Nuvasive and NeoPhotonics in the Spotlight - Video Blog

Brian Bolan
Updated



Zacks Investment Research Aggressive Growth Stock Strategist Brian Bolan and Terry Ruffolo discuss two “N” stocks.  Nuvasive is a medical device play whose industry rank was recently in the top ten according to the Zacks Industry Rank.  Brian likes this stock that reports on July 28 after the close as it has a positive Earnings ESP of 4.17%.  It should be noted that Brian picked AMZN to beat based on its positive Earnings ESP and other factors he discussed in last week’s video and coincidently, the change in estimates for that stock have made it a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) today!
 
The other stock Brian highlighted was NeoPhotonics, an optical network play that fits in with Brian’s thesis of buying the supply chain of data centers.  He noted that Facebook (FB) recently announced its 5th data center is going to be built in Texas, and a company like NPTN is primed to sell into that build.  Brian noted that the stock has come back from a recent high around $10 and earnings are right around the corner (8/5/15).
