5 Stocks with Solid Sales Growth to Counter Market Volatility

At present, one must consider the changing market backdrop and chalk out an investment strategy to help generate robust returns. Markets are bearing the brunt of macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties.

Amid such bearish investor sentiments, a conventional stock picking strategy is useful. One such way is selecting stocks with robust sales growth. So, stocks like BorgWarner, Inc., Carlisle Companies Inc., Valley National Bancorp, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. and Waste Management Inc. are worth a look.

One should keep in mind that sales growth is one of the primary factors for the long-term success of any company. Continuous growth in sales holds the key to the survival of any business. Sales growth not only provides insight into product demand and pricing power but is also important for growth projections and strategic decision-making.

It should be kept in mind that in case a company incurs a loss (although temporarily), it is valued on its revenues as top-line growth (or decline) is usually an indicator of its future earnings performance. Also, the absence of sales growth indicates that the company’s market share is not improving. Hence, some sustained sales growth is required to support the bottom line.

Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio can be a suitable metric for stock valuation. The importance of the metric lies in the fact that management has limited opportunities to manipulate revenues, unlike earnings.

Yet, a huge sales number does not necessarily convert into profits. Hence, it is more prudent to consider a company’s cash position along with its sales number. Substantial cash in hand and a steady cash flow lend a company more flexibility with respect to business decisions and investments.

Here are five of the 30 stocks that qualified the screening:
