VectorVest is a stock analysis and portfolio management system using its proprietary VST (Value, Safety, Timing) composite rating. This 2026 review covers the rating system, subscription pricing, practical utility, and how VectorVest compares to TC2000 and Trade Ideas.
Quick Verdict: 3.7/5
VectorVest provides a genuinely differentiated stock analysis approach for investors who want a systematic fundamental-plus-technical scoring system. The VST rating simplifies multi-factor analysis into a single actionable score. The cost ($69.95–$99.95/month) requires consistent use to justify.
The VST Rating System
VectorVest ranks every stock on three sub-ratings: Value (intrinsic value vs current price), Safety (financial health and risk), and Timing (price trend and momentum). Each sub-rating scored 0–2.0; stocks above 1.0 are rated "Buy" on that dimension. Covers 16,000+ US and international stocks with backtesting capability.
