WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR? Stocks with good earnings growth are getting harder and harder to come by, as the U.S. economy slows and the Canadian dollar bites into U.S. sales for some Canadian companies. Today we'll look for Canadian stocks that have the strongest outlook for earnings and revenue growth based on consensus expectations from analysts. TODAY'S SCREEN We'll use the screening tool available from Thomson One Analytics. We'll look for stocks that have at least 20-per-cent expected revenue and share profit growth for this year and next. We'll add a minimum market capitalization of $250-million so that we turn up some new, up-and-coming names that you might not have heard of before. We'll rank stocks by the greatest expected profit growth for next year. We'll also throw in price-to-earnings ratios so that you can get a feel for how expensive these stocks are. SO WHAT DID WE TURN UP? We ran this same screen back in May and some of the same companies are still on the list, such as Orca, Calvalley, Horizon North, Hanfeng, Eldorado, ZCL Composites, Sierra Wireless, Gildan Activewear and Marsulex.
