Zacks: Where Technology Meets Wall Street
Here at Zacks, we’re all about blending technology with the sometimes wild and unpredictable world of Wall Street. But don’t let that intimidate you! Think of us as your friendly, quirky, and ever-knowledgeable tour guide through the stock market jungle.
The Zacks Rank: Our Signature Move
Our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system. You might be wondering what on earth that is, right? Well, let us explain in a way that’s as simple as pie (and just as delicious!).
The Zacks Rank is all about earnings estimates and estimate revisions. You see, companies report their earnings quarterly, and the analysts who follow them make predictions about what those earnings will be. The Zacks Rank uses this information to identify stocks that are likely to outperform the market based on the trend of these earnings estimates.
Value, Growth, and Momentum: The Trifecta of Success
But we don’t just stop at the Zacks Rank! We’re always keeping an eye on the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks. Let’s break it down:
- Value: We believe that a stock’s price should reflect its intrinsic value. If a stock is trading below its intrinsic value, it’s considered a value stock. Our value screen helps us identify these gems.
- Growth: Companies that can grow their earnings faster than their peers are worth investing in. Our growth screen helps us find these high-growth stocks.
- Momentum: The trend is your friend, as they say! Our momentum screen helps us identify stocks that are outperforming their peers and riding the wave of positive sentiment.
How It Affects You
So, what does all this mean for you? By using the Zacks Rank and our other screens, we can help you make informed decisions about which stocks to invest in. Think of it as having a personal stock picking assistant! And the best part? It’s all backed by our proven methodology.
How It Affects the World
But the impact of our work doesn’t stop at the individual investor level. By providing accurate and timely information about stocks, we’re helping to fuel the global economy. Investors make decisions based on the information we provide, and those decisions can lead to increased investment in companies, which can lead to job growth, innovation, and economic progress.
