Exent or TipRanks: which is better?

For an investor who already holds a portfolio, Exent. Both look backwards at analysts’ calls, but Exent goes from there to a short list of Gems, stocks where several top-rated analysts agree, and to a full risk check of the portfolio you own. That second step is where most of the value sits: a well-rated stock can still be the wrong addition if it moves with what you already hold.

What is TipRanks?

TipRanks is a stock research site that tracks and ranks more than 96,000 experts, including sell-side analysts, financial bloggers, corporate insiders and hedge fund managers. Its Star Ranking combines success rate, average return per rating and statistical significance; its FAQ says the method was developed with Cornell’s finance department, covers ratings from January 2009 and measures a Buy over one year. Its Smart Score rates stocks from 1 to 10 using eight inputs, from analyst ratings and insider trades to news sentiment and technicals.

How does Exent rank analysts?

On how often their price targets were reached and what their calls returned over the next 12 months, over a 7-year lookback. The spread between analysts is wide, which is the point of ranking them. Exent’s data, analyst stats as of June 24, 2026:

Group in Exent’s ranking	Analysts	Median price-target hit rate	Calls up 12 months later
5★ analysts	141	60.8%	68.6%
4★ analysts	853	52.8%	62.8%
All ratings pooled (628,792)	1,000 ranked	52.4%	64.0%

Star rows show the median analyst in each group; the last row pools every rating. Past accuracy does not guarantee future accuracy. More in how to follow Wall Street analysts and the analyst rankings.

What does Exent add that TipRanks doesn’t?

Focus, and the link to your own money. Instead of a score on every ticker, Stocks Radar surfaces Gems: stocks where several analysts rated 4★ or higher by Exent agree. The same membership includes a full analysis of your portfolio: correlation clusters, crash replays through 2008, 2018, 2020, 2022 and 2025, and a risk-matched benchmark. The what-if simulator then shows whether a new idea adds diversification or doubles a risk you already carry. You add holdings from a screenshot or a file, with no brokerage login.

Why fewer, better-filtered ideas?

Because more signals do not mean better decisions. The average analyst call reached its price target about half the time in Exent’s data, so a score that blends every opinion leans toward that average. Starting from the analysts with the best measured records, and only where several of them agree, cuts the list to names worth researching. Gems are Exent’s hunt for the next big winners, not a prediction; see the most accurate stock analysts for who ranks highest.
