Ben Gerlinger — Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are Ben Gerlinger's stock ratings?
Based on the calls 13Foresight could measure, about 57% of Ben's ratings were profitable over a one-year hold, with an average return of +1.2% per rating, or -1.3% versus the S&P 500. We score every analyst the same way, from historical prices. Each return is measured in the stock's own trading currency, so for non-US listings the S&P 500 comparison leaves out currency moves.
How is Ben ranked on 13Foresight?
Ben Gerlinger is currently ranked #803 with a 4-star rating. Our rank blends hit rate, average return versus the market, and how many calls we have to judge — so a long, consistent record outweighs a few lucky picks. It is our own calculation, updated daily.
Which stocks does Ben cover?
Ben most recently has ratings on PB, UMBF, TCBI, BPOP, FLG, AXP, FCNCA, SSB, VLY, HBAN, NTRS, BKU and 36 more. See the full coverage table above for positions, price targets and our measured returns.
