How are The Motley Fool's November AI stock picks performing?
The Motley Fool's five AI stock recommendations from early November are down an average of 2.4% through their first three trading days. That's 1.4 percentage points behind the S&P 500's 1.0% decline over the same window.
None of the six picks tracked are currently outperforming the market. Alphabet (GOOGL) is the relative standout, down just 1.3%, though still in the red alongside the broader index.
Three days is an extremely short measurement window—individual session volatility often overshadows any thesis. These positions have barely begun their run, and early movement rarely predicts longer-term outcomes for stock picks centered on structural trends like AI adoption.
