Stock picking can boil down to a numbers crunching game, sifting through the ever-shifting data that pours in from the markets as thousands of investors make decisions on thousands of stocks. The permutations are endless.
Not every investors has the time or ability to handle this sorting, but the data tools at TipRanks, especially the Smart Score, have already done the necessary collection and collation. The Smart Score algorithm, after gathering the latest information on every stock, sorts it according to 8 factors, each known as a strong predictor of future outperformance. The result, for more than 8,800 stocks in the database, is a single-digit score, on a scale of 1 to 10, giving investors an at-a-glance indicator of where the stock is headed.
