Has anyone ever tried a portfolio made up of Zacks rank 1 stocks?

Zack's is absolutely terrible, that's my opinion.
Stock drops from $15 to $10 and they say strong sell at $10.
The same stock goes up to $20 a few weeks later and they say strong buy.
I've seen this happen in a very short time span, their ratings are all computer generated. One week they say strong sell, next week it's strong buy.
They're a joke.

Zacks strong buy picks and premium.
You need to have at least enough knowledge to be able to verify what you are seeing. And if you have that you probably don't need them. They make money from their fees no matter what happens. Why would they care. If they lose one customer they will put a little more money into the advertising budget next month and get 10 more. More on reddit.com

Zacks's 25% annually average return for 30 years.
i am going to guess it is based on unaudited results. also you don't know the timing of the "recommendations" lets say Stock X reported numbers after the close on 11/30 and it closed at $25. the numbers were great, and Zack issues a report that night with a buy, and they use the closing price of the stock as the entry point. The next day Stock X trades at $30. they take credit for $5 of appreciation, when no one could have purchased it after the close at $25 because of the earnings. this is a classic manipulation of the research recommends. separately, if they really had those numbers, look at the economics of money management/hedge funds. they would not be selling some newsletter More on reddit.com

Zacks Review: Should You Pay for Premium in 2026?

r/investing on Reddit: Zacks strong buy picks and premium.
May 4, 2023 -

So I recently decided to test zacks premium.

So far following their rank1 with vgm mostly A literally 11 out of 12 stocks are tanking and today hitting -10%. Asc, x and xrx. Others between -4 and -6%.

Strong buy in their opinion is for the next 1-3 months. So far it's going pretty shit.

I mean I understand not everything will work but 11 out of 12 is pretty freaking pathetic for a company that claim to know what they are doing enough to take money for the research they do.

What do you think about them?

Zacks has a lot of useful information, including some of their "strong buy" recs... BUT, many of their recommendations are flawed because they value momentum or performance from a few months or even a year ago. Performance last June does have some value in evaluating something, but performance last week is 100x more useful in evaluating how a stock will perform in current times. ASC is one of the shipping stocks that performed massively up till about March 1. Since then ASC have sucked mightily in a very volatile way, some huge days mixed with lots of garbage days. Zacks essentially seems slow updating their ratings. ASC was surely a strong buy in January and February. Now, no way. (It could still be a good buy, as a lot of people do think shipping stocks have a lot more legs, but I've sold and given up on them for the time being at least.) Similar case with X, strong buy in Jan-Feb, toxic waste since the beginning of March. Bottom line, Zacks can point you toward some interesting stocks, but you have to do more research, especially on recent performance. I prefer Seeking Alpha's quant ratings, but they too have the similar problem. They can't judge recent events that well.
