Today’s Bull of the Day is a stock that has seen recent earnings estimates from analysts coming in positively. That’s what most people don’t get about Zacks. We don’t create our own ratings. Rather, we take into account what analysts around the globe are doing. By analyzing what the analysts around Wall Street are doing, we gain an advantage. If the overall trend in estimates is increasingly bullish, then we put that stock in the good graces of the Zacks Rank. If it’s not, then it falls onto the other side of the equation. Either way, it’s not about how Zacks feels, it’s about what’s happening on the street.
