Up 17%+ in first week of June, these stocks are positioning for even further gains

Investing.com -- Despite the market giving vibes that it was about to reach a short-term peak after its best May since the ’90s, June kicked off with even further gains for stock investors, with the S&P 500 managing to notch three out of four positive sessions so far.

But between the escalating feud between Elon Musk and Trump on the one side and seemingly improving developments on the US-China front on the other side, individual stock returns have varied widely.

As Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) now sit on MTD losses of the order of -17.83% and -9.01%, respectively, other stocks are gaining big time, eating up some of the lost market share from those giants.

Such is the case of Dollar General (NYSE:DG) and ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ:ON), up a massive +17.06% and +17.90% in the first few sessions of this month, respectively.

Both names were selected by our AI-powered stock picker BEFORE they rallied on June first, as part of our broader monthly selection of picks, available exclusively for InvestingPro members for less than $10 a month via this link.

Not only that, but those following our June list of picks (InvestingPro members can access it directly here) are sitting on other phenomenal results already this month, such as:

• Axcelis Technologies (NASDAQ:ACLS): +7.12% this month alone.
• Advance Auto Parts (NYSE:AAP) 9.16% this month alone.
• Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL): +8.26% this month alone.

...Among several others.

*These are not fictional or backtested results; these are real-world gains unfolded live for the benefit of our InvestingPro members.

And these aren’t isolated results either. As a matter of fact, last week, those following our composed Tech Titans portfolio (strategy) crossed a fantastic milestone: they reached the first 100% gain since our official launch in November, effectively doubling their principal in less than a year and a half.

That’s a massive 60.81% outperformance over the S&P 500 during the same period. Those gains were buoyed by winners such as:

• NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) rallied 226.7% while within strategy from November 2023 to December 2024
• Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) rallied 185.6% in 6 months
• MicroStrategy Incorporated (NASDAQ:MSTR) gained 94.9% in 6 months

...Among many others that gained over 50% during the holding period.

This proven methodology is also now available globally, with results already showing since launch for non-US markets in January.

Buoyed by picks like:

• Thyssenkrupp (OTC:TYEKF) (ETR:TKAG) (Germany): +140.7% while within the strategy
• ABL Bio (KQ:298380) (South Korea): +169.90% YTD
• Indra Sistemas (OTC:ISMAY) (Spain): +116.74% YTD
• Colab Cloud Platforms Ltd (BO:COLA) (India): +111.8% while within the strategy

...Our composed global portfolios are also crushing their respective benchmark indexes. See below:

• Industrial Champions Germany: +43.17% since launch, beating its respective benchmark by 21.78%
• Spanish Market Leaders: +33.01% since launch, beating its respective benchmark by 10.92%
• Korean Market Leaders: +26.28% since launch, beating its respective benchmark by 9.91%
• Best Brazilian Stocks: +23.28% since launch, beating its respective by 10.79%

But how does our AI keep selecting winners BEFORE they rally?

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 stay on, and a few are dropped, reflecting how the AI evaluates their medium-term growth potential.

Performance is then tracked using equal weighting across all the stocks in the strategy. You don’t have to mirror that weighting exactly, but it gives a clear picture of how effective the model is at identifying opportunity 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. Check out the 10-year outperformance of Tech Titans over the S&P 500 below:

This means a $100K principal in our strategy would have turned into an eye-popping $1,348,039 by now.

And with the monthly update for June out already, now would be the perfect time to subscribe to InvestingPro and give yourself the upper hand before it’s too late.
