The Zacks Focus List is a portfolio of 50 stocks that are set to outperform the market over the next 12 months. The stock selection criteria reflect our enduing reliance on earnings estimate revisions. Each of the new additions to the portfolio is hand picked from a long list of stocks that have a Zacks recommendation of Outperform and a Zacks Rank of 1 or 2. Given the best-in-class earnings momentum of stocks with these attributes, we keep them on the portfolio even as their Zacks recommendation moves to Neutral and the Zacks Rank to 3.

This Top Stocks portfolio is updated once a week and each selection is accompanied by a full Zacks Analyst Report. The portfolio is expected to serve as a starting point for long-term investors to build their individual portfolios. To that end, this diversified portfolio can be sorted by toggling the column headers. The Zacks Analyst Report explains the reasons behind the current recommendation on the stock. Investors with shorter time horizons should focus on the Zacks #1 List of stocks for building their portfolios.
