5 Stocks with Strong Sales Growth Worth Investing In Now

Sales growth is a major financial indicator, which is often neglected by investors while searching for a profitable investment strategy.  As the present market scenario is marked by changing customer preferences and habits, evolving needs, demographic changes and an extremely competitive environment, maintaining stable sales growth is vital for any company.

Companies are always looking for ways to boost revenues. Notably, revenues are often more closely monitored than earnings when assessing growth potential of a business.

It’s worth keeping in mind that in cases when companies incur a loss, albeit temporarily, they are valued on the basis of revenues, as top-line growth (or decline) is an indicator of a company’s future earnings performance.

So, the Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio can turn out to be an appropriate metric for valuing any company’s worth. It remains a major stock selection criterion as management usually has limited opportunities to manipulate revenues, unlike earnings.

Sales growth in isolation, however, does not assure success. A consideration of a company’s cash position along with its sales number can be a more dependable strategy. Substantial cash in hand and steady cash flow give a company more flexibility with respect to business decisions and investments.
