Growth plays an important
role in the market valuation and is often the basic reason for a difference in valuation.
Today I like to
start a discussion by introducing 13 stocks that might be higher priced due
to their growth perspectives. I've compiled the stocks from a market screening
that has a strong focus on future growth and low P/E multiples. In addition, a
solid profit situation and adequate initial yield are essential.
