FireEye Inc. FEYE, provides security platform for cyber-attacks to enterprises and governments.  This Zacks Rank #2, Buy, stock saw Strong EPS growth last year and Zacks analysts feel it will be positioned for future earnings growth as well. That combined with rising estimates over the past month, underscores its potential outperformance. Its new Helix platform is highly regarded by analysts. The stock also stands to benefit from investor interest in light of recent trends in security breaches.

Caterpillar Inc CAT, is the world's largest manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, diesel and natural gas engines and industrial gas turbines. This Zacks #1 Strong Buy, reported an 11% rise in sales in August, owing to improvement in all regions particularly Asia Pacific and construction sector. Caterpillar has been grappling with the commodities rout triggered by a slowdown in China and excess supplies of most metals and energy products since last year. But it is finally showing signs of recovery this year, with its stock price up significantly. And, with better-than-expected results reported for the first-half 2017 and an improving backlog at the end of Q2 2017, this company is on the Comeback Trail.
