• However, AbbVie is no slouch when it comes to Financials and Artificial Intelligence either. In terms of the former, it ranks in the top 11% — in terms of the latter, in the top 10%. To distill those numbers into words, the company boasts quite a strong balance sheet, and the findings of a neural network trained on more than two decades of market data suggest ABBV shares are likely to outperform going forward.

4- Kinross Gold (NYSE: KGC) 

Gold is currently in an incredibly strong bull run — and beyond its traditional role as a store of value and a hedge against inflation, it has also become quite the appealing speculative investment.

Why we’re watching:

• Kinross Gold is our Stock of the Week. Steve Reitmeister, our Editor-in-Chief, detailed his rationale in a Tuesday article.
• We strongly suggest have a look at the article itself — but we’ll also summarize some key points here
• For one, KGC is the best-performing stock in Steve’s 16-stock strong Zen Investor portfolio on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, having secured a gain of 52% thus far.
• Present macroeconomic conditions and trade disputes (read tariffs) provide a bevy of tailwinds for gold — and gold miners tend to outperform the commodity itself.

• KGC shares carry an overall Zen Rating of A, and rank in the top 3% of equities based on a holistic analysis of 115 factors that correlate with outsized returns.
