Companies that consistently increase their sales, margins, or returns on capital are usually rewarded with the best returns, and those that can do all three for years on end are almost always the legendary stocks that return 100 times your money.

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

FTAI Aviation (FTAI)

Five-Year Return: +661%

With a focus on the CFM56 engine that powers Boeing and Airbus’s planes, FTAI Aviation (NASDAQ: FTAI) sells, leases, maintains, and repairs aircraft engines.

Why Are We Backing FTAI?

1. Annual revenue growth of 44.9% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
2. Incremental sales significantly boosted profitability as its annual earnings per share growth of 73.8% over the last two years outstripped its revenue performance
3. Cash burn has decreased over the last five years, showing the company is becoming a more self-sustaining business

FTAI Aviation is trading at $114.20 per share, or 19.8x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

OSI Systems (OSIS)

Five-Year Return: +219%

With security scanners deployed at airports and borders worldwide and patient monitors used in hospitals across the globe, OSI Systems (NASDAQ: OSIS) designs and manufactures specialized electronic systems for security screening, patient monitoring, and optoelectronic applications.

Why Are We Fans of OSIS?

1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 18.5% annual revenue growth over the last two years was exceptional
2. Earnings growth has massively outpaced its peers over the last two years as its EPS has compounded at 27.4% annually
3. Rising returns on capital show the company is starting to reap the benefits of its past investments

At $216.75 per share, OSI Systems trades at 21.5x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.

Itron (ITRI)

Five-Year Return: +97.8%

Founded by a small group of engineers who wanted to build a more efficient way to read utility meters, Itron (NASDAQ: ITRI) offers energy and water management products for the utility industry, municipalities, and industrial customers.

Why Does ITRI Stand Out?

1. Operating margin increased by 11.6 percentage points over the last five years as it refined its cost structure
2. Incremental sales over the last two years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 98.7% annually, topping its revenue gains
3. Free cash flow margin grew by 5.3 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more chips to play with

Itron’s stock price of $137 implies a valuation ratio of 24.9x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
