In October of 2018, /u/Mr_Suzan was inspired by a post from /u/galloog1 to seek out underrated stock picks from the /r/investing community and monitor their performance.
Post-COVID bounce, I wanted to see how these picks have performed, so I've gathered them all here.
A few of these have earnings posting soon, so the ranks may change, but overall it looks like a solid performance by the community. Any new underrated stocks to think about?
Some quick stats:
-
Overall average return: ~36% (compared to ~18% for the S&P 500)
-
Return on the most upvoted pick: Disney (DIS) 1%
-
Highest returning pick: Enphase (ENPH) 1110% (recommended by /u/williemax)
-
If you invested in the top 5 most upvoted stocks, you would have seen a 27% return
-
If you invested in the top 5 most controversial stocks, you would have seen a 99% return
-
The top 10 gainers in order were ENPH, TSLA, JNUG, APT, DXCM, OKTA, AYX, BAND, ALU, WIX
-
If you had picked one of these stocks at random, you would have had a ~54% chance of >10% gains and a ~20% chance of >100% gains
