Len Zacks, the founder of Zacks Investment Research, was convinced there was value to be found in brokerage research. His efforts to uncover it led to a groundbreaking article that was published in the Financial Analysts Journal. This article proved:

Earnings estimate revisions are the most powerful force driving stock prices

Once you discover the power of earning estimate revisions, it's nearly impossible to buy or sell a stock without first analyzing the trend in earning estimates. And Zacks.com is the preeminent source for earnings estimate data.

Our redesigned Estimates page gives you everything you need to fully analyze estimate revisions including an overview of projected growth rates, the Zacks Rank, Zacks Equity Research, Estimate Analysis and Estimates by Analyst.

The Outlook for the Company
Analyzing the estimates starts with understanding what a company is expected to earn and what its projected growth rate is. Zacks provides detailed earnings estimates for approximately 4400 companies.

Knowing what a company is expected to earn isn't enough, however. To gain an advantage over the market, you have to analyze the trends in the earnings estimates.

Earnings Estimate Analysis
The Estimates page at Zacks.com breaks down earnings estimates into four critical factors: Agreement, Magnitude, Upside and Surprise. When all four factors suggest bullishness, the outlook for the stock is usually bright. This critical information is available only from Zacks!

Professional Analysis
Zacks Premium subscribers have access to professional tools that will further help them make money. This information includes the Zacks Rank, the long-term Zacks Equity Research recommendation, Target Price and Rank in Industry.

Zacks Premium subscribers can also go behind the consensus numbers and see what each individual analyst is thinking. This information shows you how much analysts are really in agreement and how bullish (or bearish) each revision to estimates really is. Before now, only institutional investors had access to this valuable information.

Unleash the Power of the Earnings Estimates Revisions
The best way to take advantage of the power of Earnings Estimate Revisions is through the Zacks Rank. Since 1988, Zacks #1 Rank stocks have generated an annualized return of 30%. Go to Zacks Rank home page.
