Value Investor portfolio, shares some of her top value investing tips and stock picks.

Growth stocks continue to lead the markets, but some value stocks have also gotten into the action.

What if you could get a stock breaking out to 52-week highs but it was also cheap? That would be the best of both worlds.

Screening for Value Stocks at New Highs

Zacks has a Premium screen that looks for value stocks at new 52-week highs.

It looks for stocks within 10% of their 52-week high, a Zacks Value Style Score of A, which is the highest score, and a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy) or #2 (Buy). Those are the two highest Zacks Ranks.

Remember, the Zacks Rank is a short-term stock recommendation of just 1 to 3 months. It is based on changes to analyst earnings estimates.

This screen returned 18 value stocks.

3 Value Stocks at New 52-Week Highs

1. Copa Holdings, S.A. CPA

Copa Holdings operates Copa Airline out of Panama City, Panama, and Wingo, a low-cost airline in Colombia.
