Interested in oil and gas drilling stocks? Do you prefer stocks that pay back
their investors with dividend income? Do you prefer stocks that analysts rate as
"Buy," or better? Looking for ways to dig deeper into a company's profitability?
Keeping this idea in mind, we ran a screen you might be interested in.
EPS growth (earnings per share growth) illustrates the growth of earnings per share over time. EPS growth rates help investors identify stocks that are increasing or decreasing in profitability. This profitability metric is generally a key driver in the price of the stock as it directly correlates to the profitability of the company as a whole.
The Operating Profit Margin is a profitability ratio that measures the effectiveness of the company's operating efficiency. This metric allows investors to see how much profit is left after all variable costs are covered. If the company's margin is increasing over time this means that it's earning more per dollar of sales. Finding trends in the Operating Profit Margin helps investors identify companies that are improving profitability over time and managing the economic landscape better than competitors.
We first looked for oil & gas drilling stocks with a very high yield (more than 5%). We then screened for businesses that analysts rate as "Buy" or "Strong Buy" (mean recommendation < 3). We then looked for businesses that have shown strong bottom line growth over the last year (1-year fiscal EPS growth rate>10%)(1-year operating margin>15%). We did not screen out any market caps.
Do you think these stocks hold solid value? Use this list as a starting-off point for your own analysis.
