CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Four
free stock picks are being made available today on Zacks.com. The industry’s leading independent research firm highlights one Zacks #1
Rank Strong Buy or a Zacks #2 Rank Buy stock for each of the four main styles of
investing: Aggressive Growth, Growth & Income, Momentum, and Value.
The four highlighted picks are: Dresser-Rand Group, Inc (NYSE: DRC),
Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT), Almost Family, Inc. (Nasdaq:
AFAM) and UniFirst Corp. (NYSE: UNF).
Today, Zacks is promoting its ''Buy'' stock recommendations. Four daily picks

Zacks #1 Rank Stocks have nearly tripled the S&P 500 since 1988,
producing an average annual return of +30%. Performance has been notable even
during volatile and down times. For example, during the last bear market,
2000-2002, the market tumbled -37.6% – but Zacks #1 Rank
stocks gained +43.8%.
Here is a summary of today's selected stocks that are now highly rated by
Zacks:
Aggressive Growth – Dresser-Rand Group, Inc
(NYSE: DRC)
Dresser-Rand Group continues to make strategic acquisitions and
recently announced solid second-quarter results. While the company has seen
quarterly earnings grow more than 78%, it remains reasonably priced with a PEG
ratio of .58.

estimates of $3.27 per share advanced from $3.23 over the past 60 trading days.

How to Regularly Access Picks from the Zacks Rank Discovery for Free:
http://at.zacks.com/?id=88
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. in Mathematics 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.
Today, Zacks is promoting its stock recommendations by offering four daily
picks free to those who register at http://at.zacks.com/?id=88.
