The Smart Score is a proprietary quantitative stock scoring system created by TipRanks. It gives stocks a score from one to ten, based on 8 market key factors. The lowest score is a 1 and the highest is 10. The scoring system works as follows:
Stocks with a score of 8, 9, or 10 are considered Outperform.
Stocks with a score of 4, 5, 6, or 7 are considered Neutral.
Stocks with a score of 1, 2, or 3 are considered Underperform.
The score is data-driven and does not involve any human intervention. Six of the eight market factors which are incorporated into the Smart Score calculation are unique to TipRanks, only the technicals and fundamentals are not.
