3 Buy Ranked Stocks That Surged Today

Monday marked another solid day for markets and indexes, with the Dow Jones climbing once again and tech giants Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) reaching new highs.

Netflix saw its stock price skyrocket in after-hours trading after the streaming giant crushed its projections for Q4 subscriber growth. The company added 8.3 million new users worldwide, beating its own estimates by 2 million (also read: Netflix (NFLX) Soars On Historic Subscriber Growth).

But Netflix and Microsoft weren’t the only companies to experience solid gains on Monday. With that said, let’s take a look at three buy-ranked stocks that surged today.

Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ:WYNN)

Shares of Wynn Resorts popped over 8.60% to close at a new 52-week high of $195.84 per share. The resort and gaming giant climbed after posting better-than-expected Q4 earnings. Wynn’s EPS jumped over 100% from the year-ago period, while its sales climbed by nearly 30%, driven by stellar growth from Wynn Macau. Wynn is currently a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and rocks an “A” grade for Growth in our Style Scores system.

Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ:FB)

Facebook grabbed headlines today as Rupert Murdoch called on the company to start paying publishers for content, as the company’s “fake news” problem just won’t seem to go away. “If Facebook wants to recognize ‘trusted’ publishers then it should pay those publishers a carriage fee similar to the model adopted by cable companies,” Murdoch said in a statement Monday.

Still, shares of Facebook gained 2.25%, and are also up in after-hours trading, as they inch closer to their all-time high. The social media power is currently a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and is expected to see its top and bottom-lines grow by 42.62% and 37.59%, respectively, when it reports its Q4 earnings on Wednesday, Jan. 31.

Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:IBKR)

Last week, Interactive Brokers Group posted Q4 earnings that topped our Zacks Consensus Estimates by 10.26%. On top of that, the company’s electronic brokerage segment revenues soared by 50% year-over-year.

Before today’s nearly 2% climb, this automated trade execution firm had seen its stock price skyrocket 69.37% over the last 52 weeks. Interactive Brokers is currently a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and boasts an “A” grade for Momentum in our Style Scores system. The stock currently rests just below its 52-week high.

The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All

Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce ""the world's first trillionaires,"" but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
