According to MotleyFool.com, InvestorPlace.com, Jubak’s Journal, Cramer, and FortuneMagazine.com these are the most attractive stocks to own in 2009. Compare the sales growth priced-in to justify the current stock price (VE Sales Growth) to what the company has achieved in revenue growth over the last five years (5 Year Median Sales Growth) to see if what’s priced-in is a reasonable number for the company to meet or exceed expectations. Couple the expectation information with AFG’s ranking for a stock’s attractiveness relative to the universe (Value Score AFG) to find companies that we find attractive on a default basis that also have low expectations for growing sales compared to what they have delivered the past 5 years. Companies with High Value Score’s and low sales growth expectations will be the companies on this list that are more likely to out-perform.
