10 most popular stocks in November 2025 on Robinhood UK
Space communications technology joins AI infrastructure and crypto among the most popular themes for buyers on Robinhood UK in December 2025.
If 2025 was the hyperscalers’ year, will 2026 be all about AI infrastructure?
It was a tough end to the year for MARA but it looks like investors are still keen on the Bitcoin-miner-to-AI-infrastructure narrative at play. A bearish trend for crypto tainted the stock in December but the lean into AI computing is keeping interest alive. It was a similar story for IREN, with investors likely weighing up the firm’s data centre business against its mining revenues.
NVIDIA stock blipped up into month end as expectations rose around the company’s plans to ship its H200 AI chips to China early in the new year. Beijing has yet to give NVIDIA the thumbs up though, and tariff to-ing and fro-ing has increased the country’s focus on using homegrown tech in the face of geopolitical uncertainty. Although the company’s Blackwell chip beats the H200 on performance, investors are clearly banking on enough appetite from Chinese firms to make a hopeful deal meaningful to revenues.

Oracle leapt into third place in December’s most popular stocks as investors bought into the stock’s recent dip. Despite reporting healthy revenue growth and a seemingly robust pipeline, huge spending and a $108bn debt pile showed how capital intensive this whole AI thing is. The fact that it’s taking a while to translate into clear profits added to market worries.
Tesla rose to fifth spot in December, even as the brand’s popularity in Europe continued to struggle. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, Tesla registrations were down by 34.2% in the EU compared to November last year. The drop means the company’s market share fell from 2.1% to 1.4%, as rival BYD seemingly goes from strength to strength. The Chinese firm shifted 21,133 units across the EU, EFTA and UK in November.
After peaking over the summer, Coinbase stock stepped down in the back half of the year, with December continuing the trend. Despite announcing plans to expand its product set, the company couldn’t shake contagion from volatility in the wider crypto market.

Nebius was still one of the most popular buys on Robinhood UK but slipped from third place to eighth as the AI cloud infrastructure firm’s stock had a V-shaped month. Behind investor appetite might be raised guidance and news the firm sold all its available computing capacity over Q3.
Amazon stock ended the month pretty much where it started, with a dip attracting investors who are likely eyeing the growth of the firm’s cloud business. Amazon Web Services (AWS) continues to rake in a huge share of global cloud spending and new tools to help companies build AI agents, announced in December, signal product innovation isn’t done yet.
And AST SpaceMobile hopped onto the list after a big month for the satellite communications company. ASTS designs satellites which act like phone towers in space and the successful launch of its Bluebird 6 model in December might have been the catalyst for a rising stock price over the month.
