To see or compare the stocks similar to a stock of your choice, you can see it under the Peers tab, which is available on the main symbol page as shown below.
Peers/competitor is not a novel concept. Many investing platforms present peers based on industry or sector. But we do it differently, using two proprietary methods.
The first method is to list “People who follow this stock also follow”. It leverages the collective intelligence of millions of Seeking Alpha users by suggesting stocks owned by Seeking Alpha users who also own the stock in question.
The second method is to list “Articles that mention this stock also mention”. It leverages the collective intelligence of thousands of Seeking Alpha authors and suggests stocks that are normally compared against the stock in question.
The results are remarkable, and different than anything you’ll find anywhere else.
Here are some examples:
