An in-depth market research study has shed light on the most highly sought-after investment opportunities among European countries. The study analyzed Google Trends data for each European country to determine the most frequently searched stocks, providing valuable insights into the investment preferences of different nations.

Only in that one nation were stocks of Virgin Galactic, EPAM Systems, Icelandair, and GameStop among the most sought-after.
GameStop still popular among retailers
In Austria, the most sought-after stock was GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME). In January 2021, a Reddit page named “wallstreetbets” gained popularity and promoted social investment in GameStop’s share price, elevating GameStop’s stock to “meme-stock” status.
Icelandair Group hf is the most popular stock in Iceland (ICE: ICEAIR). Iceland’s primary airline is called Icelandair. In the third quarter of 2022, the airline had record-breaking passenger revenues of almost $487 million. Investors in Belarus are particularly interested in EPAM Systems Inc (NYSE: EPAM).

Tesla dominance
Tesla’s dominance in the European market reflects the company’s broader global appeal, which has been driven by its commitment to sustainable energy solutions and its innovative approach to the automotive industry.
A spokesperson from Bonusetu.com said:
“It’s interesting to see how even though the share price of Tesla has dropped considerably, it can still dominate the search results of 28 European countries and maintain the interest in so many countries.”
However, since the start of 2023, Tesla’s stock has notably been on a consistent upward trend, attracting the attention of investors around the world.
