- Past 5Y Sales growth over 10 percent

- Earnings per share growth for the next five years over 10 percent

- Operating Margin over 10 percent

- Market capitalization above USD 2 billion

Fourteen stocks fulfilled these criteria of which eight pay dividends and twelve are currently recommended to buy. The results are dominated by business services stocks and discount, variety store concepts.
