Every week, host and Zacks stock strategist, Tracey Ryniec, will be joined by guests to discuss the hottest investing topics in stocks, bonds, and ETFs and how it impacts your life.
This week she has gone solo to screen for the stocks everyone wants right now: Zacks top ranked growth stocks.
Screening for #1 Growth Stocks
What does that mean? The stock must have the Zacks Rank of #1 which is Zacks top rank of Strong Buy. On any given day, only about 220 to 240 stocks have this prestigious Zacks Rank out of over 4,000 stocks.
The Strong Buy Zacks Rank usually indicates the analysts are raising earnings estimates. Why should we care about that? Because it usually means there is something good going on at the company if all the analysts are revising higher for the full year.
The screen also looks for double digit growth for last year and this year. That means the company isn't just a flash in the pan. It has a 2-year track record.
This screen returned 52 stocks.
5 Top Ranked Strong Buy Growth Stocks for 2024
1. Wingstop Inc. WING
Wingstop has been a growth machine throughout the pandemic and now post-pandemic. First quarter domestic same-store-sales skyrocketed 21.6% with much of the growth from transactions, not from price increases.
