- Strong Net Income Growth
- Net Income YoY Growth Rate > 15%
- Large Market Capitalization
- Market Capitalization > $1 billion
- Reasonable Valuation
- P/E Ratio < 25
- Sector is Cybersecurity
However, there are no stocks that meet all these criteria. Therefore, we should consider relaxing some of these criteria or directly replacing the criterion with zero or a small number of eligible stocks.
We can consider stocks that have a market capitalization greater than $1 billion, are in the cybersecurity sector, and have a P/E ratio under 25. This screening yielded four stocks1:
