Boring Financials Point Way to Exciting Stock Gains!

Let’s be honest…

Most of us didn’t become accountants for a reason. That’s because no matter much you love picking stocks, your eyes probably glaze over when considering factors like:

  • Long Term Debt to Assets
  • Current Ratio
  • Free Cash Flow
  • Return on Assets
  • Inventory Change

Need I go on?

Yet buried in this haystack of financial data is the needle that points to serious outperformance. 

That is especially true during earnings season as companies with better financials…are more efficient operators…and much more likely to enjoy earnings beats and soaring share prices. 

That is why we have 26 different financial factors inside of the Zen Ratings model. 

That is the most factors analyzed of any aspect of a stock by our system. 

Meaning that healthy Financials are even more important than the factors for Growth or Value or Momentum etc. 

The best part…you don’t need to review them yourself. 

You just need to go to the quote pages on WallStreetZen.com to see how well the stocks stack up based on our exclusive Financials rating (focus on stocks scoring A or B in this vital category). 

And yes, while you are there make sure to investigate how well they rate for Growth, Value, Momentum, Safety, Sentiment and our proprietary AI factor that points to the most timely stocks. 

What to Do Next?
