20 stocks of S&P 500 companies showing the fastest sales growth
MarketWatch's Brett Arends covered research showing that a combination of looking back at companies' increases in sales and earnings, along with spending on research and development, led to significant outperformance when compared with the broad stock market over a period of more than 54 years. Arends interviewed Rob Arnott, founder and chair of Research Affiliates, who explained that a strategy of stock selection and portfolio management focused on the abovementioned factors, with portfolios updated annually, had outperformed a broad market index by wide margins over the decades. Mortgage rates plunge to 10-month low, opening window of opportunity for house hunters 'She lives alone': My mother-in-law, 86, gets $1,300 in Social Security. Is that enough to live on? Parents are draining money from retirement accounts and home equity to pay for college. They should do this for their kids instead. Gold prices are soaring again. Here's why a new record could be right around the corner. Here's the case against a September rate cut — and why the Fed could stay on hold until 2026 The above article includes links to the detailed research results. While the ideal process Arnott cited would involve several factors, the reports included average total return information for the individual factors. For example, a portfolio selected based only on the highest rolling five-year increases in sales per share had an average annual return of 12.2% from March 1969 through December 2024, while a broad index of the 'top 1,000 firms by market capitalization' would have had an average annual return of 10.6%. So we decided to apply this simple screen to the S&P 500 SPX. The Research Affiliates report specifically cited sales per share, so we looked back at the companies' past six full fiscal years to show five-year growth rates for sales per share. Then for additional information that might be of use to readers researching individual stocks, we looked ahead at projected sales-per-share growth rates for the current and following two fiscal years. Here are the 20 stocks in the S&P showing the highest compound annual growth rates for sales or revenue per share over the past five full fiscal years: Company Ticker Five-year SPS CAGR Moderna Inc. MRNA 115.3% Nvidia Corp. NVDA 64.1% Coinbase Global Inc. Class A COIN 55.1% DoorDash Inc. DASH 55.0% CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. Class A CRWD 48.2% Block Inc. XYZ 30.2% Super Micro Computer Inc.

LULU 23.0% Palantir Technologies Inc. PLTR 22.1% Source: FactSet An important part of the stock-selection strategy discussed by Arnott was that the list of selected stocks would be a rolling one, based on continual updates of sales-per-share figures. What we have above is a snapshot based on the companies' sales per share over the past five full fiscal years. So let's look ahead using consensus estimates among analysts polled by FactSet to see what type of sales growth pace may be in store for these companies. Leaving the group in the same order, here are projected SPS CAGR from the most recent completed fiscal year, market year zero, through the next three fiscal years. This time we are showing the estimates for each year, so you can see how SPS is expected to grow at a more modest pace for most of the companies, or even to decline: Company Ticker 3-year estimated sales CAGR SPS – year zero Est.

MRNA tops the first list for sales-per-share CAGR over the past five full fiscal years, reflecting its quick development of an mRNA vaccine for COVID-19, which led the company's sales to balloon during 2021 and 2022. Looking ahead, the company's annual sales are expected to trough this year before resuming a slower growth pace next year. Moderna reported its quarterly results on Friday, after announcing 800 layoffs on Thursday. Here's a look at how the company has been burning through cash. Apollo Global Management Inc. APO and KKR & Co. KKR are also expected to show a decline in SPS this year, before revenue increases again. Any stock screen is based on a limited set of data.

13MP: Malaysia to adopt free market model, lead region by 2040, says Economy Ministry
KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 — Malaysia will continue to progress as a developed nation based on its definition and values, embracing a free market system, becoming a top global investment destination, and leading the regional market by 2040. According to the 13th Malaysia Plan Report (2026-2030), themed 'Redesigning Development', this success stems from a shift towards a more diverse economy that enables high-value product output across global value chains. 'This transition also offers fair opportunities for skilled local talent to boost productivity with progressive wages,' the Economy Ministry said in the report. It added that Malaysia's industries are recognised for producing advanced technologies developed through locally led research, development, commercialisation, and innovation. The government plays a responsive and facilitative role in strengthening the economic ecosystem, enabling all economic agents to operate efficiently. It also sets clear, consistent, and strategic policies and directions to guide stakeholders in making aligned decisions towards national development goals. 'The government is also responsible for ensuring comprehensive, integrated, and high-quality infrastructure and public facilities to support business, society, and public needs,' the five-year strategy document said. Government support, such as financing, incentives and targeted programmes will continue to be improved to ensure inclusivity and address economic disparities. Meanwhile, Malaysian companies are enhancing their capacity and competitiveness globally and are venturing into new high-potential industries. 'They actively collaborate with research institutions and investors to produce disruptive products and services that generate high value,' the report adds. Employers offer fair, progressive wages, foster worker-friendly environments, and invest early in identifying and developing talent and skills to improve workforce productivity. Individuals and communities also play a vital role in creating an inclusive economy by participating actively in economic activities and supporting local businesses. Individuals are seen as future-ready human capital who strive to contribute their skills and energy across sectors. They are strategic thinkers who seek and create opportunities through entrepreneurship to generate value, income, and wealth. 'Communities act as change agents, sharing responsibility in cultivating a culture of innovation and supporting local economic activity,' the report concludes. — Bernama
