Five Year Growth Above 20%

A company that doesn't produce profits isn't going to stay in business very long. And that's not good for the company or the company's investors. So when I'm researching companies, I'm always on the lookout for those that have a high estimated long term (five years) earnings growth rate. Generally I look for companies that are growing earnings at fifteen percent per year because those companies will double their earnings every five years. 

Below is an even more select group of companies. Each of these seven companies are estimated to grow their earnings by twenty percent per year for the next five years. That's amazing. But before any investors get excited by this one fundamental measure, it should be noted that this is only one measure of success. It's also important to take into consideration the estimated one year return on invested capital. Or the dividend growth rate. Or the payout ratio. Or the price per earnings or the price to earnings to growth ratio. 

The following list of companies are a good starting point for discovering possible candidates for accumulation. At first look I would be interested in doing more research on the following companies: Vail Resorts, Valero Energy Partners, National Instruments Inc., and Janus Capital Group.

    I am an Individual Investor with specific interest in long term growth and then enhancing my returns with income from dividends and derivatives. I don't recommend stocks to anyone (it's a good way to lose friends) and no one reading this should misinterpret my blog as a recommendation for any type of investment. I am writing this solely for myself and my kids.
