Style Scores:

The Style Scores are a complementary set of indicators to use alongside the Zacks Rank. It allows the user to better focus on the stocks that are the best fit for his or her personal trading style.

The scores are based on the trading styles of Value, Growth, and Momentum. There's also a VGM Score ('V' for Value, 'G' for Growth and 'M' for Momentum), which combines the weighted average of the individual style scores into one score.

Value Score A
Growth Score A
Momentum Score A
VGM Score A

Within each Score, stocks are graded into five groups: A, B, C, D and F. As you might remember from your school days, an A, is better than a B; a B is better than a C; a C is better than a D; and a D is better than an F.

As an investor, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. That means you want to buy stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2, Strong Buy or Buy, which also has a Score of an A or a B in your personal trading style.

Industry Rank:

The Zacks Industry Rank assigns a rating to each of the 265 X (Expanded) Industries based on their average Zacks Rank.

An industry with a larger percentage of Zacks Rank #1's and #2's will have a better average Zacks Rank than one with a larger percentage of Zacks Rank #4's and #5's.

The industry with the best average Zacks Rank would be considered the top industry (1 out of 265), which would place it in the top 1% of Zacks Ranked Industries. The industry with the worst average Zacks Rank (265 out of 265) would place in the bottom 1%.

Earnings ESP

Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) looks to find companies that have recently seen positive earnings estimate revision activity. The idea is that more recent information is, generally speaking, more accurate and can be a better predictor of the future, which can give investors an advantage in earnings season.

The technique has proven to be very useful for finding positive surprises. In fact, when combining a Zacks Rank #3 or better and a positive Earnings ESP, stocks produced a positive surprise 70% of the time, while they also saw 28.3% annual returns on average, according to our 10 year backtest.

Agreement - Estimate Revisions

The Zacks Rank is comprised of four factors: Agreement, Magnitude, Upside and Surprise.

Agreement is the extent to which all earnings estimates are being revised in the same direction. The greater the percentage of estimates moving higher, the better the score will be for this component.

For example: if there are 10 estimate revisions for a given period, and all were up, that would be a 100% positive agreement on the direction of estimate revisions. If 7 were up and 3 were down, that would be a 70% positive agreement. If 7 were down however, with only 3 being up, that would be a 70% negative agreement of the direction of estimate revisions.

The higher the percentage of upward revisions, the better.

Magnitude - Consensus Estimate Trend

The Zacks Rank is comprised of four factors: Agreement, Magnitude, Upside and Surprise.

Magnitude is the size of the recent change in the current consensus estimate for the fiscal year and next fiscal year over the last 60 days.

By taking the current earnings estimate and dividing it by the estimate from 60 days ago, you can see what percentage the estimates have changed. For example: if the current estimate is $1.10 and the estimate from 60 days ago was $1.00; that would mean positive 10% increase in the estimate revision.

The larger the percentage increase in estimate revisions, the better.

90 Days Ago 1.13 2.13 4.88 5.21

Upside - Most Accurate Estimate Versus Zacks Consensus

The Zacks Rank is comprised of four factors: Agreement, Magnitude, Upside and Surprise.

Upside is the percentage difference between the most accurate estimate and the consensus estimate.

By dividing the most accurate estimate (as calculated by Zacks) by the consensus estimate, you can see the difference between the two. A positive difference is obviously better than a negative one.

We've quantified the difference between the two estimates with our Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction). Simply put, stocks with a Zacks Rank of 1, 2, or 3, with a positive ESP were shown to positively surprise 70% of the time.

Surprise - Reported Earnings History

The Zacks Rank is comprised of four factors: Agreement, Magnitude, Upside and Surprise.

The Surprise factor looks at the last few quarters of earnings surprises.

Companies with a positive earnings surprise are more likely to positively surprise in the future (or miss again if they recently missed).

For this reason, looking at a company's recent surprise history can be a great aid in forecasting the surprise likelihood of their next outing.
