Growth & Income – Kama n Corp ( KAMN - Snapshot Report )
Kaman Corp has been surging lately. The company recently delivered third quarter earnings per share of $0.49, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 26%, driven by double-digit sales growth and an expanding operating margin.

Ameriprise Financial, Inc. just hit a new multi-year high at $55.06 after reporting an awesome Q3 earnings surprise of 28% in late October. Estimates have since jumped higher, with the next-year estimate projecting 17% growth, providing some very nice upward momentum for this Zacks #1 rank stock.

Value – Mas Tec Inc. ( MTZ - Snapshot Report )
Infrastructure has become a key component in this recovery as government officials are focusing on it as a means to create jobs and stimulate growth.

How to Regularly Access Top Zacks Rank Picks Free: http://at.zacks.com/?id= 7156

Underlying the four free stock picks is a simple truth that first appeared in a Financial Analysts Journal article published in 1979. Leonard Zacks, a Ph.D. in Mathematics from M.I.T. found that "earnings estimate revisions are the most powerful force impacting stock prices." Zacks #1 Rank is awarded to a stock when analysts sharply upgrade their estimates of what the company will earn.
