After 8 years of analysis, backtesting, trial and error, Zacks researchers discovered a breakthrough: a method for detecting positive earnings surprises before they're reported with an unprecedented degree of certainty.
This system, in effect, removes "Positive Earnings Surprise" from the investment vocabulary. Because if you could know when a company will report earnings greater than analyst estimates, it wouldn't be a surprise at all.
Since June 2014, this method has correctly predicted earnings beats with unthinkable 80% accuracy.
The Surprise Trader portfolio allows investors to jump on these stocks before Wall Street can react to the positive surprises and drive up the prices.

This service applies the timely predictive power of the Zacks Rank to buy and sell decisions. From January 1, 1988 to November 4, 2024 this proven system has more than doubled the S&P 500. The average gain has been +24.1% per year.
Maybe +24.1% per year doesn't sound thrilling, but let's suppose you had invested $10,000 in the S&P 500 in 1988. You would have more than $530,000 today.
But if you had put that same $10,000 into the Zacks Rank system, with rebalancing at each period and not counting fees, it could have compounded to more than $29.8 million dollars.
The research breakthrough that powers Surprise Trader was accomplished by combining quantitative Zacks Rank data with two little-used metrics that detect only the most accurate earnings whispers.

Zacks short-term strategy expert David Bartosiak applies a proven formula that accurately identifies which companies are most likely to beat estimates and pop in price. This gives members the ability to buy stocks before the buying rushes that are likely to follow the announcement of the beat.
While not all picks can be winners, Surprise Trader was designed to identify those with the highest probability of success. That's how this portfolio has recently closed gains of¹:
