AAOI and ICHR are Aggressive Growth Zacks Rank Buys

Read MoreHide Full Article

Brian Bolan, the Aggressive Growth Stock Strategist for Zacks Investment Research found two more chip related names to talk about.  The first is more about the data center backbone and getting information to those servers as fast as possible.  Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI - Free Report) is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and carries a growth style score of “A” while the value style score is a “D.”  Brian tells Terry Ruffolo for what has to be the 100th time that he likes to see the divergence between growth and value in the style scores, but notes that at 16x forward earnings the low value style score may not be warranted.  Next is Ichor Holdings (ICHR - Free Report) which is also a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) which also carries a growth style score of “A” and with a forward earnings multiple of 11x the value style score is understandably a “B.”  Brian points out that the recent beat of a penny and strong earnings results drove earnings estimates much higher for this stock and that despite a strong move already in this young stock, the aggressive growth strategists expects more gains to come.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?

Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.

With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.

It's not the one you think.
