The Smart Score at TipRanks, is just that – an AI-powered data collection and collation tool, that gathers and sorts the flood of statistical information generated by more than 8,500 publicly traded stocks. The tool then presents that data on an easy-to-use scale of 1 to 10, giving each stock a single digit score based on a distillation of 8 separate factors each of which has proven to match up with equity outperformance.

Each also features a Strong Buy rating from the analyst consensus and double-digit upside potential for the coming year.
