Top 5 Stocks for August

Top Stock #4:
Apollo Group (APOL)

Apollo Group (APOL) is America’s leading private educational provider, mainly through online and
brick-and-mortar classes at its flagship University of Phoenix. With high unemployment in the U.S., more workers are heading back to school for retraining — and
APOL is benefiting from booming sales and class enrollment.

The stock reported standout earnings earlier this month, and just as I expected, the stock beat Wall Street’s estimates and posted solid year-over-year
sales growth. The company said earnings soared 44% to $201.1 million or $1.26 per share, compared with $139.1 million or 85 cents per share in the
same quarter a year ago.

Wall Street was looking for just $1.12 per share, so APOL beat expectations with a nearly 13% earnings surprise! What’s more,
the education company’s sales rose nearly 26% to top expectations.

APOL is clearly at the head of its class. Buy it now!
