At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +22.98% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through April 7, 2025. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations. Zacks may license the Zacks Mutual Fund rating provided herein to third parties, including but not limited to the issuer.

Bear of the Day: CleanSpark (CLSK)
CleanSpark ((CLSK - Free Report) ) is a $4 billion technology enterprise that call's itself "America's Bitcoin Miner."
I ran a year-to-date look at CLSK shares vs some other prominent miners. While CLSK is up nearly 20%, the big dog Marathon Digital ((MARA - Free Report) ) is flat for the year, despite their big Bitcoin acquisitions.
Meanwhile Iris Energy ((IREN - Free Report) ) is up over 90% while Riot Platforms ((RIOT - Free Report) ) is down over 20%.
Here's how CleanSpark describes their mission...
CleanSpark responsibly develops infrastructure for Bitcoin, an essential tool for financial independence and inclusion. We strive to leave the planet better than we found it by investing in communities that we operate in. Bitcoin is a watershed moment, not only in the history and invention of money, but in how we relate to each other.
Why CleanSpark is a Zacks #5 Rank
CLSK topline growth looks strong, with a projected jump this fiscal year (ends September) to $637 million for a 68% advance.
The problem is that the same analysts took down EPS estimates for the same period from +12 cents to -30 cents in the past two months.
I don't know all the details of why they made that move. But considering how revolutionary the Bitcoin mining business is becoming, there is definitely some re-modeling that Wall Street analysts must do with their revenue and profit projections.
The "spreadsheet jockeys" who also had to drop coverage of MicroStrategy ((MSTR - Free Report) ) because they couldn't figure it out, will be doing their homework over the coming quarters and finding their way back to Bitcoin-centric stocks.
