Current Growth Companies to Study

A common question asked by investment club members and individual investors alike is "Where can I find ideas for companies to study?" StockCentral's online Stock Screener is one easy-to-use answer. This search tool allows you to screen 8,000 companies using Morningstar data, and quickly identify those stocks that meet your personal requirements for consideration. Whether you're looking for growth, quality, value or safety -- or some mix of those characteristics -- StockCentral's screener can help. To demonstrate the power of StockCentral's online Stock Screener, we present the top companies that meet certain characteristics each week in our "Growth Companies to Study" list. This screen is based on the following stringent criteria and may only return a limited set of companies:

• Historic 5-year EPS growth greater than 15%
• Historic 5-year Revenue growth greater than 15%
• EPS R2 (consistency) over last 5 years greater than 0.9
• Historical Value Ratio between 0.7 and 1.0

The data is generated weekly by ICLUBcentral's StockCentral web tool for fundamentally-focused stock investors. StockCentral subscribers have access to a set of pre-defined screens as well as the capability to design their own custom screens.
