Zacks Rank System: A Proven Approach to Stock Selection
Introduction
Here at Zacks, we pride ourselves on our rigorous and data-driven approach to stock selection. Our primary focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which places a strong emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions to identify winning stocks. While this system has been incredibly successful for our clients, we also keep a keen eye on the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to further enhance our stock picks.
The Zacks Rank System
The Zacks Rank system is a proprietary stock-rating model that utilizes earnings estimates to predict stock performance. The system ranks stocks on a scale from 1 to 5, with 1 being the strongest and 5 being the weakest. Stocks with a Zacks Rank of 1 are expected to outperform the market, while those with a rank of 5 are expected to underperform.
What sets the Zacks Rank system apart is its focus on earnings estimates and estimate revisions. Our research has shown that stocks with positive earnings surprises tend to outperform the market, while stocks with negative surprises typically underperform. By incorporating these factors into our ranking system, we are able to identify high-potential stocks before the broader market catches on.
Value, Growth, and Momentum Trends
While the Zacks Rank system is our primary tool for stock selection, we also pay close attention to value, growth, and momentum trends in the market. Value stocks are those that are undervalued relative to their fundamentals, while growth stocks are those with above-average earnings growth potential. Momentum stocks, on the other hand, are those that have been outperforming the market in the short term.
By considering these additional factors, we are able to further refine our stock picks and identify opportunities that may not be captured by the Zacks Rank system alone. This comprehensive approach allows us to build a diversified portfolio of strong picks that have the potential to deliver above-average returns for our clients.
