The best-performing stocks typically have robust sales growth, increasing margins, and rising returns on capital, and those that can maintain this trifecta year in and year out often become the legends of the investing world.

It’s clear there’s a strong connection between sustained earnings growth and hall-of-fame returns. Keeping that in mind, here are three market-beating stocks that could turbocharge your returns.

Federal Signal (FSS)

Five-Year Return: +221%

Developing sirens that warned of air raid attacks or fallout during the Cold War, Federal Signal (NYSE: FSS) provides safety and emergency equipment for government agencies, municipalities, and industrial companies.

Why Will FSS Outperform?

1. Annual revenue growth of 12.3% over the past five years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
2. Projected revenue growth of 15.4% for the next 12 months is above its two-year trend, pointing to accelerating demand
3. Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 27.9% outpaced its revenue gains

At $114.54 per share, Federal Signal trades at 25.2x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.

Five-Year Return: +83.7%

With over $100 billion in assets under management and supervision, Hamilton Lane (NASDAQ: HLNE) is an investment management firm that specializes in private markets, offering advisory services and fund solutions to institutional and private wealth investors.

Why Do We Love HLNE?

1. Annual revenue growth of 22.1% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
2. Incremental sales over the last two years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 28.4% annually, topping its revenue gains
3. Stellar return on equity showcases management’s ability to surface highly profitable business ventures

Hamilton Lane’s stock price of $146.87 implies a valuation ratio of 25.5x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free for active Edge members .

BGC (BGC)

Five-Year Return: +123%

Tracing its roots back to 1945 and named after founder Bernard Gerald Cantor, BGC Group (NASDAQ: BGC) operates a global brokerage and financial technology platform that facilitates trading across fixed income, foreign exchange, equities, energy, and commodities markets.

Why Does BGC Stand Out?

1. Impressive 18.7% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
2. Additional sales over the last two years increased its profitability as the 20.9% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue
3. Management team has demonstrated it can invest in profitable ventures through its 11.2% five-year return on equity

BGC is trading at $9.14 per share, or 6.9x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
