The best graphene stocks depend on your portfolio and investment goals — while volatility can be ideal for day traders, long-term investors will want to look to stocks with steadier gains over time.
You'll also want to consider which stocks are easy to buy. Many graphene stocks are located on non-US exchanges, which means you'll need a brokerage account that offers access to international stocks. Different brokerages offer access to different exchanges, so if you're interested in a specific non-US stock, you'll want to check if it's available through your brokerage account.
5 graphene stocks to watch
We round up a selection of stocks in or related to the graphene industry, weighting the list more heavily towards popular mid- and large-cap US stocks.
- Applied Graphene Materials (AGM)
- Cabot Corporation (CBT)
- Haydale Graphene Industries (HAYD)
- AIXTRON (AIXA)
- ZEN Graphene Solutions (ZEN)
3 tools to help identify new investments
We've compiled a list of graphene stocks to keep an eye on, but the stock market is volatile, and trends can change daily.
If you're actively trading stocks, staying on top of new industry trends and rising stocks can take a lot of time. Here are some of my favorite tools to keep up with trends and get new trading ideas.
- Stock screeners. You can use an online stock screener like Finviz or TradingView to see what stocks are making the biggest moves today and narrow your search by industry and market cap. Screeners are most beneficial for technical traders who have set criteria in mind for their trades. For example, if you're looking for stocks trending today in the graphene industry, you can pull a list of all mid-cap and large-cap stocks for that industry and sort by percent change since opening.
- Newsletters. Some of my favourites include the Motley Fool Stock Advisor and the Alpha Boost and Cherry Picks newsletters published by Tastyworks. Newsletters can be a great way to find companies that may be worth investing in for the long haul.
- Social media. While I'd never make a trade based on a Reddit thread alone, social platforms like Reddit, Twitter and Tiktok can be useful tools for staying on top of what companies people are talking about. The trendiness of a stock can directly influence its price — but those trends can also be volatile. While social media can occasionally help buy-and-hold investors, it tends to be a more practical tool for active traders.

Important: The standard brokerage fee displayed is the trade cost for new customers to purchase $1,000 of either Australian or US shares. Where a platform charges different fees for both US and Australian shares we show the lower of the two. Where both CHESS sponsored and custodian shares are offered, we display the cheapest option.
Bottom line
While it's possible to turn a profit investing in graphene stocks, keep in mind that — like any investment — graphene stocks are not immune to risk. These stocks are subject to fluctuating conditions — both in the market and in the graphene industry, so carefully vet your picks before you invest.
