What companies are tomorrow's big winners? In our ongoing series, I'm chatting with Fool analysts and advisors to find out the stocks they're watching. Today, Motley Fool analyst Dan Dzombak shares four companies he loves that are on his watchlist.

Sweet returns
When he made his way through the Fool's Analyst Development Program, Dan learned many lessons about the brilliance of Warren Buffett and he sought to find companies similar to those in the Oracle's portfolio. Dan landed upon Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, which shared a product -- if not quite a business model -- with See's Candy. In fact, founder Frank Crail would have bought a See's franchise if they were available. Today, microcap Rocky Mountain Chocolate offers franchises and is beloved by fudge aficionados and investors alike (49 of 51 players who rated it on Motley Fool CAPS expect it to outperform the market). But as with all four of these companies, Dan's going to watch for a while -- with a P/E of higher than 15, the share price is a little rich for his taste.
Costco
As much as Dan admires Costco's business, it pales in comparison to the enthusiasm he has for TransDigm
And Dan finds the position of Philip Morris International
