1. BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc (NASDAQ: BMRN)

True: The biotech industry isn’t exactly known for its stability. But this stock stands out. 

Biomarin specializes in therapies for people with rare conditions and diseases. It has a promising future with some therapies potentially leading to a bright future for patients — and potentially stakeholders and shareholders. 

It also recently acquired Inozyme Pharma to increase its reach in the field of enzyme therapies (among other fields), pending finalization.

On the analyst side of things, BMRN has an analyst consensus of Strong Buy and the price forecast for the next 12 months is +21.78% at a minimum. See the ratings here

Our Zen Ratings system agrees with its component grades, with BMRN receiving a Component Grade of A for Value. It also receives a Component Grade of B for Sentiment, Financials, and Artificial Intelligence (our algorithms have detected trends in the stock that indicate future superior stock price results). In short, these ratings indicate that BMRN exhibits strong signs of financial health and is not reliant on debt, and that analyst and investor opinions of the stock are positive.

2. Aci Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW)

The software company specializing in payments and monetary software is our second selection for your consideration today, with the company recently releasing Connectic (a payments platform) and receiving positive buzz despite a recent share price downturn over the past few months.

Reviewing the Zen Rating, ACIW receives an A Component Grade for Sentiment, indicating it scores well on metrics related to insider action, short interest, analysts' recommendations, and other factors. It does have strong Financials and Artificial Intelligence Component Grades of B, as well, indicating a stable foundation for the company and signs that may signify positive trends for the stock in the future. 

The consensus of the analysts we cover who cover the stock is a strong buy, although note that there are only two making that consensus (not as many as most stocks), and you will want to perform further research yourself. They do hold a positive forecast of +26.64% over the next 12 months, however.
