Graphene, known for its remarkable strength, conductivity and other useful properties, has attracted growing research and investment across industries like solar panels, batteries and electronics.(1)
As demand for this material grows, so do the opportunities — and risks — for investors.
We present six top publicly traded graphene stocks you should consider if you want to invest in this emerging technology.
We rounded up a selection of US-listed and US-accessible stocks of companies involved in the graphene industry directly and indirectly — whether that’s graphene manufacturing, graphene manufacturing equipment makers or companies investing in graphene research and technology.

"Investing in emerging industries requires understanding that both outsized gains and losses are possible. Hype can cause stock prices to soar, while losses can mount if you buy in at peak excitement and the industry soon falls out of favor. Before investing, do your research and consider the legitimate potential of the new industry, taking a long-term view as you do. Consider exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to mitigate risk through diversification and gain exposure to all key players in the space."
