Given the prevailing market uncertainty, you may want to look at our feats to prepare better for your next action.\nHere are some of our key achievements:\nJD.com and Banco Comercial Português Surge Following Zacks Rank Upgrade\nShares of JD.com, Inc. JD have surged 48% (versus the S&P 500’s 4.2% increase) since it was upgraded to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) on August 22.\nAnother stock, Banco Comercial Português, S.A. BPCGY, was upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) on August 21 and has returned 17.3% (versus the S&P 500’s 4.6% increase) since then.\nZacks Rank, our short-term rating system, has earnings estimate revisions at its core. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. \nA hypothetical portfolio of Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks returned +20.63% in the year-to-date period through April 1st, 2024, vs. +11.3% for the S&P 500 index and +7.7% for the equal-weight S&P 500 index. This hypothetical portfolio returned +20.63% in 2023 vs. +24.83% for the S&P 500 index and +15% for the equal-weight S&P 500 index. The portfolio of Zacks Rank #1 stocks is an equal-weight portfolio, while the S&P 500 index is a market-cap-weighted index that has been notably distorted by the concentrated performance of mega-cap stocks since October 2022.\nThe Zacks Model Portfolio - consisting of Zacks Rank #1 stocks – has outperformed the S&P index by more than 16 percentage points since 1988 (Through April 1st, 2024, the Zacks # 1 Rank stocks generated an annualized return of +27.6% since 1988 vs. +11.1% for the S&P 500 index).You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks Rank #1 stocks here >>>\nCheck JD.com’s historical EPS and Sales here>>>\nCheck Banco Comercial’s historical EPS and Sales here>>>\nImage Source: Zacks Investment Research\nZacks Recommendation Upgrades Sezzle and Idaho Strategic Higher \nShares of Sezzle Inc. SEZL and Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc. IDR have advanced 76.2% (versus the S&P 500’s 3.9% rise) and 52% (versus the S&P 500’s 4.2% rise) since their Zacks Recommendation was upgraded to Outperform on August 26 and August 27, respectively.\nWhile the Zacks Rank is our short-term rating system that is most effective over the one- to three-month holding horizon, the Zacks Recommendation aims to predict performance over the next 6 to 12 months. However, just like the Zacks Rank, the foundation for the Zacks Recommendation is trends in earnings estimate revisions.\nThe Zacks Recommendation classifies stocks into three groups — Outperform, Neutral and Underperform. While these recommendations are determined quantitatively, our analysts have the flexibility to override them for the 1100+ stocks they closely follow based on their better judgment of factors such as valuation, industry conditions and management effectiveness than the quantitative model.\nTo access our research reports with Zacks Recommendations for the 1100+ stocks we cover, click here>>>\nZacks Focus List Stocks Sea Limited, Axon Shoot Up\nShares of Sea Limited SE, which belongs to the Zacks Focus List, have gained 51.4% over the past 12 weeks.

In 2022, the portfolio produced -15.2% vs. the S&P 500 index’s -17.96%.\nSince 2004, the Focus List portfolio has produced an annualized return of +11.91% (through March 31st, 2024).

FI, a component of our Earnings Certain Admiral Portfolio (ECAP), has jumped 23.4% over the past 12 weeks. The Clorox Company CLX has followed Fiserv with 20.3% returns.  \nThe Zacks Earnings Certain Admiral Portfolio (ECAP), which consists of 30 concentrated, ultra-defensive, long-term Buy-and-Hold stocks, returned +9.08% in the year-to-date period (through March 31st, 2024) vs. +10.42%. In 2023, the portfolio returned +12.17% vs. +26.28% for the S&P 500 index.

Another ECDP stock, Automatic Data Processing, Inc. ADP, has climbed 15.7% over the same time frame. Of course, the inclination of investors toward quality dividend stocks to secure an income stream amid heightened market volatility contributed to this performance.\nCheck McDonald’s dividend history here>>>\nCheck Automatic Data’s dividend history here>>>\nWith an extremely low Beta and a history of minimum earnings variability over the last 20+ years, this 25-stock portfolio helps significantly mitigate risk.\nThe Zacks Earnings Certain Dividend Portfolio (ECDP) returned +4.47% in the year-to-date period (through March 31st, 2024) vs. +10.42% for the S&P 500 index (IVV) and +6.9% for the Dividend Aristocrats ETF (NOBL).\nThe portfolio returned -0.9% in 2023 vs. +26.28% for the S&P 500 index and +8.11% for NOBL.
