ICLUB Growth Screen
Find Stocks with Above-Average Growth
Average company growth can vary significantly by industry group, but quality companies in lower-growth industries can add stability and lessen risk in your portfolio.
The ICLUB Growth pre-defined screen is meant to find companies that have consistent earnings per share and revenue growth that is higher than the average for each company's industry group using the following:
* Historical earnings per share and revenue growth over the past one, three, and five years at an average annual rate higher than the average rate for each company's industry group.
* A Quality Rating that is Acceptable (between 3.3 and 6.6) or Desirable (between 6.7 and 10.0).
By looking at growth rates over various periods, this screen will turn up companies that may be industries that have been affected by an industry turndown or economic cycle. In those cases, the strongest companies often are less affected by these factors, so their EPS or revenues may not decline as severely as some of their peers.
This screen has no valuation metrics assigned to it, so further study is required to determine if any of these stocks are reasonable prices at the current time.
As with all stock screens, you must continue on with your own research in order to validate the results before reaching a conclusion and making any purchase for your portfolio.

BetterInvesting-Style Stocks
A Screen to Find BetterInvesting-Style Stocks
Find companies that will look good on a Stock Selection Guide using this sample BetterInvesting stock screen.
Our featured stock screen, "BetterInvesting 1," will help you find companies that meet the minimum criteria for purchase as defined by BetterInvesting's Stock Selection Guide (SSG). This screen looks for companies that meet the following requirements:
* Historical earnings per share and revenue growth over the past 10 years at an average annual rate higher than 15 percent.
* The consistency of the EPS growth over the past five years, as measured by the R2 figure, must be very high (greater than 0.95).
* The Pre-Tax Profit Margin and Return on Equity (from Section 2 of the SSG) must be stable or growing.
* The Relative Value of the stock at its current price must be less than 100% (in other words, the Current P/E Ratio must be below the Average P/E Ratio of the last five years).
This screen is very rigid and will likely turn up only a few candidates for you to consider.
As with all stock screens, you must continue on with your own research in order to validate the results before reaching a conclusion and making any purchase for your portfolio.
