One thing is certain, investors are always looking for ways to beat the market. However, with so much information being circulated around the Street, where’s an investor to start? What’s more, the trend of online advice further confusing or misleading investors is on the rise.
That’s where TipRanks comes in. The financial data aggregator works to make investing more accessible, offering data-driven investment tools that in the past, were only made available to financial professionals.
So, with so many different tools and features on TipRanks, are you sure you know about them all?
Here are 3 things you didn’t know you could do with TipRanks:
Trending Stocks
Taking a cue from the analysts is one strategy for finding fresh investing ideas. But how are investors supposed to know which stocks are specifically on Wall Street’s radar right now?
TipRanks’ Trending Stocks tool shows you which stocks are trending with Wall Street analysts or stocks that have just scored ratings from three or more analysts.
What exactly does this feature show you?
Providing a complete breakdown of trending stocks, the tool shows the number of Buy, Hold and Sell ratings that have been assigned in the last 72 hours, 7 days or 30 days. On top of this, you can see the overall analyst consensus and average price target for the stock, along with the upside or downside potential.
To narrow your stock search further, you can filter by Stock Rating Type, or the Best Rated, Worst Rated, and Most Rated stocks, as well as by market cap and sector. You can even filter your search by market to show you the trending stocks in the U.S., Canadian, and U.K.
If you want to find out more about a particular stock, click on “See All Ratings”, to do more research and add stocks to your portfolio or watchlist.
Trending Stocks is super easy to use and brings you invaluable market insights!
Dividend Calculator
Which stocks are the ultimate defensive plays? Dividend stocks. Even in times of market turmoil, dividend stocks are able to stay afloat, providing investors with a steady stream of income. What’s more, suppose the dividend stock’s price falls, the dividend yield actually increases the more the shares decline.
That being said, it can be challenging to determine how much you will earn in dividend payments. Enter TipRanks. The platform’s dividend calculator offers an easy way to calculate projected income, including for dividends that are reinvested.
Simply enter the stock ticker, and the relevant fields will fill automatically. To search for dividend-paying stocks, you can use TipRanks’ High Dividend Stock Comparison, Stock Screener, or Dividend Calendar.
You can adjust any of the fields, including DRIP (Dividend Reinvestment Plan), automatically reinvested dividends. If you don’t have a particular stock in mind, you can do the calculations based on whichever share price, holding period, dividend yield, etc. you wish to calculate.
Based on the data you entered, you’ll be able to see what your end returns will be.

Insiders’ Hot Stocks
What’s another way to pinpoint compelling investment opportunities? One approach is to follow the activity of people in the know, namely corporate insiders.
Corporate insiders are the C-Level executives, such as the CEO, COO or CFO, Directors or 10%-plus shareholders of a company. These insiders know the ins and outs of the companies they manage better than anyone else.
It should be noted that although there are several reasons why insiders may sell shares of their companies, there is usually only one reason they buy. So, when insiders snap up shares of their own companies, it could be a signal to investors that now is the time to get in on the action.
The platform’s Insiders’ Hot Stocks tool enables you to track the investing activity of tens of thousands of corporate insiders. How does it work?
First and foremost, the tool shows you an overview of four major strategies that TipRanks has identified based on insider trading activity.
Transaction Strategy: Buy or sell transaction trends by all insiders
C-level Strategy: Buy or sell transaction trends by chief level executives
Major Event Strategy: Major institutional transaction events, for example a company’s owner buying shares
Top Ranked Strategy: Transactions top-performing insiders
We can see that the Top Ranked Strategy yields the highest annualized return, with the figure landing at 38.64%. Adding to the good news, the tool provides a full overview of which stocks corporate insiders are pulling the trigger on.
You can easily evaluate any combination of the four strategies. Go to ‘Select columns’ to add or remove data to the results. This data includes price change, market cap, strategy, last activity, trending since, stock behavior, signal reasoning, and activities.
