	Beat the Market with Our Best Long-Term Picks Zacks Member, Happy New Year! Tomorrow is the highly anticipated day when I'll post Zacks Top 10 Stocks for 2025. You are invited to be first to see them. These stocks are worthy of your immediate attention. The 2024 portfolio is beating the S&P 500 2.5X over with an astonishing gain of +71.9%. And since inception in 2012, our Top 10s have returned +2,112.6% versus the market's +475.6%—that's more than 4X over.¹ And just like last year, their potential value is greatest at the time of their release. Be First to the Stocks » The portfolio features the Best-of-the-Best fundamentally sound stocks. I handpick each from the Zacks universe of more than 4,000 stocks according to a rigorous selection process: 1. Start with the Zacks Rank and primarily focus on stocks with a #1 (Strong Buy) or #2 (Buy) rating. Since 1988, this stock-rating system has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +24.4% per year. 2. Look at the Zacks Industry Rank with its 2-to-1 performance advantage. Weak industries that tend to drag down stock prices of good companies are weeded out. 3. Dig into financials to uncover undervalued stocks. Study after study proves that stocks with low valuations will outperform the market in the long run. 4. Insist on rock-solid fundamentals. I consider the fiscal health of the company, with a particular emphasis on how effectively it is managed. 5. This portfolio is a practical execution of my outlook for the year. As always, that outlook reflects a meticulous assessment of economic and market fundamentals that take into account a variety of scenarios. 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. Don't miss these 10 ripe profit opportunities for 2025 when they're released at 11:00 a.m. ET on Thursday, January 2 – tomorrow. ▶ Be First to the Stocks Happy Investing, Sheraz Mian Director of Research

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.
