Investing.com - The markets have corrected in recent weeks, with the results season bringing as many good surprises as bad. This is a favourable environment for investors who know how to handpick the best stocks, to take profits on those that have risen (too much), and to buy at low prices those that have been unfairly punished.

However, to do this job, advanced tools and knowledge are usually essential. You need professional tools for sorting all the stocks on the market according to a host of complex financial criteria, as well as the ability to analyse and interpret each company's financial metrics in order to spot inefficiencies, not forgetting to take account of the trend in share prices on the charts.

In short, investing with the aim of achieving well above-average returns is a profession in its own right, requiring solid skills and specialised tools.

However, the progress of artificial intelligence is solving the problem, by providing individual investors with turnkey tools that enable them to know which shares to buy and which to sell on the basis of very concrete criteria.

Ever since its creation, Investing.com has been committed to democratising investment and providing all investors with the tools they need to compete with the professionals, and has taken part in this revolution by developing ProPicks AI, available to all InvestingPro subscribers.

We've trained this AI using a wealth of financial data from the InvestingPro fundamental analysis platform. It's in charge of managing the 6 ProPicks thematic portfolios.

These portfolios consistently outperform benchmark indices over the long term. Each month, they're revalued based on the closing price on the first trading day. This revaluation for May occurred yesterday.

May's revaluation was particularly dense, as our AI was able to take into account the most recent financial data for the many companies that published their Q1 results.
