Screen of the Week written by Kevin Matras of Zacks Investment Research:  

Looking for growth and value is a winning combination. Especially now, with concerns over slowing growth and rich valuations.

And while there are still plenty of companies out there with great growth rates and attractive valuations, it's getting harder to find stocks that fit squarely into both categories.

Looking for both growth and value is a great combination and helps alleviate the pitfalls of having one but not the other. But I believe there's a right way and wrong way to find both growth and value stocks.

I do it by using a uniform ranking on both categories. And that's the focus of this week's screen. It focuses on companies with the highest growth rates AND the lowest P/E ratios ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
