We are also active on earnings conference calls and will often attend investment conferences and company sponsored events.

Zacks SCR is a division of Zacks Investment Research (ZIR). ZIR is our parent company and also the parent company of Zacks.com. Zacks.com. has a stock rating service called the Zacks Rank. The Zacks Rank is a proprietary quantitative model that uses trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises to proportionally classify stocks into five groups: #1 = Strong Buy #2 = Buy #3 = Hold #4 = Sell #5 = Strong Sell. The Zacks Ranks is determined by Zacks Rank Analysis software and has been back-tested using over two decades of financial data. Zacks Rank is a very good predictor of both positive and negative earnings surprises.Zacks SCR valuations are 100% fundamental research driven evaluations of the company based on all available information, including fundamental market analysis using techniques such as SWOT and financial statement analysis.

We at Zacks SCR would like investors to know that while the Zacks Rank is an important quant-driven trading tool, it is not fundamental stock research and investors looking for quality equity research analysis can rely on the Zacks SCR valuations found on this website..
