Paul Johnson — Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are Paul Johnson's stock ratings?
Based on the calls 13Foresight could measure, about 62% of Paul's ratings were profitable over a one-year hold, with an average return of +2.2% per rating, or +71.4% 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 Paul ranked on 13Foresight?
Paul Johnson is currently ranked #230 with a 5-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.

Paul most recently has ratings on PFLT, OTF, KBDC, BXSL, CCAP, BCSF, BBDC, OBDC, PSUS, MSIF, FDUS, MFIC and 20 more. See the full coverage table above for positions, price targets and our measured returns.
