How are Insider Monkey's quality stock picks performing after 3 months?
Insider Monkey's two quality stock picks from July 2026 are down an average of 7.0% after three months, underperforming the S&P 500's 3.6% gain by 10.6 percentage points. Neither pick has beaten the market so far.
Qualcomm (QCOM) stands as the better performer with a loss of 5.3%, though it still trails the index. The second pick has declined more sharply, dragging the overall average into negative territory.
These results cover just two of the nine stocks highlighted in Insider Monkey's original July article. The tracked picks represent a limited sample from the full list, with both showing losses through the first quarter of observation.

How are Insider Monkey's best quality stocks performing?
After three days, Insider Monkey's quality stock selections are down 1.6% on average, lagging the S&P 500's 0.3% decline by 1.3 percentage points. The article, published July 10th, highlighted nine stocks favored by Wall Street analysts for quality characteristics.
Only one of the two tracked picks is outperforming the broader market at this early stage. PepsiCo leads with a 0.5% gain, the sole positive return among the holdings.
Three days is too brief to draw meaningful conclusions about stock-picking skill. Short-term volatility routinely obscures longer-term performance patterns, and these early returns reflect market noise more than the fundamental quality thesis the picks were selected to represent.
