Stock Tips AI Visibility Ranking Trends - November 2026

Answer capsule

The November 2026 Stock Tips benchmark compares 10 companies across 497 AI answers that met its inclusion rules. Seeking Alpha leads with 47 recommendations (9.46% of answers). At least one tracked company was recommended in 63 answers; some answers recommended several companies.

The rankings distinguish being mentioned from receiving an affirmative recommendation, then examine placement and the wording used about each company. Earlier monthly results show how counts and rates changed, with each month using its own answer total. These results describe the answers reviewed, not product quality or customer satisfaction. Differences between monthly samples limit comparisons and do not establish why a result changed.

Industry leaderboard

Questions This Section Answers

• How do Stock Tips rank by recorded AI recommendations in November 2026?

The leaderboard orders companies by how many recorded answers affirmatively recommended them. That count is not the same as reach: a company can appear in many answers without being endorsed, so mention totals and recommendation totals answer different questions. Ties in recommendation count would share a rank; the printed table shows no tie at the top. Placement figures are nested inside recommendations, not separate wins.

Key findings

Tracked-company answer coverage

Questions This Section Answers

• How often did the November 2026 Stock Tips answer sample recommend any tracked company?

63 distinct answers recommended at least one tracked company. Counting each company recommendation separately gives 195, because an answer can recommend several companies. Answers with no tracked recommendation may still have recommended companies outside this comparison.

Every qualified answer mentioned at least one tracked company, yet only a minority recommended one. Because a single answer can endorse several companies, company-level recommendation counts sum to more than the number of answers carrying any recommendation. Overlap is therefore expected, and the coverage figures describe the reviewed answers rather than overall market dominance or share of investor attention.

Reach and affirmative recommendation

Seeking Alpha ranks 1 by recommendation count. Mentions: 163 (32.80%); recommendations: 47 (9.46%). Top 3 placements: 33 (6.64%); first-place placements: 10 (2.01%).

Wording about the company: 53 positive, 110 neutral, 0 negative mentions. The proportion of mentions that also included a recommendation was 28.8%. The net framing score was 0.33 (defined in Methodology).

116 mentions had no recorded recommendation. Of recorded recommendations, 70.21% were Top 3 and 21.28% were first-place.

Seeking Alpha leads on recommendation count, but its mentions far outnumber its endorsements, so reach and recommendation diverge. Wording was mostly neutral, with no negative mentions recorded. The recommendation-to-mention ratio describes how often an appearance also carried an endorsement in these answers; it is not a conversion measure, and the gap between mentions and recommendations should not be read as lost customers.

Recommendation order and placement

Top-three and first-place counts are subsets of recommendations, so they cannot be added to recommendation totals or compared as if they shared a separate base. Companies with many mentions but few endorsements show low recommendation-to-mention ratios, and where the recommendation base is small those ratios rest on sparse evidence. Placement describes position within an answer, not consumer preference or sales.

Classified framing in context

Framing records how the selected answers worded each company, not how customers or the market regard it. Neutral wording dominates nearly every profile, and negative mentions are rare but present for several companies. A positive net framing score does not explain why recommendations occurred or did not occur, and it should not be treated as a measure of company quality or reputation.

Seeking Alpha

Questions This Section Answers

• What do the November 2026 AI answer results show about Seeking Alpha mentions, recommendations and placement?

Seeking Alpha ranks 1 by recommendation count. Mentions: 163 (32.80%); recommendations: 47 (9.46%). Top 3 placements: 33 (6.64%); first-place placements: 10 (2.01%).

Wording about the company: 53 positive, 110 neutral, 0 negative mentions. The proportion of mentions that also included a recommendation was 28.8%. The net framing score was 0.33 (defined in Methodology).

116 mentions had no recorded recommendation. Of recorded recommendations, 70.21% were Top 3 and 21.28% were first-place.

Seeking Alpha holds the top recommendation count, with a substantial mention base and no negative wording recorded. Most appearances were neutral, and a minority of mentions also carried an endorsement. Its placements sit within those recommendations rather than beside them. The month-to-month comparison shows mentions rising while recommendations fell; the samples differ, so the change is recorded without an explanation.

Morningstar

Questions This Section Answers

• What do the November 2026 AI answer results show about Morningstar mentions, recommendations and placement?

Morningstar ranks 2 by recommendation count. Mentions: 169 (34.00%); recommendations: 38 (7.65%). Top 3 placements: 22 (4.43%); first-place placements: 7 (1.41%).

Wording about the company: 48 positive, 121 neutral, 0 negative mentions. The proportion of mentions that also included a recommendation was 22.5%. The net framing score was 0.28 (defined in Methodology).

Morningstar ranks second on recommendations, drawing on a mention base similar in size to the leader's. Endorsements were a smaller share of its appearances, and its wording was overwhelmingly neutral with no negatives. Top-three placements account for a little over half of its recommendations. Compared with the prior month, mentions rose while recommendations fell across separate samples.

The Motley Fool

Questions This Section Answers

• What do the November 2026 AI answer results show about The Motley Fool mentions, recommendations and placement?

The Motley Fool ranks 3 by recommendation count. Mentions: 155 (31.19%); recommendations: 37 (7.44%). Top 3 placements: 21 (4.23%); first-place placements: 15 (3.02%).

The Motley Fool combines a mid-sized mention base with a recommendation count close to Morningstar's, and its first-place share of recommendations is comparatively high. Wording was mostly neutral, with a small number of negative mentions. Its recommendation-to-mention ratio sits near the middle of the field. Mentions rose and recommendations fell between the two monthly samples, a comparison that does not establish cause.

Zacks Investment Research

Questions This Section Answers

• What do the November 2026 AI answer results show about Zacks Investment Research mentions, recommendations and placement?

Zacks Investment Research ranks 4 by recommendation count. Mentions: 169 (34.00%); recommendations: 30 (6.04%). Top 3 placements: 10 (2.01%); first-place placements: 2 (0.40%).

Wording about the company: 43 positive, 125 neutral, 1 negative mentions. The proportion of mentions that also included a recommendation was 17.8%. The net framing score was 0.25 (defined in Methodology).

139 mentions had no recorded recommendation. Of recorded recommendations, 33.33% were Top 3 and 6.67% were first-place.

From October 2026 to November 2026, Zacks Investment Research's mention count rose from 111 to 169, while its recommendation count fell from 38 to 30. The recommendation rate was 8.94% and 6.04% respectively.

Zacks Investment Research appears often in the recorded answers, but only a modest share of those appearances also carry an affirmative recommendation. First-place placements form a small subset of its recommendations, and shortlist placements are likewise limited. Wording around the company was mostly neutral, with a single negative mention and a mildly positive net framing score.

The recommendation-to-mention ratio describes the recorded answers rather than customers, sales or conversion, and framing is not customer sentiment or company quality. The two months are separate selected samples: mentions rose while recommendations fell, and the differing totals do not establish why either count or rate changed.

TipRanks

Questions This Section Answers

• What do the November 2026 AI answer results show about TipRanks mentions, recommendations and placement?

TipRanks ranks 5 by recommendation count. Mentions: 252 (50.70%); recommendations: 16 (3.22%). Top 3 placements: 11 (2.21%); first-place placements: 8 (1.61%).

Wording about the company: 38 positive, 212 neutral, 2 negative mentions. The proportion of mentions that also included a recommendation was 6.3%. The net framing score was 0.14 (defined in Methodology).

TipRanks has the largest mention base in the field but a comparatively small recommendation count, so its recommendation-to-mention ratio is low and rests on a modest endorsement base. Wording was mostly neutral, with a couple of negative mentions. A majority of its recommendations were top-three placements, and half were first-place. Mentions rose sharply while recommendations fell across separate monthly samples.

Benzinga

Questions This Section Answers

• What do the November 2026 AI answer results show about Benzinga mentions, recommendations and placement?

Benzinga ranks 6 by recommendation count. Mentions: 111 (22.33%); recommendations: 15 (3.02%). Top 3 placements: 4 (0.80%); first-place placements: 4 (0.80%).

Benzinga's mention base is smaller than most peers', and its recommendations are fewer still, with every recorded recommendation also placed in the top three and in first place. That pattern rests on a small base, so the strong placement share should be read cautiously. Wording was predominantly neutral with one negative mention. Mentions roughly doubled while recommendations edged down between samples.

Stansberry Research

Questions This Section Answers

• What do the November 2026 AI answer results show about Stansberry Research mentions, recommendations and placement?

Stansberry Research ranks 10 by recommendation count. Mentions: 0 (0.00%); recommendations: 0 (0.00%). Top 3 placements: 0 (0.00%); first-place placements: 0 (0.00%).

The prior month recorded a single mention and no recommendations; the comparison involves separate samples and does not establish why the count changed.

Earlier ranking snapshot context

Questions This Section Answers

• How do the available Stock Tips snapshots from July 2026 to November 2026 differ in recommendation coverage and measurement scope?

Only months with verified results are shown. Monthly sample coverage is listed in Methodology.

Each month is a separate sample of AI answers, so counts and rates should be read together rather than as a continuous series. Several companies show mentions rising while recommendation counts fell, but differing samples mean the movement cannot be attributed to a cause. Rank positions are shown only for months with verified results and do not imply stable standing.

What the November Rankings Show

These rankings answer several distinct questions. Reach asks how often a company appeared; recommendation asks whether an answer affirmatively endorsed it; placement asks where an endorsement sat within an answer; framing asks how the wording was classified. A company can be highly visible yet rarely endorsed, or endorsed often on a smaller base. None of these measures describes customers, sales or company quality, and the monthly comparisons record change without explaining it.

Methodology

Questions This Section Answers

• How were the November 2026 Stock Tips AI visibility measures counted, and what do they not establish?

This benchmark has partial coverage: 3 of 3 planned question categories contributed usable observations; 0 contributed none. This describes question-category coverage, not demonstrated platform outages. Findings apply to the available answer set.

The month in the title is the reporting period. The exact dates when the original AI answers were collected have not been verified.

Each company is counted at most once in each answer that meets the benchmark rules. A recommendation requires both an affirmative endorsement and positive wording. Mention, recommendation, Top 3 and first-place rates use the full benchmark answer total. Top 3 and first-place results are included within recommendations, not added to them.

The recommendation-to-mention ratio divides recommendations by mentions. It describes AI answer wording, not customer conversion. Net framing is positive minus negative mentions, divided by all mentions, on a scale from -1 to +1. It does not measure customer satisfaction or company quality.

Market: US; 10 tracked companies. AI services represented: ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity.

Research screening totals (answer observations can include repeated questions):

The source does not provide a reader-facing definition of “reserved”; that screening label is reported without inferring a reason for exclusion. Only the included benchmark answers form the rate denominator.

One answer can mention or recommend several companies. Adding company totals would therefore count some answers more than once. The results describe the AI answers reviewed, not independently verified facts about the companies or their products.

Monthly sample coverage:

July 2026 measured a different set of companies, so it is excluded from this comparison. August 2026 measured a different set of companies, so it is excluded from this comparison.

The answer samples differ between months. These comparisons show how the recorded results changed; they do not establish why they changed.

The benchmark covers a partial set of question categories and the reviewed AI answers, not verified facts about the companies. Each company counts at most once per qualifying answer, and recommendation requires both affirmative endorsement and positive wording. Top-three and first-place results are contained within recommendations. Rates use the full included-answer total, while the recommendation-to-mention ratio describes answer wording rather than conversion. Monthly samples differ, so comparisons show recorded change without establishing why it occurred.
