How did TipRanks' top analyst picks from August 2025 perform after one year?
TipRanks' three analyst-selected stocks from August 2025 returned an average of 5.2% over the past year, trailing the S&P 500's 20.4% gain by more than 15 percentage points.
Only one of the three picks outperformed the benchmark. SPIR delivered a 35.7% gain and carried the portfolio's overall return, while the other two selections fell short of the index.
The 15-point underperformance reflects the difficulty of concentrated portfolios when the majority of picks lag. One strong winner wasn't enough to offset weaker results elsewhere.
