The Motley Fool's May 2026 stock picks trail the S&P 500 by 0.1 points after 3 days

3 Days Later — May 29, 2026

How are The Motley Fool's May 2026 stock picks performing after 3 days?

The Motley Fool's latest stock picks have returned +1.4% in their first three days, compared to +1.5% for the S&P 500 over the same period. The portfolio of 13 stocks published May 26, 2026, is slightly behind the index at this very early stage.

Six of the 13 picks are currently beating the market. One standout is driving most of the portfolio's gain: U has jumped 19.2% in three days, though details on other holdings weren't disclosed.

Three days is too early to draw meaningful conclusions about any stock-picking strategy. Short-term market movements are heavily influenced by volatility and noise rather than the fundamental thesis behind each pick. FinIQ will continue tracking these selections against the S&P 500 to measure whether The Motley Fool's research translates to outperformance over quarters and years.
