EMCORE (EMKR)

compound semiconductor-based

power markets.

This Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy)

stock has a Momentum Style Score
of B and is in an industry that ranks
in the Top 8% of our Zacks Industry

year. Four analysts have increased their estimates for the current quarter, while three have
done so for the current year. The moves have pushed our current quarter Zacks Consensus
Estimate from 5 cents to 10 cents and have increased our current year number from 23
cents to 34 cents. It was these estimates along with a fantastic quarterly report that set
EMKR off on a huge spike higher.

The Charles
Schwab Corp.
(SCHW)

The Charles Schwab Corporation

(SCHW) is a $55 billion investment
services firm with $2.73 trillion in
client assets. Schwab looks poised
for 26% EPS growth this year based
on rising analyst earnings estimates.

And the 15.6% revenue growth esti-

mate fueling those projected profits
is probably a big part of the reason
shares are pushing highs not seen
since the year 2000.

Wall Street analysts are forecasting that the broker hits a record $8.66 billion on the top line this
year. That math is driven by three factors: interest rates, deregulation, and the natural climb in
trading accounts and volume in a strong bull market. The financial sector definitely got a face
lift since the election for two obvious reasons. First, the yield curve steepened as long-term
Treasuries sold off fast and furious. Second, there was the overwhelming sense that the new
administration would do serious damage to financial regulations like Dodd-Frank.
