Zacks Buy List Highlights: -- Jan 6 2004
CHICAGO, Jan 6, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Zacks.com releases another list of stocks that are currently members of the coveted Zacks #1 Ranked list which has produced an average annual return of +33.7% since inception in 1988 and has gained +100.3% since January 2000 when the market was in the grips of the worst bear market in 60 years. Among the #1 ranked stocks today we highlight the following companies: Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) and Joy Global Inc. (NASDAQ:JOYG). Further they announced #2 Rankings (Buy) on two other widely held stocks: Deere & Company (NYSE:DE) and International Rectifier Corporation (NYSE:IRF). To see the full Zacks #1 Ranked list or the rank for any other stock then visit: at.zacks.com/?id=88
Here is a synopsis of why these stocks have a Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy). Note that a #1 Strong Buy rating is applied to 5% of all the stocks we rank:
Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) is a leading semiconductor chip maker, which supplies the computing and communications industries with chips, boards, and systems building blocks that are integral to computers, servers, and networking and communications products. There are high hopes for all things technology as we enter a brand new year, which means all eyes are on industry leaders like Intel. Analysts appear to believe that the year ending December 2004 will be a solid one for the company, as many have decided to revise their expectations for that year higher over the past several weeks. Earnings estimates for that year are about +21% above levels from three months ago. Furthermore, analysts expect that year's earnings result to be about +52% better than the year ending December 2003. Intel will cap off 2003 with its fourth quarter earnings announced later this month. In October, the company posted a solid third quarter performance with earnings of 25 cents per share, which marked a substantial improvement over the year-ago performance while also beating the consensus by more than +8%. Intel appears to be conducting some solid expectations for the future, so investors may want to get involved.
Joy Global Inc. (NASDAQ:JOYG) is a worldwide leader in manufacturing, servicing and distributing equipment for surface mining through its P&H Mining Equipment division and underground mining through its Joy Mining Machinery division. Last month, Joy Global reported a solid fourth quarter performance with net income that easily beat the consensus by more than +90% and net sales that jumped by +38% to $378 million. The company stated that conditions continue to improve in many of the markets that its customers serve. It expects such improvement to increase demand for its aftermarket services and original equipment in fiscal 2004. The company said that its operating performance was positively impacted as it implemented successful cost reduction initiatives, and experienced favorable industry conditions and a stronger aftermarket business. Earnings estimates for the this year, ending October, 2004, have improved by about 12 cents, or +18%, from levels one month ago. If conditions continue to improve, than there's a good chance that Joy Global's earnings estimates could rise even further. Investors may want to mine for a piece of this company in the new year.
Here is a synopsis of why these stocks have a Zacks Rank of 2 (Buy). Note that a #2 Buy rating is applied to 15% of all the stocks we rank:
Deere & Company (NYSE:DE) is probably best known for it's green and yellow agricultural equipment; but Deere also operates segments in commercial and consumer equipment, construction and forestry, and credit. Over the past two months, earnings estimates for this year and next have improved by about 14 cents and 22 cents respectively for Deere, marking improvements of approximately +4% and +5%. In November, the company capped off its year with a solid fourth quarter performance, including net income of 27 cents per share that beat the consensus by about +50%, and worldwide net sales and revenues that jumped +14% to $3.939 billion. The company stated that 2003's results show evidence that its plans for building a better business are working. Deere expects further improvement for the full 2004 fiscal year, including a sales rise of +9% to +11%. Analysts appear to agree about the company's future, and expect next year's earnings result to be approximately +21% better than this year's. Deere appears to have made the right moves for the future, and could be just what you need to make your investment universe more fertile.
International Rectifier Corporation (NYSE:IRF) is a technology pioneer and a leading designer and manufacturer of power semiconductors that refine electricity from wall outlets or batteries into a more usable form. Late October saw International Rectifier get off to a good start for the year with fiscal first quarter pro forma net income of 30 cents per share, that beat the year-ago performance while eclipsing the consensus by 2 cents, or more than +7%. In addition, revenues also advanced from last year and came in at $234.1 million. The company stated that orders improved by +5% sequentially and +30% year-over-year, helped along by a continued increase information technology orders. Earnings estimates for this year and next have advanced by about 5 cents and 3 cents respectively, or approximately +4% and +1%. After a very tough time for its industry, the landscape appears to be improving, which is good news for International Rectifier. In fact, analysts expect next year's earnings results to be as much as +50% greater than this year's. Investors looking to rectify past losses may want to consult this innovative company.
