As the Aggressive Growth Stock Strategist at Zacks, I look for stocks with explosive growth potential.  I leverage the Zacks Rank, a tool for finding the strongest earnings estimate revisions, to help me narrow down the stocks that I can choose from.  One other tool I like to use is the Zacks Industry Rank.  It tells me which industries are hotter than others.

For the Bull of the Day, I am adding a stock that is certainly hot, but also comes from a hot industry.  It has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and has also showed some great revenue growth of late, something that I need to see in any aggressive growth selection I make.

Strong Sector

I recently wrote an article about strong stocks in a strong sector (https://www.zacks.com/commentary/101981/strong-stocks-in-a-strong-sector) but this was focused on storage stocks.

UCTT is in a strong sector, clocking in at #24 of 265 which lands in the top 9%.  There are also a few other stocks in that sector that carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).  Emcore Corp (EMKR Quick QuoteEMKR - Free Report) and Intevac (IVAC Quick QuoteIVAC - Free Report) are also seeing very positive earnings estimate revisions and are worth a deeper look.
