It did it again: Yet a THIRD AI-picked stock is up 45%+ this month ALONE

Investing.com -- InvestingPro members following our monthly updated list of AI-picked stocks are yet again bringing home returns that would normally take months —if not years—to come through.

At the beginning of August, they received an AI-picked list of stocks (available now for less than $9 a month as part of our limited-time only summer sale) with as many as THREE names that went on to rally by more than 45% over the following 15 days.

The massive rally started with ViaSat Inc (NASDAQ:VSAT), which soared +63.45% MTD after exploding higher on an impressive beat and raise at the beginning of the month.

Then came Sapiens, which jumped +45% in a single day after the announcement that it was being taken private at a +59.59% premium from its price at the start of the month, when it was added to our AI’s list of picks.

But if that wasn’t enough, yet a third stock from that list crossed the 45%+ MTD threshold: Bausch Health Companies (NYSE:BHC), up an eye-popping +46.06% since added to the list of picks at the start of August. The rally came on the news that Paulson Capital had taken a massive stake in the global pharma play, according to its 13F report.

Below’s the AI’s rationale for picking Bausch Health for August—i.e., before the 45%+ rally:

Growth Momentum at Value Price

• Our ML engine identified Bausch Health (BHC) as a compelling buy based on strong market performance, impressive growth metrics, and attractive valuation.
• The company recently reported a remarkable Q2 2025 earnings beat with adjusted EPS of $0.40 (vs. $0.04 expected), driving shares up 2.8% and contributing to an 11.1% three-month return.
• BHC shows consistent growth momentum with revenue increasing 8.5% LTM and 4.9% quarterly, alongside 5.4% EBITDA growth. Key segments are thriving with Salix up 12% and Solta Medical up 25% year-over-year.
• The stock appears undervalued at $5.89, well below analyst fair value target of $7.00 and InvestingPro fair value of $8.82, while maintaining strong margins (70.8% gross profit, 19.2% operating income).
• Strategic initiatives including $900 million debt reduction and the DURECT acquisition position BHC for continued growth through 2025.

But these 45%+ winners are not isolated cases. In fact, in the list of picks for August, currently 16 have gained more than 10% in the month alone, including a timely call on UNH (Warren Buffett’s mystery stock), which is now up +27.86% MTD.

Currently, the hit rate for the list of picks in August stands at a solid 84%, with 100% of the composed lists in positive territory.

After these game-changing results, ProPicks AI’s Tech Titans strategy is up by a massive +120% since its official launch in November 2023. That represents an 81.22% outperformance over the S&P 500 during that same period.

But how does the AI stock picker actually work?

At the start of each month, our AI refreshes each strategy with up to 20 stock picks. These selections are based on a blend of more than 150 well-established financial models compiled by our machine learning model on over 15 years of financial data worldwide.

Some stocks are added, others retained, and a few are removed, reflecting how the model reassesses each company’s medium-term growth potential.

To track performance, each strategy uses equal weighting across all selected stocks. While you’re not required to follow that weighting exactly, it offers a consistent benchmark to evaluate how well the model identifies opportunities across the board.

At the end of the day, stock picking is still a game of probabilities. But the key isn’t just finding winners — it’s knowing when to move on from the ones that no longer stack up.

Since launch, the model has done just that — delivering more than a few standout success stories along the way.

As a matter of fact, our backtest suggests that going the long run is the surest path to long-term wealth generation.

This means a $100K principal in our strategy would have turned into an eye-popping $2,420,100.
