At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +23.68% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through August 5, 2024. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations. Zacks may license the Zacks Mutual Fund rating provided herein to third parties, including but not limited to the issuer.

Apple Reports Big Earnings Beat, Plus EA and Arconic
Apple Inc. (AAPL - Free Report) put an old-school beat-down on Q1 2017 estimates from the Zacks consensus: $3.36 per share on sales of $78.4 billion easily topped the #3.22 per share and $76.93 billion expected. iPhone sales totaled 78.3 million in the quarter, ahead of the 77.3 million in the company's unit guidance. Gross margins came in-line with expectations at 38.5%.
Importantly, the company has finally ended its string of decreasing revenue and unit growth. Apple clearly benefited in the quarter from difficulties Samsung had with its Note 7 release, and Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that iPhone sales picked up more Android switchers than ever before. iPad sales were shy of projections where Mac sales came roughly in-line.

Electronic Arts (EA - Free Report) posted a relatively confusing Q1 earnings report on the bottom line, as changes to the company's earnings accounting have made it difficult to make an apples-to-apples comparison. Revenues of $2.07 billion beat the Zacks consensus estimate of $2.06 billion. The after-market has been trying to sort these difficulties, first trading down 1% on the news, whereas the stock has now swung into positive territory in the late session.
The debut earnings report for Arconic since the split from Alcoa (AA - Free Report) was positive, if unspectacular. Earnings of 12 cents per share on quarterly sales of$2.97 billion beat the Zacks consensus estimates of 11 cents and $2.92 billion in revenues. Margin expansion was evident in all of Arconic's sectors. Revenue guidance for full-year 2017 was in-line, while for Q1 guidance was a little light.
