About Stockyard
Built by an investor who’s been through four crashes.
Stockyard is an AI-powered systematic investing platform that checks your investing rules against 5,000+ stocks every day for individual investors and investment clubs. You set the rules once. Stockyard watches every earnings report and every price move, and tells you when something needs your attention.
The team behind Stockyard
Ravi Gorur, Founder
Ravi is an electrical engineer who has spent more than 40 years in technology startups, as a founder or executive at several companies. He’s also been an individual investor through four major market crashes, and he built Stockyard to fix the mistakes he watched himself and other investors make in every one of them.
Why Stockyard exists
In every crash, the damage came from the same place: decisions made on headlines and fear instead of fundamentals. Stockyard is the tool Ravi wanted through all four: one that holds your rules steady, checks them every day, and doesn’t react to the news.
A small, founder-led team
Stockyard is bootstrapped and built by a small team led by Ravi Gorur. No outside investors means we answer to the people who use the product, and the person who built it is the person who reads your support email.
What Stockyard does
Stockyard is built around Smartfolios: rules-based investing strategies that Stockyard’s AI re-checks every day against new earnings, SEC filings, fundamentals and price moves across 5,000+ US-listed stocks. Start with a prebuilt Smartfolio or build and backtest your own, then let it watch the market for you. Investment clubs get shared tools to invest together. See how it works →
What makes Stockyard different
Your strategies, automated and enforced every day
Smartfolios automate your stock fundamental and technical rules each trading day. Stock selection, buy and sell decisions follow your rules, not the headlines. Smartfolios support growth, value, thematic or purely technical trading strategies. You get the alert; you make the trade.
AI that reads the filings
Stockyard reads 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filings for forward-looking signals, such as changes in company guidance, before they show up in the numbers.
Sectors defined by revenue, not labels
Stockyard’s own classification of 60 sector families groups companies by where their revenue actually comes from, so every stock is compared with its real peers. Easily discover pure-play companies in specific sectors or build thematic Smartfolio strategies based on sectors, revenue contribution, fundamentals and technicals.
Ranked against the market and against real peers
Every stock gets a percentile rank against the S&P 500 and against its sector peers, tracked over eight quarters. You see whether a company is improving or fading, not just where it stands today.
Test your strategy ideas before you trust
Test your smartfolios in seconds using Stockyard’s historical database. Quickly explore different strategies by changing fundamental, technical, and sector settings. Smartfolios report detailed analytics on historical trades.
Built for investment clubs
Shared leaderboards, strategy-diversity tracking and 25% off for clubs of two or more. Stockyard complements BetterInvesting’s Stock Selection Guide.
