ZACKS RANK BUY STOCKS - Today we highlight four new Zacks
#1 Rank Stocks: Apple Computer (AAPL), Caterpillar Inc. (CAT),
Schlumberger (SLB) and Timken Co. (TKR). Get these stories
below.
Every day on Zacks.com we highlight four Zacks Rank Buy stocks.
Each individual stock is chosen based on how well they match
the criteria for the four main schools of investing:
Aggressive Growth, Momentum, Growth & Income and Value.
Aggressive Growth - Apple Computer (AAPL)
Apple Computer (AAPL) shares took off by 12% last week after
the company reported the recent update of its notebook line
and the continued popularity of its iPod music players helped
fuel a nearly 48 percent increase in profit and countered Wall
Street fears that the company might be losing its shine. This
year's estimates jumped after the results, so it is still a
good stock to hold onto. Read the full analysis on AAPL at

Growth & Income - Caterpillar Inc. (CAT)
Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) posted second-quarter earnings per
share of $1.52, versus profits of $1.08 per share in the
prior-year period. The company surprised by 7.0%. Sales
increased 13% to $10.61 billion. Furthermore, CAT upped its
full-year earnings per share guidance to between $5.25 and
$5.50, compared to its prior outlook between $4.85 and $5.20
per share. Read the full analysis on CAT at

Momentum - Schlumberger (SLB)
Schlumberger (SLB) shares lifted last week as profits jumped
due to extremely strong overseas business and high oil prices.
The company also said growth for the rest of 2006 will
continue to be strong, particularly in the Eastern hemisphere,
though at slightly lower levels than in the second quarter.
Estimates have soared over the past 90 days for this year and
next. The chart still looks good as the 50-day moving average
is acting as strong support. Read the full analysis on SLB at

Value - Timken Co. (TKR)
On Jul 17, 2006, Timken Co. (TKR) upped its second-quarter
earnings per share guidance to about 89 cents, from its
previous outlook between 75 cents and 80 cents. Furthermore,
full-year profits are now expected to be between $3.00 and
$3.15 per share, excluding special items. The company
previously called for $2.80 to $2.95 per share. The revision
was fueled by the strong results of the company's steel group.
