In an effort to help investors find winning stocks provide a sneak peak into some Zacks’ market-beating strategies, I highlighted four stock-picking screens from the Research Wizard and included a stock that was produced by each screen.

Obviously, the revenue growth could be attributed to the surging crude and natural gas prices as crude rose during the quarter. Natural gas prices increased 45% to an average of $10.57 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) and crude
