May Growth Stock Picks

In this article:

Stocks that are expected to significantly grow their profitability in the future can add meaningful upside to your portfolio. Constellation Software and Vecima Networks are examples of many high-growth stocks that the market believe will be upcoming outperformers. The list I’ve put together below are of stocks that compare favourably on all criteria, which potentially makes them a good investment if you believe the growth has not already been reflected in the share price.

Constellation Software Inc. (TSX:CSU)

Constellation Software Inc., together with its subsidiaries, engages in the development, installation, and customization of software to various markets in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe, and internationally. Founded in 1995, and currently lead by Mark Leonard, the company provides employment to 14,335 people and with the market cap of CAD CA$19.48B, it falls under the large-cap stocks category.

CSU’s projected future profit growth is a robust 13.44%, with an underlying 36.31% growth from its revenues expected over the upcoming years. An affirming signal is when net income increase is supported by top-line growth. Since net income isn’t artificially inflated by one-off initiatives such as cost-cutting, we know this profit growth is more likely to be sustainable. This prospective profitability should trickle down to shareholders, with analysts expecting the company to generate a high double-digit return on equity of 69.01%. CSU ticks the boxes for robust growth generation on all levels of line items, which makes it an appealing stock to dig into deeper. Considering CSU as a potential investment?
