Therefore, we think it could be worth betting on fundamentally sound stocks Extreme Networks (NASDAQ:EXTR) and Universal Electronics (NASDAQ:UEIC). These two stocks are rated ‘Strong Buy’ in our proprietary rating system. Read on.Over the past few days, the major stock market indexes have rallied on optimism about a solid start to the third-quarter earnings season, a decline in jobless claims, and gradually lowering COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. The S&P 500 notched a six-day winning streak, verging close to its record high on October 20.
