Last time I was screening top yielding stocks among S&P500 components and this time I run my fundamental stock screen for growth stocks. I set as a criteria "Estimated earnings growth for next 5 years" to be at least 25% per year. There are 18 companies with such a projected growth. For better picture I've also added P/E ratio and share price return on yearly and quarterly basis.

Investing strategy based on strong projected EPS growth shows following results. S&P 500 index is yearly down by -18% and average return for selected stocks is up by 20%. On quarterly basis S&P 500 down by -9% and again beaten by growth stock with average return -2%.

    My point is that the investing strategy betting on high growing stocks is successful.

    If you're going to look at, for example, the gain of these stocks over the last year, then you need to know what the 5-year-growth estimates were for them a year ago, not what it is today. They may have gone up in the past year because the estimates have gone up (Massey Energy comes to mind), in which case it's not surprising that those with high estimates also have high growth in the past year.

    I like Oil Producers, especially the above mentioned SWN. I did some research on them and though they went down a lot in July, SWN is close to a bottom and represents a buying opportunty. Here's a pretty good analysis of nat gas producers: www.greenfaucet.com/tr....
    The other recommends SWN, RRC, NFX, and HK so that opens up a few more opportunities for people looking to follow that route.
