They're Up 400%: 2 Profitable Stocks to Buy Now for Strong Returns
Investors tend to favor companies that generate solid returns after covering all operating and non-operating costs. As a result, businesses with consistent profits are mostly more appealing than those running at a loss. To assess profitability, investors rely on accounting ratios that capture the most common measures of a company’s bottom-line performance.
With that in mind, Micron Technology, Inc. and Vicor Corp. emerged as the top profitable picks, backed by robust net income ratios and significant upside potential. Incidentally, Micron and Vicor’s shares have soared 520.6% and 415.7%, respectively, over the past year.
Net Income Ratio Explained: What It Means for Investors
The net income ratio indicates a company’s exact profitability level. It reflects the percentage of net income relative to total sales revenues. Using the net income ratio, one can determine a firm’s effectiveness in covering operating and non-operating expenses from revenues. A higher net income ratio usually implies a company’s ability to generate sufficient revenues and manage all business functions effectively.
\Here are two of the 16 stocks that qualified for the screening:
Micron Technology
Micron Technology is a global provider of memory and storage products. The 12-month net profit margin of MU is 41.5%.
Vicor
Vicor develops and sells modular power components and systems that convert electrical power for electronic devices across global markets. VICR’s 12-month net profit margin is 26.2%.
