The jobs numbers should provide a clearer picture of the underlying rate expectations from the Fed.\nRegardless of market conditions, we, here at Zacks, provide investors with unbiased guidance on how to beat the market. \nAs usual, Zacks Research guided investors over the past three months with its time-tested methodologies. 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:\nCoastal Financial and Carnival Surge Following Zacks Rank Upgrade\nShares of Coastal Financial Corporation CCB have gained 46.8% (versus the S&P 500’s 5.9% increase) since it was upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) on October 2.\nAnother stock, Carnival Corporation & plc CCL, which was upgraded to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) on October 2, has returned 41.1% 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 +14% in the year-to-date period through October 7th, 2024, vs. +22.2% for the S&P 500 index and +12.4% for the equal-weight version of the S&P 500 index.\nThis 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.\nThe 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 late 2022.\nThe Zacks Model Portfolio - consisting of Zacks Rank #1 stocks – has outperformed the S&P index by almost 13 percentage points since 1988 (Through October 7th, 2024, the Zacks # 1 Rank stocks generated an annualized average return of +24.1% since 1988 vs. +11.2% for the S&P 500 index).\nYou can see the complete list of today’s Zacks Rank #1 stocks here >>>\nCheck Coastal Financial’s historical EPS and Sales here>>>\nCheck Carnival’s historical EPS and Sales here>>>\nImage Source: Zacks Investment Research\nZacks Recommendation Upgrades Shopify and BellRing Brands\nShares of Shopify Inc. SHOP and BellRing Brands, Inc. BRBR have advanced 40.2% and 26.3% (versus the S&P 500’s 5.1% rise), respectively, since their Zacks Recommendation was upgraded to Outperform on October 7.\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, Block Shoot Up\nShares of Sea Limited SE, which belongs to the Zacks Focus List, have gained 46.8% over the past 12 weeks.
