Investors who want the highest possible returns buy stocks of rapidly growing, dominant companies with sustainable competitive advantages. With that in mind, I used our new CAPS screening tool to find some potential market-beaters in the tech sector, a prime hunting ground for great growth stocks. Below you'll find five tech companies with trailing-three-year earnings growth of 25% or more.
They also have:
- Market caps greater than $300 million.
- At least 300 active Motley Fool CAPS picks.
- Four- or five-star ratings from our CAPS community.
Remember, in the first year for which we have data, CAPS' four- and five-star companies outperformed the overall market with respective gains of 19% and 28%.
