Investors are constantly on the hunt for undervalued, under-followed and emerging stocks. With countless methods available to retail traders, the challenge often lies in sifting through the abundance of information to uncover new opportunities and understand why certain stocks should be of interest.

The company reported second-quarter financial results with earnings per share missing analyst estimates and revenue beating estimates.

ThredUp Inc (NASDAQ:TDUP): The online resale apparel company continues to see shares soar in 2025, hitting the highest levels since 2022.

Xometry raised its full year outlook and sees margins expanding going forward. Analysts raised their price targets on the stock after quarterly results.
Cardlytics Inc (NASDAQ:CDLX): The advertising platforms company is one of the smaller names to appear on the Stock Whisper Index and comes with the warning of higher volatility as a penny stock and low market capitalization name.

The company's third quarter revenue guidance is below analyst estimates. Despite the mixed results and weak guidance, shares held up fairly strong during the week down around 1% and the stock is seeing increased interest signaling a potential stock to watch.
Forward Industries (NASDAQ:FORD): The protective solutions company reported third quarter financial results that showed declining revenue and earnings per share. The company's revenue was down 3.9% year-over-year and missed estimates. Adjusted EBITDA improved in the quarter despite the declining revenue. Company executives highlighted improved pricing and cost controls that could boost margins going forward. While shares were down 5% during the week, the stock remains up over 170% year-to-date and could be a stock to watch going forward.
