The Sales & Earnings Growth Winners screen looks for companies with strong sales and a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy) or #2 (Buy), as well as a Zacks Style Score of A or B for growth.

The recent dip in the stock market has created a buying opportunity for your favorite tech stocks that you thought you missed out on. The equity market breakdown was caused by anxious investors concerned about an economic slowdown. The Eurozone economy is slowing down, and US investors are concerned that we will follow. Softer than expected service-sector figures combined with the implication of a manufacturing slowdown sent the European markets into a sell-off frenzy since Tuesday, the first trading day of the 4th quarter. The European market saw a roughly 5% breakdown this week, while the US’s S&P 500 has[…]
