Every time, I am searching for the best investment opportunities
at the market. The year goes by and I have to consider ideas for
the next year. Today, I like to focus on technology, a field that
is very underweighted in my private portfolio. I am looking for
growth stocks with cheap price ratios and high-quality margins.
That's why I screened the technology sector by stocks with a
forward P/E ratio of less than 15, a sales growth over the past
five years of more than 10 percent as well as an operating margin
above 10 percent. In order to exclude low capitalized stocks, the
market capitalization should be over USD 10 billion.
Exactly
thirteen stocks
fulfilled these criteria of which nine technology stocks pay
dividends - Eight have a buy or better recommendation.
