The recommendation is displayed with decimals as opposite to that of the Zacks Rank, which is assigned in whole numbers.
Although the ABR is assigned on a 1-5 scale, it is significantly different from the Zacks Rank. The Zacks ABR is purely based on brokerage calls. Analysts employed by research firms have been overly confident with their calls. For every “Strong Sell” call, brokerages assign 5 “Strong Buy” calls. Although brokerages may show some value, on average, the groups have not proven to be effective in directing investors to the shares with the highest probabilities of growth.
