47 Quality Stocks with Incredible Metrics

Some stocks are really above others

In this article, I want to share with you 47 stocks with incredible metrics. Some of them are the core of my investment strategy.

This type of stock tends to outperform others. Of course, their huge growth, profitability and great balance sheet often have a downside: they are expensive. As always, finding the good entry point is the key. A portfolio with only these beasts is a possibility, even if I prefer more diversification.

Here are the characteristics of these stocks:

• Good growth. Average: 13.2% revenue CAGR / 15.1% net profit margin CAGR

• High net profit margin. Average: 26.4%

• High ROIC. Average: 33.4%

These stocks are from 11 countries: US, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, France, Australia, UK, Italy, Poland, Finland and Germany. Small, Mid and Big caps

Of course, this is not investment advice.

At the end of the article, you will find a table where it will be easy to compare all the stocks.

And without further ado, let’s begin this great list!
