If you're looking to add some growth to your portfolio, here are some ideas to get started on your stock search.
Based on the theoretical assumption that if P/E is equal to a constant K, growth in EPS estimates should be matched by proportionate growth in price. When they don't match up, a mispricing may have occurred. We screened for tech stocks exhibiting this mismatch between changes in EPS estimate and price.
We also screened for high-growth stocks, with 5-year projected EPS growth above 20%.
