As we head into the final stretch of 2022, with less than three weeks until we turn the page to 2023, the markets and the economy are sending a series of mixed signals. Stocks have leveled out somewhat over the past month, with reduced volatility compared to the previous six months. At the same time, investors must consider the economic signals – especially persistently high inflation and uncertainty over the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision this week. It’s a difficult environment for making stock decisions.
What’s needed here is a simple tool that can cut through the noise and give an easy-to-read, data-driven sign on any particular stock. That’s where the TipRanks Smart Score comes in, an analytic tool that takes the flood of raw market data and breaks it down by a series of 8 readily identifiable factors, each of which is known to match up to future outperformance. Taken together, and distilled into a single-digit score, these factors give a useful pointer for each stock. The Smart Score rating comes on a scale of 1 through 10, with a Perfect 10 being the highest, and the clearest signpost for investors.
A select few stocks will pick up the ‘Perfect 10’ score, the highest rating from the Smart Score. Are these the right ones for your portfolio? According to the algorithms, they check all the boxes for gains in the year ahead; we’ve pulled up details on three of them to find out what makes them tick. Here they are, along with commentary from the Street’s analysts.
