3 Market-Beating Stocks to Research Further
Stocks that outperform the market usually share key traits such as rising sales, expanding margins, and increasing returns on capital. The select few that can do all three for many years are often the ones that make you life-changing money.
It’s clear there’s a strong connection between sustained earnings growth and hall-of-fame returns. Keeping that in mind, here are three market-beating stocks with room for further growth.
Broadcom (AVGO)
Five-Year Return: +632%
Originally the semiconductor division of Hewlett Packard, Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) is a semiconductor conglomerate spanning wireless communications, networking, and data storage as well as infrastructure software focused on mainframes and cybersecurity.
Why Should You Buy AVGO?
- Annual revenue growth of 38% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
- Earnings per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last five years, increasing by 29.8% annually
- Robust free cash flow margin of 43.2% gives it many options for capital deployment
Broadcom’s stock price of $355.09 implies a valuation ratio of 19.8x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Dating back to 1792 when Boston's Long Wharf was the center of global shipping and trade, State Street (NYSE:STT) provides custody, investment management, and other financial services to institutional investors like pension funds, asset managers, and central banks worldwide.
