It was a quiet day on Wall Street Tuesday, but there were
several Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks making some noise.
And
Joe's Jeans Inc.
(
JOEZ
) was one of the loudest, with shares surging +8.6% on heavy
volume.
As its name implies, Joe's Jeans is a premium denim manufacturer.
It sells its products through department stores and boutiques.
Joe's delivered better than expected second quarter results on July
16. Earnings per share came in at 2 cents, beating the Zacks
Consensus Estimate of 1 cent. Revenue rose 16% to $28.6 million,
ahead of the consensus of $27.0 million. This was driven by a
stellar 10% jump in same-store sales.
The solid Q2 beat led analysts to revise their estimates higher for
both 2012 and 2013. It became a Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stock on
July 18.
magicJack VocalTec Ltd.
(
CALL
) was another hot Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stock, jumping +4.8%
on Tuesday. magicJack VocalTec provides voice-over-IP (VoIP)

per share came in at 51 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate
by a penny. Revenue surged 34% year-over-year to $38.6 million,
beating the consensus of $36.0 million. This was driven by a 68%
increase in the sale of magicJack and magicJack PLUS.

better-than-expected Q2 2012 results. CALL has been either a Zacks
#1 (Strong Buy) or #2 (Buy) Rank since June 15. It has soared more
than +36% since then.
