Here are four stocks with buy rank and strong value characteristics for investors to consider today, December 14th:
Vectrus, Inc. : This infrastructure asset management services provider has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), and seen the Zacks Consensus Estimate for its current year earnings rising 3.1% over the last 60 days.
ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. (ARR - Free Report) : This investor in residential mortgage backed securities has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), and seen the Zacks Consensus Estimate for its current year earnings increasing 1.1% over the last 60 days.

CoreCivic, Inc. : This real estate investment trust has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), and seen the Zacks Consensus Estimate for its current year earnings increasing 0.4% over the last 60 days.
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +18.8% from 2016 - Q1 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +157.0%, +128.0%, +97.8%, +94.7%, and +90.2% respectively.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - Q1 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 11X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
