Investing.com -- With the S&P 500 hovering near record highs, smart money has been seeking high-value opportunities with untapped upside potential.
Not by coincidence, several lesser-known names have been gaining significant momentum since the start of July, while the Mag 7 has mostly stalled.
Is the market simply catching up to those names, or is a bigger shift brewing beneath the surface?
While it may be too soon to call, the fact is that when markets are this expensive, identifying where the real value lies usually proves the difference between average and game-changing gains.
However, uncovering such names is often a difficult game to play. Unless, that is, if you have access to AI-powered investment-grade financial models designed for stock picking.
In fact, , our premium members received a list of AI-picked high-potential names at the start of July, including Thyssenkrupp (OTC:TYEKF) (ETR:TKAG), up a massive +25% in July ALONE.

On top of providing fresh picks for the month ahead, our AI also explains exactly why it picked that given stock, helping its users ensure the picks align with their goals and risk tolerance.
Below is its rationale for picking On Semi stock, one of our standout winners for June:
But how does the AI do it?
At the start of each month, our AI refreshes each strategy with up to 20 stock picks. These selections are based on a blend of more than 150 well-established financial models compiled by our machine learning model on over 15 years of financial data worldwide.
Some stocks are added, others retained, and a few are removed, reflecting how the model reassesses each company’s medium-term growth potential.
To track performance, each strategy uses equal weighting across all selected stocks. While you’re not required to follow that weighting exactly, it offers a consistent benchmark to evaluate how well the model identifies opportunities across the board.
At the end of the day, stock picking is still a game of probabilities. But the key isn’t just finding winners — it’s knowing when to move on from the ones that no longer stack up.
Since launch, the model has done just that — delivering more than a few standout success stories along the way.
As a matter of fact, our backtest suggests that going the long run is the surest path to long-term wealth generation.
