As the aggressive growth stock strategist at Zacks Investment Research Brian Bolan usually looks for stocks that have a strong Zacks Style Score for Growth and a weak Style Score for Value. This week he is looking at two financial stocks. Robinhood Markets HOOD is fairly well known, but there is a smaller play that is very attractive here as well.
Opportun Financial OPRT is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and has a B for Growth and an A for Value in the Zacks Style Scores. The $213M market cap company reported a beat back on February 12th, and tested the $10 range but has fallen back since then. Brian rarely highlights a company that is looking for revenue contraction, but the possibility for lower rates and super low valuation makes this stock attractive right now.
Robinhood Markets HOOD is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and it has a B for Growth and a F for Value. This financial services platform has recently introduced crypto currency trading and also posted a big beat on February 12th. The recent weakness in the broader markets due to tariff talk has sent this stock much lower and its time to put it on your aggressive growth radar screen.
Just as in all of his Aggressive Growth Zacks Rank Buy videos, Brian reviews the earnings history, earnings estimates, growth projections and valuation before taking a look at the chart.
