Here is a synopsis of today's Zacks Rank Buy Stocks:

Aggressive Growth - Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. (NYSE:MC)

Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. is continuously making efforts to invest in key strategic businesses. The stock is cheap at 30.1x next year's estimates of 77 cents per share when the 40.3% long-term growth rate is taken into account. This gives the stock a PEG ratio of 0.75, which is attractive given the company's foothold in a rapidly growing market.

Growth & Income - Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation (NYSE:BNI)

Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation has topped the consensus earnings estimate in nine consecutive quarters. In late-January, the company posted record quarterly and annual revenues and EPS. Earnings per share are forecasted to grow 14.2% over the next 3-5 years. The company upped its capital commitment in 2006 by nearly 10%. BNI has a current dividend yield of 1.0% and a five-year average dividend yield of 1.6%.

Momentum - CryptoLogic, Inc. (Nasdaq:CRYP)

Cryptologic's short-term trend is higher, but overhead resistance must be watched on further advances. While the trend is clearly up for CRYP, there exists significant and recent resistance above the current price, particularly in a band between $30 and $35. When looking at resistance points, pay particular attention to the length of time that has occurred between the establishment of the resistance range and the current market. Simply put, the more recent the resistance, the more potent that it can be expected to be.

Value - NewMarket Corporation (NYSE:NEU)

NewMarket Corporation, a Zacks #1 Rank stock, has topped earnings estimates in the past three quarters. The company has increased revenues for the past three years while expanding gross margins for the past four. NEU has a current dividend yield of 1.2% and a price-to-book (P/B) multiple of 2.7.
