Super Growth screen sets sights on US

Tag : Tool Sets

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

The best growth stocks listed in the United States. This is asimilar screen to the one we did on Canadian stocks earlier thisweek that we christened the Super Growth screen.

TODAY'S SCREEN

We'll use the screening tool available from Thomson Reuters. We'lllook for stocks that have at least 25-per-cent expected revenue andshare-profit growth for this year and next. We'll add a minimummarket capitalization of $2-billion (U.S.) and we'll rank stocks bythe greatest expected profit growth for next year. We'll also throwin price-to-earnings ratios so that you can get a feel for howexpensive these stocks are. Keep in mind that these prices do notinclude yesterday's plunge, as the screening tool didn't haveyesterday's prices until after deadline.

SO WHAT DID WE TURN UP?

When we did this screen back in October, two Canadian companiesmade the cut. Research In Motion was third on the list under Google and Nintendo, while Cameco Corp. was about midway down. RIM has fallen down the list, but Googleand Nintendo aren't there at all any more, and neither is Cameco.It shows you how fleeting growth stocks can be. A few otherCanadian names – Potash Corp. , Fording Canadian Coal Trust , and Kinross Gold , have made the list. Let's see how long they can stay there.
