Earlier this week, one of those Fools, All-Star joryko, succinctly summed up the Inteliquent bull case for our community:

Still debt-free, holding $3 per share in cash and slowly but surely growing revenues and EPS. 7.6 Price to Cash Flow and a [PEG ratio] around 1 gives Inteliquent solid upside potential over the next few years. Looking to grow the top line about 10% this year and improve EPS with it down the road.

If you want market-topping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite its five-star rating, Inteliquent may not be your top choice.
