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 +24.93% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through January 4, 2021. 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.

Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Sucampo beat estimates for both earnings and sales in the third quarter and raised its 2017 sales and profit outlook. The company is focused on expanding Amitiza’s label and penetrating new markets. A sNDA for label expansion in pediatric functional constipation is under review. Also, Sucampo’s collaborations with firms like Takeda and Mylan for Amitiza’s commercialization is a big positive. Moreover, the Vtesse acquisition added a pivotal program in Niemann-Pick Disease type C1 to its pipeline. However, dependence of Sucampo on Amitiza for growth is concerning with few companies trying to market and sell generic version of Amitiza. A decline in Amitiza's sales will adversely impact the top line. Moreover, Sucampo will not proceed with Amitzia’s sprinkle formulation for adults as it did not meet bioequivalence with capsule formulation. Shares of the company have underperformed the industry.
