Investing.com -- InvestingPro members following our AI-powered list of stock picks have crossed yet another milestone.

After the AI model delivered timely calls at the beginning of August on names such as ViaSat Inc (NASDAQ:VSAT) (up +57.30% since), Sapiens (+59.40% since), Bausch Health Companies (NYSE:BHC) (36.43% since), and Unitedhealth Group (NYSE:UNH) (+27.96% MTD)—just to name a few double-digit winners from the list —the composed return of the list of our top-performing list of picks since launch in the real world in November 2023 has jumped to an eye-popping 120.41%.

That’s an astonishing +81.62% outperformance over the benchmark S&P 500 during that same period.

Not only that, but the aggregate hit rate for all US picks in August currently stands at 83%. In terms of composed strategies, 100% are in the green, with the top performing currently delivering a +7.5% gain in the month alone —+17.45% in 2025. That compares with a 9.01% return for the S&P 500 during the same period (8.44% lower).

In fact, displaying the model’s ability to assess winners, the performance of non-US stock picks since their official launch at the beginning of 2025 is just as bright. See numbers below:

  • Spanish Market Leaders: +44.69% since launch this year; +12.84% above the benchmark index.
  • Industrial Champions Germany: +43.74% since launch this year; +21.48% above the benchmark index.
  • Italian Growth Stars: 34.75% since launch this year; +9.69% above the benchmark index.

Among several others.

*These are real-world returns, not backtested or fictional results.

Here are more interesting statistics about our global list of picks:

  • 35 strategies are in positive territory since launch
  • That corresponds to a hit rate of 97.22%
  • The average profit of the composed strategies stands at 23.1%
  • 27 strategies (75.00%) outperform their benchmark indices by an average of 7.69%
  • 9 underperformers lag behind their benchmark indices by -4.98%

Now here’s the good news: given the enormous success of these picks, our AI models are expanding into 13 new markets, including stock picks for: China, Japan, the UK, Singapore, Switzerland, Israel, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, and more.

Not only that, but InvestingPro members will gain access to six new US strategies, some of which have already gained 10%+ in our August pre-launch test.

That’s a lot more picks for the same price point.

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.
