How have Mixed-graded names performed?
The forward returns of all Mixed-graded names since each grade was recorded — the bucket this name currently sits in, not a forecast of this individual stock.
| Window | Forward record vs the S&P | Median |
|---|---|---|
| ~1 month | 53% of Mixed-graded names beat the S&P over 21 sessions (95% CI 31–74%, N=17). | Median excess vs the S&P was 0%. |
| ~3 months | building — 13 more sessions needed | |
| ~6 months | building — 76 more sessions needed | |
Scope: these are forward returns vs the S&P among names still covered at each horizon's end, within the curated universe — not a survivorship-clean whole-market backtest. Names later dropped from coverage are counted as attrition (not hidden), and single-session moves beyond ±300% are treated as split/data artifacts and excluded.

AI take — daily, AI-generated

Corteva shows better margins (48.5%) and efficiency (0.21 GP/A) than peers, but UBS's neutral stance and price-target cut signal caution despite 100% bullish chatter; wait for stabilization.
