Track record
How the stocks all seven investors agree on have done
We check every stock against the published rules of Buffett, Graham, Lynch, Greenblatt, Munger, Fisher and Terry Smith. When all seven agree, the stock has usually been a good one. Here are the numbers, including the ones that do not flatter us.
+73.8
points ahead of the S&P 500 over 5 years
- All seven agree
- +150.4%
- S&P 500
- +76.6%
Median return of the 47 stocks all seven frameworks agreed on, measured on May 24, 2026.
Measured again today
The same test on today's list (44 US stocks with a full five years of prices): +109.1% against +68.6% for the S&P 500.
Five years, side by side
Median return of the stocks all seven agree on today, against the S&P 500, both starting at zero five years ago.
The stricter the filter, the better the result
Median five-year return by how many of the seven investors rate a stock a fit.

A few months say little about a method built for five years. We keep publishing it either way.
The written Buffett Brain analyses are tracked separately: 720 since June 13, 2026. That is too short to judge, so we will show results once a full year of prices is in.
What these numbers do not show
- This is a look back. We score stocks with today's data and measure the last five years of prices, so companies that went bankrupt or were delisted are missing, and today's scores already know how the businesses turned out.
- Each stock's return is capped at +400% so one runaway winner cannot carry the result. Returns are price only, without dividends.
- Past returns do not tell you what happens next. This is research, not investment advice.
The full method is written up in a working paper with a permanent DOI (10.5281/zenodo.20393518). Read the paper · How the scoring works
