Quantitative Rankings

Sabrient ranks more than 7,500 U.S. and Canadian stocks, ADRs, indexes, and sectors to identify those most likely to outperform or underperform the market. Asset managers use our rankings to identify stocks predicted to outperform or underperform the market, for long and short stock ideas, and as a crosscheck to current portfolios.

Sabrient SectorCast and SectorCast ETF

The Sabrient SectorCast is used by asset managers as a forward look at sector rotation. Each week, SectorCast projects the performance 30-days forward of the 10 Thomson Reuters sectors and ranks them from best to worst. The rankings are based on the assessment of the constituent stocks in each sector, using the algorithm underlying our VCU strategy. The SectorCast-ETF uses the same algorithm but applies it to sector ETFs. This SectorCast is used to find actionable ideas for two of Sabrient’s weekly commentaries: ETF Periscope and Sector Detector.

Short Rankings

The Sabrient Short Rankings are extracted from the bottom 50 stocks of our VCU strategy rankings. These are the stocks with the most negative fundamentals, poorest accounting practices, and weakest outlook in our ranked database. All of which make them excellent candidates for shorting and for mitigating risk in a down market. Backtested annual returns for the bottom 2% of the VCU rankings have averaged -19% over the past 8 years.
