MARKET BEATING RETURNS


Stock Advisor Has More Than Quadrupled the S&P 500 Over the Last 21 Years


Stock Advisor has outperformed the market by more than four times through rigorously combing every corner of every industry for overlooked companies we believe could be posed to shatter the market – often when these businesses are flying under Wall Street’s radar.

Is Motley Fool Stock Advisor worth it?

Yes, for most long-term investors: Stock Advisor has returned an average of +979%* since 2002, versus +214% for the S&P 500 over the same stretch. Each month, our analysts recommend two stocks to buy and hold for at least five years — the strategy is built for patient investors willing to own a diversified portfolio of 50+ picks, not for short-term traders chasing quick gains. If you're looking for day-trading signals or a service you can judge in a single quarter, this isn't the right fit. Here is what members say in their own words.

“What do you think your membership has been worth to you? Way more than whatever I paid. My membership has been worth way more than whatever I've paid in dollars. I wanted to say thank you to the Gardner brothers. It's changed my life and the lives of my kids.”
Luwana W. Motley Fool member
“Your Stock Advisor advice made a multimillionaire. I made my fortune in AMZN, NFLX, APPL, ATVI, and COST among others. I am retired now with a professionally managed portfolio--more heavily weighted in corporate bonds. Thank you isn't sufficient for the embarrassment of riches I have attained through your service.”
Bret B Stock Advisor member · 25+ years
“My dad invested in stocks and one day he said, Pat, you need to join the Motley Fool. And that was the best advice I ever had. And I would have to say, if I could go back to that day and I had to make a decision between several million dollars and joining the Motley Fool, hands down the best decision would have been to join the Motley Fool.”
Pat & Julie Y. Motley Fool members

*Returns as of 8/31/2026, including dividends. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
