Each year, Seeking Alpha's Top 10 stock selections have delivered results well above benchmark indices. According to published performance figures:
The 2023 list gained 184%
The 2024 list is up 324%, compared to the S&P 500’s 47%
The 2025 list has already returned 50.8%, while the S&P 500 has returned 16.94% during the same period
This consistent outperformance underlines the effectiveness of Seeking Alpha’s data-driven selection process, particularly for investors looking to refine their portfolios with momentum-backed, fundamentally sound equities.
The heart of the event lies in the Quant Ratings system, which is an algorithmic model developed to rank nearly every U.S.-listed security. The system scores equities based on five essential factors:
Valuation
Growth
Profitability
Momentum
EPS Revisions
Each stock is assigned a dynamic grade, helping investors prioritize candidates with the most favorable balance of risk and reward. These scores are updated daily to reflect market shifts, earnings data, and sentiment trends.
The result is a set of “Strong Buy” recommendations that, according to Seeking Alpha, have been backtested over more than a decade and have consistently outpaced major indices.
