Markets have a habit of creating sharp contrasts, and 2025 delivered one of the clearest in years. The Trade Desk NASDAQ: TTD finished the year as one of the worst-performing large-cap stocks, while SanDisk Corp NASDAQ: SNDK emerged as one of the standout winners following its spinoff from Western Digital Corp NASDAQ: WDC.
Despite an April hiccup, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite all rallied to several record-closing highs in 2025. Standout stocks can still be found, regardless of which direction the market heads in the new year.
