Bull Of The Day: ZAGG Inc (ZAGG)

Read MoreHide Full Article

ZAGG Inc is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and carries a growth style score of “A” which automatically puts it on my radar screen.  Following the recent beat the stock rallied over $10 and now that it is the Bull of the Day, it is on your radar screen!

Previously Held

I run Stocks Under $10 for Zacks and I used to have a position in this stock. It was about two years ago that I added the stock at $7.92 on July 28, 2015.  The position was sold on 12/29/15 for $11.40  -- the subscribers that followed that trade took home just short of 44%.

Description

ZAGG Inc, makes mobile tech accessories for smartphones and tablets. The company operates through ZAGG and mophie segments. It offers screen protection products; battery cases and power management products for tablets, smartphones, MP3 players, cameras, and other electronic mobile devices; device specific keyboards and device agnostic keyboards; earbuds, headphones, Bluetooth speakers, and cables under the ZAGG, InvisibleShield, IFROGZ, and mophie brands. ZAGG Inc is headquartered in Midvale, Utah.

Recent Earnings

The company reported a solid quarter at the start of the month. The company beat the top and bottom line expectations and the stock moved higher by 4.7% as a result.  Revenues were $115M, $5M ahead of the expectation while EPS of $0.12 were $0.02 better than expected.

Estimates Move Higher

Back in February of this year, the Zacks Consensus Estimate was $0.53.  A few beats later the number has shot higher to $0.82.  That is the 2017 number and most investors are looking ahead to the 2018 number.

The 2018 number started out at $1.00 in May, that kicked higher to $1.10 in July.  In early August following the most recent beat, the number has moved higher to $1.13.

This is the primary reason the stock is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy)
