Stocks that outperform the market usually share key traits such as rising sales, expanding margins, and increasing returns on capital. The select few that can do all three for many years are often the ones that make you life-changing money.

It’s clear there’s a strong connection between sustained earnings growth and hall-of-fame returns. Taking that into account, here are three market-beating stocks that could turbocharge your returns.

Tecnoglass (TGLS)

Five-Year Return: +1,506%

The first-ever Colombian company to trade on the NASDAQ, Tecnoglass (NYSE: TGLS) is a manufacturer of architectural glass, windows, and aluminum products.

Why Does TGLS Stand Out?

1. Annual revenue growth of 17.5% over the past five years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
2. Healthy operating margin of 27.3% shows it’s a well-run company with efficient processes, and it turbocharged its profits by achieving some fixed cost leverage
3. Earnings growth has trumped its peers over the last five years as its EPS has compounded at 43.6% annually

Tecnoglass’s stock price of $88.16 implies a valuation ratio of 21.2x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.

Comfort Systems (FIX)

Five-Year Return: +1,151%

Formed through the merger of 12 companies, Comfort Systems (NYSE: FIX) provides mechanical and electrical contracting services.

Why Is FIX a Top Pick?

1. Average backlog growth of 30.5% over the past two years shows it has a steady sales pipeline that will drive future orders
2. Earnings per share grew by 67.6% annually over the last two years and trumped its peers
3. Improving returns on capital reflect management’s ability to monetize investments

At $501.25 per share, Comfort Systems trades at 26.9x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Valmont (VMI)

Five-Year Return: +182%

Credited with an invention in the 1950s that improved crop yields, Valmont (NYSE: VMI) provides engineered products and infrastructure services for the agricultural industry.

Why Do We Like VMI?

1. Operating profits and efficiency rose over the last five years as it benefited from some fixed cost leverage
2. Earnings per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last two years, increasing by 18.7% annually
3. Free cash flow margin grew by 7.9 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more chips to play with

Valmont is trading at $324.70 per share, or 17.5x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
