5 Top Ranked Stocks with Strong Sales Growth

With the commencement of third-quarter earnings, investors are picking stocks based on earnings strength. However, while it is easy to manipulate the bottom line through cost-cutting measures, sales growth comes in handy in gauging a company’s future financial performance.

Top line is the vital parameter for understanding a company's health and ability to sustain its business. It provides investors an insight into product demand and pricing power. The main advantage is that sales figures are generally not manipulated and are less volatile than earnings.

Sales growth is a key measure for any company, as it is important for earnings projections and strategic decision making. Without top-line growth, bottom-line improvement may not be sustainable in the long term.

Focusing solely on sales growth is not enough though. A healthy sales growth rate is certainly a positive indicator for picking good stocks, but it does not ensure profits. Hence, taking into consideration a company’s cash position along with its sales number can be a more dependable strategy.

Substantial cash on hand and a steady cash flow give a company more flexibility with respect to business decisions and potential investments. Cash also enables a company to endure market downturns. Most importantly, a sufficient cash position indicates that revenues are being channelized in the right direction.
