UGRO, TURB, ANNA, EEIQ, BIAF: These Five Stocks Outpaced Big Tech With Massive March Returns

• Urban-Gro’s merger with Flash Sports and Media marked a notable transition beyond indoor agriculture into sports-focused media.
• Turbo Energy benefited from escalating tensions in the Middle East that sent energy prices higher.
• bioAffinity reported strong sales growth for its lung diagnostic product, CyPath, and ambitious 100% growth guidance in 2026.

A handful of lesser-known companies stole the spotlight in March, surging ahead of the broader market amid decisive operational shifts and real-world execution.

Urban-gro, Inc. (UGRO), Turbo Energy S.A. (TURB), AleAnna, Inc. (ANNA), EpicQuest Education Group International (EEIQ), and bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (BIAF) posted triple-digit percent gains during the month.

Shift Toward Execution Over Hype

While large-cap technology names struggled amid sector rotation, these smaller firms capitalized on geopolitical disruptions, internal restructuring, and performance milestones to deliver outsized gains.

Urban-Gro staged a sharp recovery after regaining compliance with Nasdaq listing standards in early March. The removal of delisting concerns lifted investor confidence. At the same time, its merger with Flash Sports and Media marked a notable transition beyond indoor agriculture into sports-focused media and marketing, reshaping its growth narrative.

Urban-Gro stock traded over 4% higher in Tuesday’s premarket and has surged over 731% in March. 

Shielding From Energy Shocks And The European LNG Supply Crisis

Turbo Energy benefited from escalating tensions in the Middle East that sent energy prices higher. Its AI-powered energy storage systems gained traction among European industrial clients seeking to stabilize operating costs. On March 6, the company disclosed a $53 million backlog in industrial orders, further reinforcing optimism around its standing in the energy security space. 

Turbo Energy stock traded over 6% lower in Tuesday’s premarket and has posted a gain of over 314% in March.  

AleAnna surged as supply shocks rattled global liquefied natural gas markets. Disruptions tied to the Middle East conflict tightened availability, elevating the strategic importance of the company’s Italian gas assets. 

On March 12, the company announced significant increases to its proved reserves across key Po Valley fields, following the completion of its final 2025 reserves report. AleAnna stock traded over 2% higher in Tuesday’s premarket, with over 25% gains in March. 

Low Float And Growth Milestones 

After completing a 1-for-16 reverse stock split in late February, EpicQuest Education Group began March with a reduced float of about 1.48 million shares, allowing for extreme price velocity on relatively low buying volume.

EpicQuest stock has surged by over 242% in March. 

Meanwhile bioAffinity Technologies delivered one of the most dramatic moves, nearly doubling in a single trading session on March 13. Strong sales growth for its lung diagnostic product, CyPath, and ambitious 100% growth guidance in 2026, suggested the company had successfully transitioned from the development stage to revenue-generating operations.

BIAF stock has increased by over 233% in March.
