7 Best Stocks for the Next 30 Days

Alaska Airlines Group (ALK)

Alaska Airlines Group (ALK) is actually based in Seattle, Washington, though
it does have a huge operation in Alaska. While the company is facing stiff
competition from Delta in Seattle, the company still has plenty of opportunities
for expansion by striking into new markets, while also defending its hub in
Washington State. ALK appears well-positioned for growth in the near term
thanks to expansion from its Northwest U.S. hub and low oil prices, which should
boost profits. Analysts seem to agree (and do not appear too fazed by Deltas
move into Seattle), as earnings estimates have been soaring as of late. ALK has
beaten estimates in all of the last four quarters, with an average beat of 5.1%.
ALK is actually riding a streak of five straight beats overall. This company has
seen its shares surge by 50 percent so far in 2014, and if you look at some of the
trends underpinning this company, there is plenty of reason to believe that more
strength is ahead for this airline..

semiconductors that are used in digital still cameras, digital camcorders, and

revenue surprises. Over the past four quarters, Ambarella has posted an average

new product sales, specifically for the GoPro Hero4 sports camera. Furthermore,
new opportunities in drones and wearable cameras, along with a solid foothold
in professional IP cameras in China, are its short and long term growth drivers.
Their new product mix and the success of the GoPro Hero 4 have Ambarella
poised for solid growth moving forward.
