Investing.com -- To the surprise of many investors, who thought the market’s massive 2025 bull run had already reached stratospheric levels, August proved to be one of the most opportunity-rich months in a long time.

While NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) wasn’t the star of the show this time around, the rally’s broadening breadth brought a multitude of lesser-known winners, filling the pockets of those able to spot them early on.

Such was the case of our Premium members, who subscribed for less than $10 a month and took the opportunity to bag a record-breaking number of double-digit winners in August, including jaw-dropping returns on individual names such as:

  • ViaSat Inc (NASDAQ:VSAT): Up +96.20% this month ALONE.
  • Sapiens: UP +60.22% this month ALONE.
  • DRDGOLD (NYSE:DRD): +28.77% this month ALONE.
  • Clear Secure Inc (NYSE:YOU): +27.84% this month ALONE.

But these weren’t one-off winners. In fact, looking at the whole selection of picks for August, the hit rate was an impressive 83%, with a composed return of more than 12.6% for the month alone.

But if you missed the list of picks of August, there’s no need to feel like you’ve missed the boat. A new list of winners for September is already on its way, ready to hit the market on the first of the month.

The returns described in this article have pushed our composed AI-powered strategies to a massive +131.69% return since their real-world launch in November 2023. This represents a game-changing +92.91% outperformance over the S&P 500 in less than 2 years.

*These are not backtested or fictional results. They’re real-world results since the AI agent went live in November 2023.

But our AI models don’t only offer US picks. In fact, since the beginning of this year, when we launched our models in non-US markets, the returns have also been incredible.

Below are more relevant stats on the AI’s real-world performance since launch:

  • Global hit rate of 63.41%
  • Not only are the winners in the majority, but they also outperform the losers by 78.11%
  • 90% of the strategies are in the green.
  • 91 stocks show a profit of over 10%—an average of 17.8%.
  • The best strategy gained 12.8% in August ALONE.
  • One stock up 145% (ThyssenKrupp)
  • Five stocks above 90%, including ViaSat - which did it in August alone.

But why did our AI pick ViaSat in the first place? Check out below its rationale, published on the first of August—i.e., before the 96%+ rally:

Explosive Growth Amid Strategic Transformation

  • Our ML engine selected ViaSat Inc. as a strong buy based on exceptional market performance, robust growth metrics, and favorable volatility patterns creating a potential inflection point.
  • The stock shows remarkable momentum with 79% 3-month, 71% 6-month, and 93% YTD price returns, while trading at just 0.48x book value.
  • Revenue exceeded expectations ($1.15B vs $1.13B forecast) with impressive EBITDA growth of 23% and stronger-than-expected earnings (loss of $0.02 vs expected $0.59 loss).
  • Activist investor Carronade Capital (2.6% stake) recently proposed spinning off ViaSat’s Defense unit, potentially valuing the company between $50-$100 per share (current price ~$16).
  • The incoming $568M settlement from Ligado Networks in FY2026 provides significant financial flexibility to address debt concerns while supporting continued growth initiatives.

Here’s how the AI stock-picking technology works

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.
