TikTok has become a social media platform where young people talk about culture, entertainment, life advice and ... business tips.

Research by money.co.uk identified which companies are popular among “Stockfluencers” — TikTok users who share investment advice on financial planning and the stock market.

The research examined popular brands on the social media app. The information “reveals which companies are gaining the most views, and features such giants as Tesla, Apple and Amazon,” according to money.co.uk.

Here are the top 15 companies listed:

  1. Tesla
  2. AMC
  3. Gamestop
  4. Nio
  5. Disney
  6. Amazon
  7. Palantir Technologies
  8. Twitter
  9. AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc
  10. Snapchat
  11. Sundial Growers
  12. Nikola Corporation
  13. Zoom
  14. Apple
  15. Facebook

Indeed, TikTok has been a home for financial advice. In July 2020, TikTok users encouraged people to buy parts of the meme-based cryptocurrency, Dogecoin.

TikTok user James Galante made a TikTok video where he encouraged people to spend $25 on Dogecoin — which was worth  $0.0023 at the time — to make some money. That video alone spawned 1 million views and led to even more videos on the subject, as the Deseret News reported.
