I recently viewed a nice list at Forbes.
The list was a research result of the 100 best small cap growth stocks in
America. Stocks from the table are public and tradeable in America. They all
have a total sales volume below the USD 1 billion mark and fantastic years of
recent growth. As you can see at the list, the GDP growth is America is still
weak but out there are still investment opportunities to discover.
I discovered the ten best dividend stocks from the
small cap growth picks. I needed to screen more than 50 companies in order to find
ten stocks with positive dividend payments. Most of the small cap
growth stocks don’t pay dividends. But the debt situation is very comfortable. Most
of them are free of debt and have bigger cash amounts to their balance sheets in
order to finance future growth. The average stock grew in sales by 19 percent yearly. Earnings followd by 31 percent growth yearly and the average return on equity amounted to 20 percent. See the full list of the 100 best small cap growth stocks at the end of this post.
Here are my favorite stocks:
