It is also worth remembering that Wall Street has largely shrugged off other conflicts in recent years.\nMeanwhile, Nvidia capped off another blockbuster reporting season for big tech and AI stocks. More importantly, almost every pocket of the economy is projected to report earnings growth in 2026, with 15 out of 16 Zacks sectors set to post YoY earnings expansion.\nTherefore, despite the possibility of near-term volatility and selling pressure, long-term investors should consider buying some of the best of the best stocks in March.\nLet’s explore how investors can use a Zacks screen to help find some of the best Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks out of a group of over 200 highly-ranked companies to consider buying now. \nZacks Rank Basics\nZacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) \nstocks outperform the market in good and bad times. However, there are over 200 stocks that earn a Zacks Rank #1 at any given time.\nTherefore, it’s helpful to understand how to apply filters to the Zacks Rank in order to narrow the list down to a more manageable and tradable set of stocks.\nHow to Find the Best \"Strong Buy\" Stocks \nThere are only three items on this screen. But together, these three filters can result in some impressive returns.\n• Zacks Rank equal to 1\nStarting with a Zacks Rank #1 is often a strong jumping off point because it boasts an average annual return of roughly 24.4% per year since 1988.\n• % Change (Q1) Est. over 4 Weeks greater than 0\nPositive current quarter estimate revisions over the last four weeks.\n• % Broker Rating Change over 4 Week equal to Top # 5\nTop 5 stocks with the best average broker rating changes over the last four weeks.\nThis strategy comes loaded with the Research Wizard and is called bt_sow_filtered zacks rank5. It can be found in the SoW (Screen of the Week) folder.\nHere is\none\nof the\nfive\nstocks that qualified for the Filtered Zacks Rank 5 strategy today…\nBuy\nGold.com Stock Now and Hold as a Debasement Trade Bet\nGold.com Inc.\n(\nGOLD\n-\nFree Report\n)\n \nstock has skyrocketed 130% in the past six months to new all-time highs as investors, big and small, race to buy physical assets such as gold, silver, and beyond in a race to safety.\nDespite its run to fresh highs, GOLD’s average Zacks price target still offers 17% upside from its current levels. On top of that, all five brokerage recommendations that Zacks has are “Strong Buys,” and it pays a dividend.\nGOLD’s earnings estimates have soared since its Q2 FY26 earnings release in early February, landing the stock its Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). Its third-quarter EPS estimate has surged 111%, with its FY26 estimate up 53% and 12% for 2027. Gold.com Inc. is projected to expand its adjusted EPS by 63% this year and another 16% next year.\nImage Source: Zacks Investment Research\nGOLD is a vertically integrated precious metals and alternative assets company that trades, wholesales, and retails physical gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rare coins, and collectibles such as rare coins and currency.\nThe firm runs major online brands such as JM Bullion, GovMint, and Stack’s Bowers Galleries to sell directly to everyday investors and collectors. Gold.com also handles larger-scale wholesale distribution, secure logistics and storage, custom minting, loans backed by precious metals, and much more.\nInvestors can view Gold.com as a one-stop shop ecosystem for buying, selling, storing, and financing physical precious metals. Gold as a whole could remain in a powerful structural bull run throughout 2026 and beyond, fueled by robust central bank demand globally, retail inflows, a weakening U.S. dollar, ongoing geopolitical risks, inflation, and more. \nImage Source: Zacks Investment Research\nGold.com announced on February 5 that it has secured a $150 million strategic investment from Tether—the issuer of major stablecoins and one of the largest known private owners of gold globally—to establish a “strategic partnership designed to bridge physical precious metals and digital finance.” GOLD is positioning itself as a long-term player in the wider debasement trade that might be just starting. \nGet the rest of the stocks on this list and start looking for the newest companies that fit these criteria.

It is also worth remembering that Wall Street has largely shrugged off other conflicts in recent years.\n\nMeanwhile, Nvidia capped off another blockbuster reporting season for big tech and AI stocks. More importantly, almost every pocket of the economy is projected to report earnings growth in 2026, with 15 out of 16 Zacks sectors set to post YoY earnings expansion.\n\nTherefore, despite the possibility of near-term volatility and selling pressure, long-term investors should consider buying some of the best of the best stocks in March.\n\nLet’s explore how investors can use a Zacks screen to help find some of the best Zacks Rank \\#1 (Strong Buy) stocks out of a group of over 200 highly-ranked companies to consider buying now.\n\n**Zacks Rank Basics**\n\n**Zacks Rank \\#1 (Strong Buy)** stocks outperform the market in good and bad times. However, there are over 200 stocks that earn a Zacks Rank \\#1 at any given time.\n\nTherefore, it’s helpful to understand how to apply filters to the Zacks Rank in order to narrow the list down to a more manageable and tradable set of stocks.\n\n## **How to Find the Best \"Strong Buy\" Stocks**\nThere are only three items on this screen. But together, these three filters can result in some impressive returns.\n\n**• Zacks Rank equal to 1**\n\nStarting with a Zacks Rank \\#1 is often a strong jumping off point because it boasts an average annual return of roughly 24.4% per year since 1988.\n\n**• % Change (Q1) Est. over 4 Weeks greater than 0**\n\nPositive current quarter estimate revisions over the last four weeks.\n\n**• % Broker Rating Change over 4 Week equal to Top \\# 5**\n\nTop 5 stocks with the best average broker rating changes over the last four weeks.\n\n*This strategy comes loaded with the Research Wizard and is called bt\\_sow\\_filtered zacks rank5.

On top of that, all five brokerage recommendations that Zacks has are “Strong Buys,” and it pays a dividend.\n\nGOLD’s earnings estimates have soared since its Q2 FY26 earnings release in early February, landing the stock its Zacks Rank \\#1 (Strong Buy). Its third-quarter EPS estimate has surged 111%, with its FY26 estimate up 53% and 12% for 2027. Gold.com Inc. is projected to expand its adjusted EPS by 63% this year and another 16% next year.\n\n![Zacks Investment Research](https:\/\/staticx-tuner.zacks.com\/images\/articles\/charts\/70\/148818.jpg?v=795566525)  \nImage Source: Zacks Investment Research\n\nGOLD is a vertically integrated precious metals and alternative assets company that trades, wholesales, and retails physical gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rare coins, and collectibles such as rare coins and currency.\n\nThe firm runs major online brands such as JM Bullion, GovMint, and Stack’s Bowers Galleries to sell directly to everyday investors and collectors.

This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S\\&P 500 with an average gain of +23.93% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through March 2, 2026. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations. Zacks may license the Zacks Mutual Fund rating provided herein to third parties, including but not limited to the issuer.\n\nVisit [Performance Disclosure](https:\/\/www.zacks.com\/performance_disclosure) for information about the performance numbers displayed above.\n\nVisit [www.zacksdata.com](http:\/\/www.zacksdata.com\/) to get our data and content for your mobile app or website.\n\nReal time prices by BATS.

Boilerpipe Text	Key Takeaways Helping investors find the best Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks to buy now. Buy soaring Gold.com stock and hold as an investment in gold, silver, and the wider debasement trade. The bulls are attempting to hold their ground at the Nasdaq’s 200-day moving average amid escalating attacks in Iran and the surrounding region. The fact that investors raced in to defend that key technical range could signal that Wall Street isn’t too worried about the recent wave of bombings transforming into a larger-scale and prolonged war. It is also worth remembering that Wall Street has largely shrugged off other conflicts in recent years. Meanwhile, Nvidia capped off another blockbuster reporting season for big tech and AI stocks. More importantly, almost every pocket of the economy is projected to report earnings growth in 2026, with 15 out of 16 Zacks sectors set to post YoY earnings expansion. Therefore, despite the possibility of near-term volatility and selling pressure, long-term investors should consider buying some of the best of the best stocks in March. Let’s explore how investors can use a Zacks screen to help find some of the best Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks out of a group of over 200 highly-ranked companies to consider buying now. Zacks Rank Basics Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks outperform the market in good and bad times. However, there are over 200 stocks that earn a Zacks Rank #1 at any given time. Therefore, it’s helpful to understand how to apply filters to the Zacks Rank in order to narrow the list down to a more manageable and tradable set of stocks. How to Find the Best "Strong Buy" Stocks There are only three items on this screen. But together, these three filters can result in some impressive returns. • Zacks Rank equal to 1 Starting with a Zacks Rank #1 is often a strong jumping off point because it boasts an average annual return of roughly 24.4% per year since 1988. • % Change (Q1) Est. over 4 Weeks greater than 0 Positive current quarter estimate revisions over the last four weeks. • % Broker Rating Change over 4 Week equal to Top # 5 Top 5 stocks with the best average broker rating changes over the last four weeks. This strategy comes loaded with the Research Wizard and is called bt_sow_filtered zacks rank5. It can be found in the SoW (Screen of the Week) folder.

This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S\&P 500 with an average gain of +23.93% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through March 2, 2026. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations. Zacks may license the Zacks Mutual Fund rating provided herein to third parties, including but not limited to the issuer.
