Kors Returns To Number One As Our Top-ranked S&P500 Stock

For today's bulletin, we present key metrics for the top picks in the S&P 500. The companies listed below represent the top-ten BUY/STRONG BUY stocks within the index. They are presented below according to their one-month forecast target prices.

In our last edition. Micahel Kors was finally dethroned as our top-ranked SP500 stock. But, the reign of new leader CBS at the top of our chart did not last long. Today's query of our systems shows that Kors is back at number one while CBS has fallen to the number four spot.

This week, we find that KLA-Tencor also declined to make room for Kors' return to the premier spot. We also see that Applied Materials, Tyson Foods, UTD Rentals, and Zimmer Biomet managed to move up a few spots. Turnover was relatively light, with newcomers LAM Research, Broadcom, and International Paper just managing to creep into the top ten.

Scripps Networks, Global Payments, and Entergy have fallen out of our op-stick list. Our list is dominated by tech and consumer discretionary firms this month. And, each company in our top-ten list is ranked STRONG BUY or BUY this time around.
