Intel stock spikes after report of possible US government stake
Investing.com -- InvestingPro members are again seeing monthly returns that would typically take years to achieve.
At the start of the month, they received an updated list of AI-picked stocks — now available for less than $9/month as part of our limited-time summer sale — which included two names that have already rallied by more than 55% since, a jaw-dropping return normally only achieved in years of patient investing.
By employing a compilation of more than 150 investor-grade big-data stock analysis models, previously accessible only to professional investors, it surfaced the following winners BEFORE they rallied:
- ViaSat Inc (NASDAQ:VSAT): +65.80% this month ALONE
- Sapiens International Corporation (NASDAQ:SPNS): +59.10% this month ALONE
Not only that, but with a hit rate of 87% this month — including other 15%+ winners such as Clear Secure, up 18.31% — our AI-powered list of tech picks for August is up by a massive 7.40% MTD. That compares with a 2.01% gain for the S&P 500 for the same period.
*If you’re an InvestingPro member and still haven’t checked out the list of picks for August, jump straight to it here.
If not, here’s your chance to subscribe for half the price as part of our limited-time-only summer sale.
Longer term, the results are even greater. Since the official launch in November 2023, our list of tech picks is up by a massive +120.67% — that represents an 81.88% outperformance over the S&P 500 during the same period.
These are not backtested or fictional results. These are real-world, live results since launch.
In fact, since launching non-U.S. AI-powered strategies at the beginning of this year, results have been similar. See below for some relevant numbers:
- 20 strategies have achieved an average profit of 24.75% YTD
- This corresponds to a hit rate of 91.67%
- 26 strategies (72.22%) beat their benchmark indices by an average of 7.30% this year ALONE
But why did the AI pick Sapiens at the start of August to begin with? Well, it turns out InvestingPro users can now see the why behind every stock pick, so they can have more confidence in whether that stock aligns with their goals or not.
Here is what it said:
VSAT joins a massive list of recent winners, such as (just to keep it in July):
- Medpace Holdings (NASDAQ:MEDP): +33.06% in July
- Commerzbank (ETR:CBKG) (Germany): +20.97% in July
- Tongyang (KS:001520) Life (Korea): +20.09% in July

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.
