When it comes to stock coverage, the squeaky CEO might get the publishing spotlight, but the stocks that get covered are not necessarily the ones you want to invest in. Truthfully, there are plenty of excellent stocks that are moving along their merry way and conducting business as usual (at least compared to the giant tech stocks of the world).
WallStreetZen focuses on fundamentals — not hype. That makes it a fantastic stock research site.
If you’re looking for smarter investments, our Zen Ratings system is just the place to start. Our quant ratings system evaluates stocks by 115 factors and gives them an overall rating, expressed as a letter grade, as well as 7 individual Component Grades. Stocks with a Zen Rating of A have produced an average annual return of +32.52% since 2003.
That sounds great, especially if someone consistently invests in A-rated stocks. That’s why we’re going to look at three A-rated stocks that might not be in the limelight right now. They include:
Not to be confused with Coca-Cola Co (NYSE:KO), COKE is a regional bottler and distributor of Coke products that is independent from KO, and as such is something to invest in separately.
Here’s something noteworthy to know: About four months ago, the bottler provided shareholders with a 400% dividend hike. And by all metrics, the path ahead for them seems to be on a fine, if uneventful, course.
Plus, COKE has several other advantages over KO. For one, while KO has a Zen Rating of C, COKE has an A rating, all the while having component grades of B for growth, momentum, safety, and financials.

Chairs might not be the most exciting thing in the world, but there’s a good chance you’re sitting in one right now, and people prefer nice ones.
The office furniture manufacturer has a few trends in its favor right now. First, there’s a return to office mandate for federal workers alongside a post-covid resurgence of the office. Additionally, even so, SCS has been working to appeal to break into the consumer market as well.
SCS shines with an A rating for Sentiment, a Component that considers 14 factors such as analyst ratings, insider buying activity, and more.
It also enjoys positive sentiment within our company. Our own resident stock picker, Zen Investor Editor-in-Chief Steve Reitmeister, wrote a piece in favor of SCS and how our Zen Ratings system backed it, calling it at the time underfollowed, undervalued, and having stellar fundamentals.

Magic sometimes happens backstage, and that’s more in line with what MGIC offers businesses and organizations.
The global enterprise software company has been in operation for more than 30 years now, and it’s entirely possible that the big name-companies you see in the headlines run their day-to-day operations on platforms made by MGIC. Working in many industries with stable financials behind them, even if one sector suffers, MGIC will not feel its full effect.
As it stands, MGIC is a safer option among the A-rated stocks with its top Safety rating, and it still has excellent value to investors. If you’re looking for a software-related stock that won’t make your heart skip a beat every other day, MGIC might be what you’re looking for.
