(Zacks Investment Research Review in 2022)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Zacks Investment Research was founded in 1978 by MIT researcher Len Zacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After spending years analyzing stocks, Len made an observation: <em>earnings estimate revisions may be the most powerful force impacting stock prices<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This discovery led to the Zacks Rank system which expanded into an independent and quantitatively-driven stock research company. Zacks goal is to arm individual investors with reliable investment research so they can reach their investing goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company offers a variety of services, but its flagship product is Zacks Premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Key Features of Zacks Premium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A subscription to Zacks Premium unlocks access to Zacks Ranks (including Zacks #1 Rank List), Equity Research Reports, Focus List, Premium screens, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zacks Premium will help you identify which stocks to buy and sell with powerful tools to cut through the noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Zacks Rank System<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Zacks Rank is a stock-rating system based on analyst earnings estimate revisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Zacks tracks around 3,000 analysts and over 200,000 earnings estimates, waiting for positive or negative revisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the theory: Positive revisions are bullish, negative revisions are bearish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An analyst believes a stock is worth 25 times next year\u2019s earnings (P\/E of 25x) and has an earnings estimate of $1.00 per share. This would imply the stock\u2019s fair value is $25 per share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the analyst changes his forecast to $1.25 in EPS, the fair value would then be $31.25 per share (25x P\/E x $1.25 est. EPS = $31.25).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When earnings estimates are increasing, the stock price should increase as well &#8211; this is the Zacks Rank system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zacks Rank harnesses the power of daily earnings estimate revisions by aggregating the current revision data and classifying the underlying stocks into 5 groups ranging from \u201cStrong Buy\u201d to \u201cStrong Sell\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the Zacks Rank system worked, we should expect to see outperformance of Zacks Rank #1 \u201cStrong Buy\u201d stocks and underperformance of Zacks Rank #5 \u201cStrong Sell\u201d stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Zacks Rank Performance<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s exactly what we see:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-15-at-12.22.57-PM.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"392\" height=\"319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-15-at-12.22.57-PM.png\" alt=\"Zacks Rank vs S&amp;P 500\" class=\"wp-image-581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-15-at-12.22.57-PM.png 392w, https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screen-Shot-2022-06-15-at-12.22.57-PM-300x244.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>And when you compound those annual returns over time, you get a chart that looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-24-at-10.42.57-AM.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"375\" height=\"321\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-24-at-10.42.57-AM.png\" alt=\"Zacks Rank review\" class=\"wp-image-1809\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>My Zacks Rank review is this: It works.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div id=\"callout-box-block_31b9336132fb172ff044b725311e3b4d\" class=\"callout-box info\">\n        <div class=\"callout-box__icon-wrapper\">\n            <svg focusable=\"false\" class=\"callout-box__icon info\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                <path d=\"M12 3c-.46 0-.93.04-1.4.14-2.76.53-4.96 2.76-5.48 5.52-.48 2.61.48 5.01 2.22 6.56.43.38.66.91.66 1.47V19c0 1.1.9 2 2 2h.28c.35.6.98 1 1.72 1s1.38-.4 1.72-1H14c1.1 0 2-.9 2-2v-2.31c0-.55.22-1.09.64-1.46C18.09 13.95 19 12.08 19 10c0-3.87-3.13-7-7-7zm2 16h-4v-1h4v1zm0-2h-4v-1h4v1zm-1.5-5.59V14h-1v-2.59L9.67 9.59l.71-.71L12 10.5l1.62-1.62.71.71-1.83 1.82z\"><\/path>            <\/svg>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"callout-box__content\"><p>Get this and more with Seeking Alpha Premium.
