TipRanks' three analyst-recommended picks from August 2025 have returned an average of 70.3% over the past year. That's 48 percentage points ahead of the S&P 500's 22.2% return over the same stretch.
Two of the three stocks are outperforming the benchmark. ACMR leads the group with a 233.9% gain, accounting for most of the portfolio's outperformance.
The remaining pick has lagged the market, but the strength of the top performer has been enough to pull the average well above the index. The gap between best and worst is wide here — ACMR's triple-digit return is carrying the overall result.
6 Months Later — Feb 3, 2026
TipRanks' three picks from August 2025 have returned 39% on average after six months, far outpacing the S&P 500's 9% gain over the same stretch.
Two of the three stocks are beating the market. ACMR is driving most of the outperformance with a 144% gain, while the other two picks delivered more modest results.
The 30-point spread over the S&P 500 makes this one of the sharper short-term performances among the newsletters FinIQ tracks. Whether the concentration in one breakout stock holds up longer-term remains to be seen, but the headline numbers at six months are strong.
