From the business
Zacks Investment Research is one of the largest providers of independent stock, ETF and mutual fund research in the U.S. The performance of our stock research recommendations has consistently ranked among the top research firms in the U.S. by independent evaluators of equity research. This research anchors our active trading services, long-term investor services, and powerful resources and tools.
At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. In fact, helping investors find success has been the life's work of our Founder and CEO, who in 1978 armed with his PhD from MIT, hit upon a key discovery:
Earnings estimate revisions are the most powerful force impacting stock prices.
This crucial finding led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system that harnesses the power of earnings estimates. Since 1988, the private Zacks #1 Rank List has more than doubled the S&P 500.

Zacks Ultimate Commentary keeps me most updated on thoughts from your editors. I find this very useful since things change daily. I have had more successes than failures. That's the name of the game and keeps me coming back.
The Portfolio Additions and Deletions feature in Zacks Investor Collection suggests which Zacks picks are timely, or no longer expected to go up. Zacks Investor Collection is a good source of information and idea generation."
I have been interested in share dealings for quite a few years but have been with Zacks only a short time, since July 2020 actually. I started reading about how to go about finding your preferred trading strategy but being a very impatient man i did not go through it all. I subscribed for the newsletters and decided to work on the recommendations therein. I have found them to be absolutely fantastic. It is not possible to invest in everything so i chose those that I like best. To date this has turned out fantastically well. I have tried banks' wealth management and private fund managers but was never satisfied. In a few short months I've had a 29% increase in my portfolio. No one has ever given me this return. Thank you Zacks
"Zacks Method for Trading Home Study Course is easy to learn. With your own kind of modified trading ideas, I believe this is a good tool if you like smarter trading and being able to penetrate so many more sectors and stocks than you would otherwise. "
Zacks Ultimate has been a great help in our retirement. The choices of portfolios make it much easier to diversify risk. If you are an individual stock investor, there is no better place to be than with Zacks."
You have to check everyday and do your plan take info look for number 1 VGM stocks to buy
Im already $12,000 in gains the past 2 months with $80,000 account
Wished I checked around before making the payment. ZACKS Investment Research is a dishonest website. I paid for an online course and the userid and password they provided did not work and they did not send me the book that was supposed to come with the course! Tried so many times to contact them via emails to resolve the issues and there were no replies. However, I keep getting product emails from them but my genuine problem... totally ignored! Don't believe any $1 offer or any sort... once they take your money, it will be hard to get it back! Beware!
I recently joined and back tracked most of them and it seems like none of them meet the target price, also, when i called them they said don't trust the target price just forget about it, if it was real we all were not working here in stock market.
There is no simple way to unsubscribe. You literally have to call them after your 1$ trial. My question is if their so good at trading, and know so much about stocks, why are they stealing from you?
One they downgrade the stock and second they upgrade. It is happening most of the time.
Poor research..
There money back performance warranty is worthless. They refuse to awnser phone or emails once they have your money.The research wizard does not work.
Sgh stock downgraded after it fell... then zacks wrote some articles and downgraded to strong sell. Then the stock moved in 1 month 55% up and after this run they upgraded to buy. Completely like a fla in thr wind... shame on you
These guys are clueless. I hold a position in Pintrest in my 401k. On 6/18/19 Wedbush advised an "Outperform" for PINS. On 6/19/19 Zack's Upgraded from Sell to Hold. The next day, 6/20/19, Zack's Downgraded from Hold to Sell. Then they again reversed course the next day, 6/21/19, and Upgraded from Sell to Hold. SERIOUSLY? UP, DOWN, UP, DOWN... Monkeys throwing darts would be just as reliable. Avoid their ratings!
Nothing but bs from these guys
Think they know all and try to ignore your unsubscribe requests for a free trial.
Rip off stay away nothing but aggravation
I follow their analysis, I lost. Going against their analysis would have worked better. Stay away!
I signed up for a lifetime subscription to their nonsense many years ago. Within the first few months I started losing money and noticed some of the following comments with their sell recommendations:
- the bounce that I was hoping for did not happen
- my gut feel on this stock was not right
Their recommendation philosophy it seems like is based on hope and gut feel and it does not get any worse than that.
Since then, because I could not get rid of my lifetime subscription, I started watching their recommendations (and I get all of them as a lifetime member). This is purely for entertainment purposes. I can see that they have atleast 2 to 3 times more losing trades than winning trades and the losing trades lose by a much much higher percentage points than their winning trades.
I can't understand how these folks are allowed to stay in business and continue.
I honestly cannot recommend them to anyone.
They are guessing and are lucky when the market go up but $#*!ty when it goes down! A coin will guess better then they are!
Just like anything else online---------DONT SIGN UP!
I was curious about the service--signed up for $299--thougt it was for a year
Of course I have so many activites on my card did not Notise that it was $299 a month
Waht a RIP OFF--for waht stock picks
Lesson is---PAY ATTENTION--I DID NOT__ITS MY FAULT
ONLINE IS A RIP OFF!
They are guessing as any one else could with no knowledge and no experience in the stock market. They are great when the market is going up and suck when it is going down. They have no credibility and I lost a lot of money betting on their so called #1 stock picks. Do as Warren Buffet reccomends and put your money in the S&P 500 and forget about it. This company is bogus. They just want your money.
Yes they will start charging you immediately even though they said they don't do that. These guys are just a bunch of scammers. And they send a lot of junk mails too along the way so you wouldn't realize that they actually charging you for those sh"ts. I don't know how the regulators haven't shut them down. Worst bunch of pseudo-newsletter ever. Stay away from them. I still have an outstanding issue with them as they owe me a full refund for those unlawful, unauthorized subscriptions.
