Empirical Validation: Analystant’s AI Model Delivers Superior Accuracy
To rigorously assess Analystant‘s predictive accuracy, we conducted a backtest on S&P 500 stocks. Our customized AI models, trained with data up to September 2024, were used to predict stocks likely to yield over 4% (long positions) or less than -4% (short positions). Results demonstrated consistent portfolio outperformance compared to raw models, establishing Analystant as a superior tool for AI-powered financial analysis.
