Growth & Income -
Qualcomm Incorporated
(

Qualcomm Incorporated recently reported record results for the
first quarter of its fiscal 2012. And management raised its

Momentum -
Prestige Brands
(
PBH
)
Just a month ago, we first featured PBH as a value stock that was
worth looking into. In less than 30 days since that report
the stock has gained 20% in value, reported a strong quarter and
has built quite a bit of momentum behind it. The stock is
currently consolidating near its 52-week high and could be poised
for another leg up. Even with its recent run, Prestige Brands
is still fairly valued from an earnings perspective and is still a
Zacks Rank #1 Strong Buy.

Value -
EnerSys Inc.
(
ENS
)
EnerSys Inc. recently saw record quarterly earnings as it added
investments in South America and South Africa. This Zacks #1 Rank
(Strong Buy) is expected to see double digit earnings growth in
Fiscal 2012. Yet it also has attractive valuations with a forward
P/E of just 11.8.

How to Regularly Access Top Zacks Rank Picks for Free -

Underlying the four free stock picks is a simple truth that
first appeared in a
Financial Analysts Journal
article published in 1979. Leonard Zacks, a Ph.D. from M.I.T. found
that
"earnings estimate revisions are the most powerful force
impacting stock prices."
Zacks #1 Rank is awarded to a stock when analysts sharply
upgrade their estimates of what the company will earn.
