Fast-growing companies with good margins and a reasonable PEG
The PEG ratio is a throwback to the heady days of the late 90s. But, it's not just tech companies generating big sales increases anymore. Since all stock prices are based on expectations, it can be used to evaluate all companies with rapidly changing prospects. We've used it to find fast-growing companies, which may look overpriced by traditional metrics.
These super-sized companies are growing both their top and bottom lines
Think only small companies can keep up high growth? Think again. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial expect the good news from these big cap companies to continue.
Top ROE and ROC performers over the short- and long-term
Return on equity and return on capital are measures of profitability. They're rates of return on invested capital -- your capital. Strong short-term numbers are good, but professional investors often look for a long-term trend. These companies are acing the test.
These stocks have bottomed out and could rebound
Even though they're profitable, these companies have had a rough year, with major stock price declines. In the last week, things are looking better. Could there be no way but up for these comeback stories?
Profits, cash flow and dividends get you cash in your hand
These companies have been consistently profitable and have historically paid out reasonable dividends from their positive cash flow.
A battered share price has driven up the yield on these stocks
A high dividend yield can be a sign that a stock is cheap. In fact, this idea spurned its own investing philosophy, the Dogs of the Dow. We apply the same theory to all North American stocks. Could it really be this simple?
Stocks that look to have solid intrinsic value
These stocks cleared the challenging hurdles of nine, classic, value-investing ratios. So, why do they have such low price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios? They may have had problems that lead to their low valuations. We've chosen companies that should be strong enough to make it through the rough patch.
Cash cows showing shareholders the money with share buybacks
Profits need to be paid to shareholders or be re-invested. Instead of paying dividends, often a harbinger of slowing growth, many companies buy back their own shares. These companies can be described as having the best earnings quality as each shareholder's slice of the pie is growing.
It's pedal to the metal for these risky stocks
The top priority for these companies seems to be fast and furious revenue growth.
Growing profits could help these stocks leave penny territory behind
These stocks aren't for everyone. They can be extremely volatile, especially for companies still in the development phase. We've screened for ones have been profitable and seem to be growing.
Growing the widely-watched profit line
Earnings release day. It's surely the most nerve-wracking day on any CEO's calendar. Unless you're one of the select few that make it through this growth screen.
Trust this filter to find trusts with sustainable distributions
The eye-popping yields on some income trusts have investors asking, how long can this last? In fact, some trusts have blown up and now yield zero. To avoid them, we screen for trusts that have shown a moderate payout and, most importantly, a moderate, or lower, level of debt.
These 5-star stocks are analysts' favourites
The darlings of analysts and Globe Investor's 5-star rating system are screened for here.
Small companies that offer growth potential at a reasonable price
This filter is looking for the next big thing. These are fairly small companies with substantial earnings growth. The market hasn't given them a large premium for their growth yet, so it's a place to look for possibly over-looked gems.
Companies that have beaten the Street in the latest two quarters
The last two times these companies reported earnings, they beat the street handily. The market is happy with their performance too.
Losing money, but their price has taken a sharp turn upwards
The companies in this filter are losing money, but not as much as last year. Their stock prices have also ticked up in the last month, so they could be on the mend.
Blue-chip, capital-preservation stocks
This filter looks for blue-chip stocks by focusing on safety and stability. The fortunes of these companies haven't risen and fallen along with the economic cycle. They've been consistent over the long term. Do these dull stocks have more upside than you think?
A snapshot of the market's valuation of a company
Many investors like to stick to companies of a certain size. Market cap, the price of a company's common shares multiplied by the number of shares outstanding, is the best measurement. Big caps can provide better liquidity; small caps can be overlooked and can provide better value. There's a category for everyone here.
