Here are three stocks with buy rank and strong value characteristics for investors to consider today, December 20th:
ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. (ARR - Free Report) : This residential mortgage-backed securities investor has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), and seen the Zacks Consensus Estimate for its current year earnings rising 6.1% over the last 60 days.
ArcBest Corporation (ARCB - Free Report) : This freight transportation services and logistics solutions provider has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), and seen the Zacks Consensus Estimate for its current year earnings rising 16.3% over the last 60 days.
Ally Financial Inc. (ALLY - Free Report) : This financial products and services provider has a Zacks Rank #2, and seen the Zacks Consensus Estimate for its current year earnings rising 4.2% over the last 60 days.
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 19X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
