To find out which stocks are most popular on Google in 2026, we analysed SEMrush search data to see which companies investors are most curious about.
The results show that Lloyds remains the most searched share price in the UK, with an astonishing one million monthly searches.
This reflects the continued popularity of UK banking stocks among retail investors, particularly those looking for income and recovery potential in the domestic market.
But the rest of the rankings show something interesting: investors are increasingly searching for a mix of UK dividend stocks and global growth companies.
Most searched share prices in the UK
| Share Price | Monthly Searches |
|---|---|
| Lloyds share price | 1,000,000 |
| Rolls-Royce share price | 823,000 |
| Tesla share price | 673,000 |
| BP share price | 550,000 |
| BT share price | 550,000 |
Rolls-Royce continues to attract huge interest following its dramatic turnaround and strong share price performance over the past few years.
Tesla remains the most searched US stock in the UK, reflecting its status as a proxy for both the electric vehicle industry and the broader tech sector.
Meanwhile, BP and BT show that traditional FTSE stocks remain firmly on UK investors’ radar, particularly among those seeking dividend income.
What questions do people most ask Google about share prices?
The questions people search for reveal even more about investor sentiment.
Interestingly, the most popular question is optimistic, while the rest tend to focus on falling share prices.
Top share price questions on Google
| Share Price Query | Monthly Searches | Sentiment |
|---|---|---|
| What will Lloyds share price be in 5 years? | 1,300 | Bullish |
| Why has BP share price dropped today? | 1,000 | Bearish |
| Why is abrdn share price falling? | 880 | Bearish |
| Why is Barclays share price falling today? | 880 | Bearish |
| Why has Rolls-Royce share price dropped today? | 720 | Bearish |
The most searched question – “What will Lloyds share price be in five years?” – suggests many investors see long-term upside in UK banking stocks.
However, most of the other questions focus on why share prices are falling, highlighting a tendency for investors to search for explanations when markets are volatile.
This is typical behaviour. Investors often search for information after a stock has fallen, rather than when it is rising.
UK stocks are back in focus
We conducted similar research several years ago and at the time the most searched stocks in the UK were overwhelmingly American.
Most searched stocks in 2021:
- Tesla
- Apple
- Amazon
- Pfizer
- Moderna
- Microsoft
- AstraZeneca
- Rolls-Royce
- Netflix
Back then, interest was dominated by the US tech boom and pandemic-era winners.
But the latest search data suggests that investor attention has shifted back towards UK companies, particularly banks, energy firms and large FTSE dividend stocks.
That doesn’t necessarily mean investors are bullish on the UK market. In fact, many of the questions suggest concern about falling prices.
However, increased search interest could also indicate something else: investors are starting to look for opportunities in a market that has lagged global peers for years.
If that trend continues, UK shares may yet stage a broader comeback.
