InvestingPro continues its monthly cadence of AI-driven recommendations: every first of the month, members receive an updated roster of stocks identified by ProPicks AI. Built from thousands of financial and market datasets, the system is designed to surface high-conviction opportunities ahead of broader market attention.
To mark the midpoint of 2026, InvestingPro offered a complimentary, live presentation yesterday unveiling the AI’s selections for the remainder of the year. The broadcast explained the model updates and how latest inputs reshaped the list of favored names. Viewers were encouraged to post questions either directly in the broadcast thread or in the platform’s forum.
Performance of earlier picks
Earlier in the year InvestingPro published a free list of its top "Buy Now" ideas for 2026. According to the company, that January list has gone on to record an equal-weight average return of +29.5% year-to-date. That outcome translated to performance roughly triple the S&P 500’s gain over the same timeframe, with seven of the ten stocks posting positive returns.
Model refresh and thematic rotation
As the second half of the year began, InvestingPro’s data engineers fed the AI models with the most recent market data. The refreshed models then generated an updated set of picks intended to reflect where the next opportunities may lie. Rather than simply tilting toward the strongest winners of the first half, the AI reportedly rotated into a different mix of ideas. The new group leans more toward value-oriented names spanning enterprise software, financials, infrastructure, energy and defensive sectors.
Panel commentary during the live session highlighted that semiconductor infrastructure dominated headlines in the first half, yet several of the biggest winners from January came from less crowded areas of the market such as managed care and turnaround situations that many investors had previously discounted.
Live discussion and differing viewpoints
The free broadcast assembled a cross-functional panel to unpack the AI’s output. Hosting the session were Asaf Rothem, Investing.com’s VP of Marketing, joined by Global Head of Content Thomas Monteiro and Lon Juricic, VP of News and founder of Street Insider. The group reviewed how the prior picks performed and debated the rationale behind the AI’s newest selections. The session featured some disagreement among the panelists, reflecting that not everyone endorsed every pick — a point the hosts noted contributed to a lively discussion.
How to access the presentation and follow-up
Investors interested in seeing the full explanations behind the AI picks were directed to the broadcast link provided by InvestingPro and invited to follow the presentation via the platform’s X channel. The team reiterated an open invitation to leave questions and comments during or after the presentation.
Promotions and call to action
To coincide with the release of the updated list, InvestingPro highlighted a promotional offer: a July sale providing 60% off on InvestingPro subscriptions. The company also framed a broader message: each day that a prospective investor delays is a day the market moves without them, and the platform aims to deliver institutional-style data and AI insights at a lower price point.
The webinar and updated ProPicks AI selections position the service to continue delivering monthly, data-driven ideas. Interested parties are able to watch the recorded session through InvestingPro’s channels and engage with the analysts and hosts to understand the drivers behind the AI selections.
