Must-See: This Year's Top 10 Stocks

	A Proven Track Record of Outperformance Zacks Member, I want to make sure you've heard the exciting news – Zacks Top 10 Stocks for 2025 will be released this coming Thursday. In my opinion, there's no better way to position your portfolio for outperformance in the new year. At Zacks we try not to take our Director of Research Sheraz Mian for granted, but his stock-picking acumen is astonishing. If you had invested in the S&P 500 at the beginning of 2024, you'd have gained +28.1%. But if you put your money into the Zacks Top 10 Stocks for 2024, your gain would have been a whopping +71.9%.¹ In fact, since he took personal charge of our Top 10 portfolios back in 2012, they have more than QUADRUPLED the market. While the S&P 500 gained +475.6%, Zacks Top 10 Stocks skyrocketed +2,112.6%.¹ How does he find these powerful picks to buy and hold for the year? Sheraz handpicks each from the Zacks universe of more than 4,000 stocks according to a rigorous selection process, which starts with the Zacks Rank and its average annual gain of +24.4% per year since 1988. Overall, these 10 picks are strong, successful businesses, not just companies with potential. In addition to the list of stocks, you also get the information you need to stay up to date, including an in-depth research report on each stock and detailed update reports, always available on the Zacks Top 10 Stocks homepage. Act now and be among the first wave of investors to see this coveted list of 10 handpicked stocks when it's released at 11:00 a.m. ET on Thursday, January 2. ▶ Be First to the Stocks All the Best, Kevin Matras, EVP

The Zacks #1 Rank Performance covers the period beginning on January 1, 1988 through December 2, 2024. The performance is the equal weighted performance of a hypothetical portfolio consisting of stocks with a Zacks Rank of #1 that was rebalanced monthly from January 1988 through December 2013 and weekly from 12/31/13 through Monday's open on December 2, 2024. For each stock with a Zacks Rank #1 at the beginning of the month, the total return during the month was calculated as the % change in the price of the stock from the closing price of the prior month to the closing price of the current month plus any dividends received during the month. The monthly individual stock returns were then averaged to determine the portfolio return for the month. For each stock with a Zacks Rank #1 at the beginning of the week, the total return during the week was calculated as the % change in the price of the stock from the opening price for the week to the opening price of the next week plus any dividends received during the week. The weekly individual stock returns were then averaged to determine the portfolio return for the week. If no month-end price or week end open price was available for a stock, it was not included in the portfolio return for the month or the week. The monthly and weekly returns were compounded to arrive at the annual returns. The annualized return is the annual return that, had it been achieved in each year or portion of a year, would have compounded to create the total return over the full time period. These returns are based on the list of Zacks Rank #1 Stocks that was available to clients of Zacks as of the beginning of the month, when returns were calculated monthly, or as of the beginning of the week when returns were calculated weekly. These returns are higher than the returns an investor could achieve investing real money in a portfolio of Zacks Rank #1 stocks because the returns of the hypothetical Zacks Rank #1 portfolio exclude a number of costs, including commissions incurred for trading, the average bid ask spread, the price impact of the trading and, prior to 2013, in those months when the end of the month fell on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, the overnight return from the month end close to the open on the next trading day. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged index. Visit https://www.zacks.com/performance_disclosure for information about the performance numbers displayed above.
