Buy These 5 Stocks with Impressive Sales Growth Right Away

Investors often fail to consider sales growth as a dependable metric when it comes to picking stocks. This might be because of their preconceived notion that a company’s stock price is typically sensitive to its earnings momentum. However, betting on stocks completely depending on such a perception may not prove worthwhile.

It must be kept in mind that in cases when companies incur a loss, albeit briefly, they are valued on the basis of revenues, and not earnings, as top-line growth (or decline) is usually an indicator of a company’s future earnings performance. Notably, in contrast with price to earnings and price to book value ratios, which can turn negative and cease to be relevant, the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is available even for firms that have hit choppy waters.

Also, a company can improve earnings by resorting to cost control measures while maintaining stable revenues. However, superior profits could be achieved through steady revenue growth.

A huge sales number does not necessarily convert into profits. So, considering a company’s cash position along with its sales number can prove to be more prudent. Substantial cash in hand and a steady cash flow lend a company more flexibility with respect to business decisions and investments.
