CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Zacks.com announces the latest list of top performing Zacks #1 Rank ("strong buy") stocks. The stocks on the prestigious list with the

highest returns last week were First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR), Walter Industries, Inc. (NYSE: WLT), Trina Solar Ltd. (NYSE: TSL),

Pioneer Drilling Company, Inc. (AMEX: PDC) and The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS). Each of these stocks easily outperformed the S&P 500.

Stocks ranked #1 (Strong Buy) by Zacks have produced an average annual return of +32% since inception in 1988. During the 2000-2002 bear

market, Zacks #1 Rank stocks gained 43.8% while the S&P 500 tumbled 37.6%. To learn more about the Zacks Rank, go to

at.zacks.com/?id=3172.... Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS) is scheduled to report its fiscal third-quarter results on Friday. The fertilizer company has reported

three straight quarters of better-than-expected earnings per share with an average surprise of a little over 9%. MOS has benefitted from

a solid agricultural market that has enjoyed rising prices for its goods. The company moved into its reporting week with a gain of almost

14.6% for the five-day period ended Mar 28, which was enough to place it on the Zacks #1 Rank top performers list. MOS is no stranger to

this group, having made the top performers list for the month of February.

Earnings estimates for the year ending May 2008 have been trending higher for a while now, rising 6.9% in the past two months and 4.3% in

the past 30 days. In January, MOS announced fiscal second-quarter earnings per share that topped the consensus by almost 11%, while

improved year-over-year by more than 400%. Net sales moved higher by 44% to $2.2 billion. Its Phosphates segment grew 61% year over year

while its Potash segment advanced 23%.
