Welcome to Episode #356 of the Zacks Market Edge Podcast.
Every week, host and Zacks stock strategist, Tracey Ryniec, will be joined by guests to discuss the hottest investing topics in stocks, bonds and ETFs and how it impacts your life.
This week, Tracey is going solo to discuss growth stocks. They’ve come storming back in 2023. But what growth stocks have solid fundamentals and are on the move?
Screening for Top Ranked Growth Stocks on the Move

To add even more Zacks Rankiness, you can screen for stocks in the top 50% of Zacks Ranked Industries.
For growth, the screen looks for price changes in 1, 4 and 12 weeks.
The stocks also have to be over $5 and have average volume over 100,000 shares.
This screen returned just 6 stocks. Here are 5 of them.
