Investing.com -- Last month, Investing.com’s top team of data engineers and market experts provided all our users with a free list of top-10 stock picks for 2025.
By tweaking the metrics that drive the monthly updated ProPicks AI list of winners - which outperformed the market by 19.4% in 2024 - and bringing a greater focus on the long term, they were able to sort out names that were both undervalued and presented fantastic long-term growth potential.
Needless to say, those who took this opportunity to heart and banked on the picks couldn’t be happier now.
In fact, the results have been so fantastic that even our team of experts is surprised.
Amongst our top-10 picks for the year, nine are positive, with five returning more than 15% and three returning more than 20%!
Amazing right?
And that’s not all: after Intel’s (NASDAQ:INTC) 16% jump on Tuesday, the composed return of the picks is an impressive 12.5% on an equally weighted basis. That compares to a much smaller 4.2% for the S&P during the same period.
Here’s the breakdown of the picks and their respective returns year-to-date:
- Monolithic Power (NASDAQ:MPWR) Systems: +17.8%
- Applied Materials (NASDAQ:AMAT): +5.76%
- JB Hunt Transport Services (NASDAQ:JBHT): +2.11%
- HCA Healthcare (NYSE:HCA), Inc: +5.52%
- Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT): -11.8%
- LPL Financial (NASDAQ:LPLA): +16.38%
- Fortinet (NASDAQ:FTNT): +20.94%
- IDEX Corporation (NYSE:IEX) : +11.1%
- KLA Corporation (NASDAQ:KLAC): +20.33%
- Intel Corporation: +36%
Now be honest: what was the last time you got nine out of ten picks right? I’m guessing never is the answer.
But don’t worry about it; none of us could have done it by ourselves either.
