As the aggressive growth stock strategist at Zacks Investment Research Brian Bolan usually looks for stocks that have a strong Zacks Style Score for Growth and a weak Zacks Style Score for Value.  This week he is a little more defensive than usual.  The war in Iran and the fragile ceasefire might have some stocks trading higher, but that doesn’t mean it is time to be super aggressive.

Mama’s Creations (MAMA Quick QuoteMAMA - Free Report) a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and has an A for Growth and an F for Value in the Zacks Style Scores.  MAMA is maker of deli prepared foods which serve grocery, mass, club and convenience stores.  As far as being defensive, food is about strong as you can get in during this time of volatility Brian believes it is good to have this stock on your radar screen.

FIGS (FIGS Quick QuoteFIGS - Free Report) is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy)  and it has an A for Growth and a F for Value.  This company is a direct to consumer healthcare and apparel company.  Brian mentioned that the company is in the shoe industry, but it is much more than that and worth a deeper look.

Just as in all of his Aggressive Growth Zacks Rank Buy videos, Brian reviews the earnings history, earnings estimates, growth projections and valuation before taking a look at the chart.
