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 would 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 USD10 billion.
Exactly 13 stocks fulfilled these criteria of which 9 technology stocks pay dividends – 8 have a buy or better recommendation.
