Zacks Style Scores

As you know, the Zacks Rank is one of the most successful stock rating systems out there, with the Zacks Rank #1 Strong Buys producing an unmatched, +23.68% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500.

Zacks is much more quantitative in nature, while Morningstar uses fundamental analysis as a larger part of its recommendations. Morningstar appears to base its recommendations on an unbiased scale, while the Zacks Investment Research rating system is based solely on giving its members the most potential for profit.

Whether Zacks Ultimate will be worth it to you is largely dependent on how much money you have invested or are willing to invest, as you essentially need to earn an additional $3,000 every year if you want to turn a profit. It's a matter of economies of scale.
