Sure they do, lots of people beat the market and make more money than the market. Lots of people claim to predict and do better, there are services that measure it: https://www.tipranks.com/analysts/top

You can see all their track records based on completely public information. Every scraped article and piece advice is public and the methods are published in https://www.johnson.cornell.edu/Entrepreneurship-and-Innovat...
