How to find some of the best Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks to buy in June.
Soaring fintech stock OppFi offers huge upside and great value.
The S&P 500 jumped 6% last month for its best May since 1990 and its strongest monthly performance since November 2023. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq surged nearly 10% as Wall Street dove headfirst back into beaten-down technology stocks.
The bulls pressed their advantage to start June, pushing the Nasdaq up 0.7% higher on Monday and 1% through midday trading Tuesday, boosted by strong showings from Nvidia and other tech giants.
The bulls are in charge, fueled by tech earnings growth and trade war progress. Now they are attempting to break above a key trading range before they send the market to new all-time highs.
It’s time to explore how investors can use a Zacks screen to help find some of the best Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks to buy in June and throughout the summer of 2025.
Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks outperform the market in good and bad times. However, there are over 200 stocks that earn a Zacks Rank #1 at any given time.
Therefore, it’s helpful to understand how to apply filters to the Zacks Rank in order to narrow the list down to a more manageable and tradable set of stocks.
Stock Screening Guidelines
Clearly, there are only three items on this screen. But together, these three filters can result in some impressive returns.
• Zacks Rank equal to 1
Starting with a Zacks Rank #1 is often a strong jumping off point because it boasts an average annual return of roughly 24.4% per year since 1988.
• % Change (Q1) Est. over 4 Weeks greater than 0
Positive current quarter estimate revisions over the last four weeks.
• % Broker Rating Change over 4 Week equal to Top # 5
Top 5 stocks with the best average broker rating changes over the last four weeks.

Despite the surge, investors can buy OppFi stock 22% below its February peaks while holding its ground above its 2021 IPO levels and its 21-day moving average recently. OppFi also trades at a 60% discount to its sector and 45% below its highs at 9.4X forward 12-month earnings.
