With the volatile economic conditions, regional bank stocks still selling off, the Fed still raising interest rates, and earnings coming in, it’s time to look for cheap stocks that have some quality.
How do you find quality?
Screening for Top Stocks
We’re going to use the Zacks Rank. Specifically, we’re going to run a screen with only the top Rank, which is a #1. The #1 Rank stocks are considered to be “strong buys.” Right now, there are only 234 stocks that are Zacks #1 (Strong Buys).
But that’s too many stocks for a screen so Tracey added the Zacks Style Score for Value of A, which is the highest score.
This screen gave her 48 stocks.
