With the market running towards highs and in the midst of a strong move off the lows, it feels like everything is going to go up forever. You need to be cautious as that is never the case. While there are plenty of stocks which have moved for the right reasons, there are some duds out there you could be running into. One way to avoid those duds is to lean on the strength of the Zacks Rank. Stocks with solid Zacks Ranks like today’s Bull of the Day have strong earnings trends which help underpin market moves.

Today’s Bull of the Day is Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) Rogers (ROG - Free Report) . This company designs, develops, manufactures and sells engineered materials and components for mission critical applications. The Company's segments are Advanced Connectivity Solutions (ACS), Elastomeric Material Solutions (EMS), Power Electronics Solutions (PES) and Other.

The reason for the favorable Zacks Rank lies in the recent moves coming from analysts. Analysts have pushed up their estimates for the current quarter and current year. This bullish sentiment has increased our Zacks Consensus Estimates from $1.42 to $1.55 for the current quarter while current year numbers have gone up from $5.93 to $6.64.
