These 2 ‘Perfect 10’ Stocks Are Winning Wall Street’s Confidence

Successful investing rarely comes down to nailing every trade. More often, it’s about building a portfolio that consistently leans toward the right names over time. Getting that mix right is where most of the real work happens.

That’s where TipRanks’ Smart Score comes in. The AI-driven tool is designed to cut through the noise by pulling together a wide range of market signals – from analyst activity and insider transactions to financial performance and broader investor sentiment – and organizing them into a single, usable framework.

Each publicly traded stock is then assigned a score on a scale of 1 to 10, with a “Perfect 10” representing the strongest overall setup. The rating reflects how a stock stacks up against a set of factors that have historically aligned with outperformance. It’s not a crystal ball, but it does offer a data-backed snapshot of how the odds may be stacking up.

With that in mind, we took a look through the TipRanks database to identify stocks that currently carry a Perfect 10 Smart Score – and that have recently picked up support from the Street’s analysts. Below are two that stand out.

Pony AI (PONY)

We’ll start in the world of AI and autonomous vehicles, where Pony AI, our first ‘Perfect 10’ stock, is operating in the Chinese market. The company keeps two headquarters offices, one in Fremont, California and the other in Guangzhou, China. Since starting in 2016, Pony has become a leader in China’s autonomous vehicle sector, developing self-driving vehicles and robotaxis.

The company’s technology is based on perception – high end sensors that tell the AI where the vehicle is and what is surrounding it; prediction – that allows the AI to extrapolate the movements of pedestrians and vehicles in the area; planning & control – that allows the AI system to plot a course and follow it; and infrastructure and hardware, including everything from the on-board software and control systems to the remote servers that provide computing support for the system. Pony has integrated more than 20 redundant safety features into its autonomous vehicles, understanding that this tech will never expand if the public cannot trust it.

Pony’s robotaxi, PonyPilot, is available in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, and customers can access the service via a mobile app. The company has been using its sixth-generation automated robotaxi vehicles for several years, and this past November launched its Gen-7 robotaxis. Pony is on track to put 3,000 robotaxis in operation by the end of this year. In addition, Pony has an autonomous robotruck service in operation, on several routes in eastern China.

Pony has been seeing strong success in commercializing its robotaxi operations. Revenue from robotaxis was up 89.5% year-over-year in 3Q25, the last period reported, and total quarterly revenues hit US$25.4 million – for a 72% y/y gain. Like many tech firms, the company typically runs a net operating loss; in Q3, this came to 14 cents per share, in non-GAAP measures.

For Citi analyst Jeff Chung, there are multiple reasons for investors to take an upbeat look here, especially over the near-term. Listing those, he writes, “We open 90-day upside catalyst watch on Pony AI, considering 6 events ahead: (1) 4Q25 results likely to be decent with one-off gain (estimated ~100x return on Moore Threads investment), (2) Waymo’s potential 1Q26 financing round at an implied valuation of 280x 2025 P/S which may re-rate Pony AI’s valuation (87x 2025 P/S), (3) Improving investor sentiment on Pony’s potential entry into Southbound stock connect in Jun’26, (4) USChina competition in tech area potentially encouraging China to launch a more aggressive ADAS/Robotaxi policy, (5) New-gen Robotaxi further cutting ADK cost by 20% around Apr-2026, (6) Asset-light business developing well.”

Putting this into quantifiable terms, Chung rates PONY as a Buy, with a $24.50 price target that implies a one-year upside of 48%. (To watch Chung’s track record, click here)

Overall, Pony holds a Strong Buy consensus rating from the Street, based on 4 reviews that split 3 to 1 favoring Buy over Hold. The shares are priced at $16.58, and the $24.95 average price target indicates a 50.5% gain in store for the next 12 months. (See PONY stock forecast)

Zeta Global Holdings (ZETA)

The second ‘Perfect 10’ we’ll look at is Zeta Global Holdings, a company in the marketing technology niche. The company offers the Zeta Marketing Platform, or ZMP, which brings together AI and consumer signals – trillions of them – to support the identity-data-based omnichannel marketing platform. Zeta’s platform lets customers manage customer relationships, automate marketing, and drive ROI through insights – using the huge datasets at its disposal.

Importantly, Zeta can do this at enterprise scale. Zeta boasts over 450 such enterprise-scale customers (defined as customers worth $100,000 in revenue over the trailing 12 months), over diverse verticals. These customers can personalize their own consumer-facing experiences, using Zeta’s platform. It’s a system designed – using email, social media, web, SMS text, connected TV, and video – to deliver the best possible results for any digital marketing systems.

Earlier this month, Zeta announced that it had teamed up with OpenAI, the firm behind ChatGPT, in a strategic collaboration. Under the agreement, OpenAI will power the applications behind Zeta’s Athena, the superintelligent agent purpose-built from the ground up for enterprise marketing. OpenAI will provide a combination of conversational intelligence and agentic applications for Athena.

We should note that in early November, Zeta announced its results for 3Q25 – its 17th consecutive ‘beat and raise’ quarter – an impressive achievement by any standard. The top line revenue, at $337 million, was up 25% year-over-year and beat the forecast by almost $9.5 million. Zeta reported a non-GAAP EPS of 27 cents per share, which was 9 cents better than had been anticipated.

This stock has caught the attention of Canaccord analyst David Hynes, who likes the way this year is already shaping up. He says, “2026 is off to a good start for Zeta… CES was a positive event for the firm, where Zeta leadership had the chance to engage with many of its key Agency HoldCo partners, and of course, we had the announcement of a strategic collaboration with OpenAI, which will help to power its ongoing AI advancements with Athena. While we won’t hear from management on Q4/25 for another month and a half or so, we think the setup is favorable, and the firm already has reasonably conservative guidance out there for 2026, so there shouldn’t be a whole lot of risk heading into that event.”

“We continue to find valuation relatively undemanding here for a business that’s organically growing well into the 20%+ range and expanding margins,” Hynes further added.

These comments support his Buy rating, while his $30 price target implies a 38% gain over the next year. (To watch Hynes’ track record, click here)

There are 14 recent reviews on record for ZETA stock, breaking down to 11 Buys and 3 Holds to support the Strong Buy consensus rating. The shares are priced at $21.67 and the $29.40 average price target indicates a 36% gain on the one-year horizon. (See ZETA stock forecast)
