AVGO Cover Image

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.

Long story short, there is a near-perfect correlation between consistent earnings growth and huge winners. On that note, here are three market-beating stocks with room for further growth.

Broadcom (AVGO)

Five-Year Return: +701%

Originally the semiconductor division of Hewlett Packard, Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) is a semiconductor conglomerate spanning wireless communications, networking, and data storage as well as infrastructure software focused on mainframes and cybersecurity.

Why Do We Love AVGO?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 27.6% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
  2. Offerings are difficult to replicate at scale and lead to a best-in-class gross margin of 75.8%
  3. Impressive free cash flow profitability enables the company to fund new investments or reward investors with share buybacks/dividends

Broadcom’s stock price of $251.15 implies a valuation ratio of 34.7x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Impinj (PI)

Five-Year Return: +270%

Founded by Caltech professor Carver Mead and one of his students Chris Diorio, Impinj (NASDAQ: PI) is a maker of radio-frequency identification (RFID) hardware and software.

Why Does PI Catch Our Eye?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 11.9% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
  2. Incremental sales significantly boosted profitability as its annual earnings per share growth of 49.5% over the last five years outstripped its revenue performance
  3. Free cash flow margin increased by 23.7 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders

Impinj is trading at $104.11 per share, or 65x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.

Stock Yards Bank (SYBT)

Five-Year Return: +93.6%

Founded in 1904 in Louisville and named after the city's historic livestock market district, Stock Yards Bancorp (NASDAQ: SYBT) operates a regional bank providing commercial banking, wealth management, and trust services across Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio.

Why Is SYBT on Our Radar?

  1. Annual net interest income growth of 17.3% over the past four years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
  2. Additional sales over the last two years increased its profitability as the 4.5% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue
  3. Industry-leading 13.2% return on equity demonstrates management’s skill in finding high-return investments

At $74.04 per share, Stock Yards Bank trades at 2.1x forward P/B. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
