) in its third-quarter 2022 investor letter:

“Also on the detractor side, Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) delivered a disappointing revenue miss and lowered full-year revenue and earnings guidance as COVID-19-driven demand for PCs abated (where Intel enjoys half its sales) and a delay in its flagship Sapphire Rapids CPU hurt its data center business. Despite these issues, we still believe Intel is an economically sensitive turnaround story with substantial upside.”

11. Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU)

“Inflation is still higher than interest rates… not an incentive to save for most people. Either inflation must come down or interest rates have to go up further. Or both. And probably both. Now that they are taking the punch bowl away and the party is over, what happens next?
