Here are three stocks with buy ranks and strong growth characteristics for investors to consider today, May 16th:
ASGN Incorporated (ASGN - Free Report) : This IT and professional services provider, which carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), has witnessed the Zacks Consensus Estimate for its current year earnings rising 4.6% over the last 60 days.
Urban Outfitters, Inc. (URBN - Free Report) : This lifestyle products and services company, which carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), has witnessed the Zacks Consensus Estimate for its current year earnings rising 1.3% over the last 60 days.
SMART Global Holdings, Inc. (SGH - Free Report) : This designer of specialty memory solutions, which carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), has witnessed the Zacks Consensus Estimate for its current year earnings increasing 24.7% over the last 60 days.
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 19X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
