How American National Bankshares (AMNB) Stock Stands Out in a Strong Industry

One stock that might be an intriguing choice for investors right now is American National Bankshares Inc. AMNB. This is because this security in the Banks - Southeast space is seeing solid earnings estimate revision activity, and is in great company from a Zacks Industry Rank perspective.

This is important because, often times, a rising tide will lift all boats in an industry, as there can be broad trends taking place in a segment that are boosting securities across the board.
