Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Top Peter Lynch Stocks
About Peter Lynch: Perhaps the greatest mutual fund manager of all-time, Lynch guided Fidelity Investment's Magellan Fund to a 29.2 percent average annual return from 1977 until his retirement in 1990, almost doubling the S&P 500's 15.8 percent yearly return over that time. Lynch's common sense approach and quick wit made him one of the most quoted investors on Wall Street. ("Go for a business that any idiot can run -- because sooner or later, any idiot probably is going to run it," is one of his many pearls of wisdom.) Lynch's bestseller One Up on Wall Street is something of a "stocks for the everyman/everywoman", breaking his approach down into easy-to-understand concepts.

Validea Motley Fool Strategy Daily Upgrade Report - 8/14/2024

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – July 30, 2024 – Stocks in this week’s article are HCA Healthcare HCA, CrediCorp BAP, Booz Allen Hamilton BAH and Hubbell HUBB.
Scoop Up These 4 GARP Stocks for Handsome Returns
If you are looking for a profitable portfolio of stocks offering the best of value and growth investing, try the growth at a reasonable price or GARP strategy.
The strategy helps investors gain exposure to undervalued stocks with impressive prospects. Unlike a blend strategy, a portfolio that uses GARP investing is expected to include stocks that offer the best value and growth investing. HCA Healthcare, CrediCorp, Booz Allen Hamilton and Hubbell are some GARP stocks that hold promise.
GARP Metrics — Mix of Growth & Value Metrics
The GARP strategy seeks to offer an ideal investment by utilizing the best features of value and growth investing. Investors adopting the GARP approach prefer buying stocks priced below the market or any reasonable target determined by fundamental analysis. These stocks also have solid prospects in terms of cash flow, revenues, earnings per share (EPS) and so on.
Growth Metrics
A strong earnings growth history and impressive earnings prospects are the main concepts that GARP investors borrow from the growth investing strategy. However, instead of super-normal growth rates, pursuing stocks with a more stable and reasonable growth rate is a tactic of GARP investors. Hence, growth rates between 10% and 20% are considered ideal under the GARP strategy.
Another metric that growth and GARP investors consider is the return on equity (ROE). GARP investors look for a strong and higher ROE than the industry average to identify superior stocks. Stocks with positive cash flows find precedence under the GARP plan.
Value Metrics
GARP investing prioritizes the popular value metrics — the price-to-earnings (P/E) and price-to-book (P/B) ratios. Though this investing style picks stocks with higher P/E ratios than value investors, it avoids companies with extremely high P/E ratios.
Using the GARP principle, we ran a screen to identify stocks that should offer solid returns in the near term.
Here are four of the six stocks that made it through the screening process:
HCA Healthcare is the largest non-governmental operator of acute care hospitals in the United States. These hospitals provide outpatient services, such as outpatient surgery, laboratory, radiology, respiratory therapy, cardiology and physical therapy. HCA currently sports a Zacks Rank #1. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
HCA Healthcare has gained 31.7% year to date. It delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 8.24%, on average. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for HCA’s 2024 earnings has moved 4.4% north to $21.84 per share over the past 30 days.
CrediCorp is a limited liability company that acts as a holding company, coordinates the policy and administration of its subsidiaries, and engages in investing activities. BAP presently carries a Zacks Rank #2.
CrediCorp has gained 38.3% year to date. It delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 0.99%, on average. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for BAP’s 2024 earnings has moved 0.7% north to $18.76 per share over the past 60 days.
Booz Allen Hamilton is a provider of management and technology consulting, analytics, engineering, digital solutions, mission operations, and cyber expertise to the United States and international governments, corporations and not-for-profit organizations. The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #2.
Booz Allen Hamilton has gained 11.9% year to date. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 5.8%, on average. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2025 earnings has moved 2% north to $6.05 per share over the past 60 days.

Zacks.com featured highlights HCA Healthcare, CrediCorp, Booz Allen Hamilton and Hubbell

If you are looking for a profitable portfolio of stocks offering the best of value and growth investing, try the growth at a reasonable price or GARP strategy.
The strategy helps investors gain exposure to undervalued stocks with impressive prospects. Unlike a blend strategy, a portfolio that uses GARP investing is expected to include stocks that offer the best value and growth investing. HCA Healthcare HCA, CrediCorp BAP, Booz Allen Hamilton BAH and Hubbell HUBB are some GARP stocks that hold promise.
GARP Metrics — Mix of Growth & Value Metrics
The GARP strategy seeks to offer an ideal investment by utilizing the best features of value and growth investing. Investors adopting the GARP approach prefer buying stocks priced below the market or any reasonable target determined by fundamental analysis. These stocks also have solid prospects in terms of cash flow, revenues, earnings per share (EPS) and so on.
Growth Metrics
A strong earnings growth history and impressive earnings prospects are the main concepts that GARP investors borrow from the growth investing strategy. However, instead of super-normal growth rates, pursuing stocks with a more stable and reasonable growth rate is a tactic of GARP investors. Hence, growth rates between 10% and 20% are considered ideal under the GARP strategy.
Another metric that growth and GARP investors consider is the return on equity (ROE). GARP investors look for a strong and higher ROE than the industry average to identify superior stocks. Stocks with positive cash flows find precedence under the GARP plan.
Value Metrics
GARP investing prioritizes the popular value metrics — the price-to-earnings (P/E) and price-to-book (P/B) ratios. Though this investing style picks stocks with higher P/E ratios than value investors, it avoids companies with extremely high P/E ratios.
Using the GARP principle, we ran a screen to identify stocks that should offer solid returns in the near term.
Screening Parameters
Along with the criteria discussed in the above section, we have considered a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy).
Last 5-year EPS & projected 3-5-year EPS growth rates between 10% and 20% (Strong EPS growth history and prospects ensure improving business.)
ROE (over the past 12 months) greater than the industry average (Higher ROE than the industry average indicates superior stocks.)
P/E and P/B ratios less than the M-industry average (P/E and P/B ratios less than that of the industry indicate that the stocks are undervalued.)
Here are four of the six stocks that made it through the screening process:
HCA Healthcare is the largest non-governmental operator of acute care hospitals in the United States. These hospitals provide outpatient services, such as outpatient surgery, laboratory, radiology, respiratory therapy, cardiology and physical therapy. HCA currently sports a Zacks Rank #1.

HCA Healthcare has gained 31.7% year to date. It delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 8.24%, on average. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for HCA’s 2024 earnings has moved 4.4% north to $21.84 per share over the past 30 days.

A portfolio based on the GARP strategy comprises stocks that offer the best value and growth investment. ResMed, Booz Allen Hamilton, CrediCorp and American Express are some GARP stocks that hold promise.
