I have been a customer of Stockopedia’s for several years and am happy to be able to tell Stockopedia readers how I use the system to discover investment opportunities.
The Stockopedia product is driven by a comprehensive database of corporate account statements. It is a dream for investors who prioritise a company’s corporate performance in their investment decision-making process
The Stockopedia system enables stock-pickers to seek out investments based on almost any financial criteria. For example, growth investors can simply screen for companies that have delivered year-on-year earnings growth for at least, say, five years. Income investors can filter on dividend yield and growth etc.
I credit Stockopedia with helping me discover some of my most successful recent investments. Good examples include Robert Wiseman Dairies (which popped up on a yield filter around one month before its takeover), T Clarke, Barclays and my one AIM-quoted shareholding, Begbies Traynor (up35% plus dividends so far).
To demonstrate the value of the system I have run two investment screens through Stockopedia to highlight some of the best companies on AIM.
- market capitalisation > £25m
- dividends growing year-on-year for at least 3 years
- average annual EPS growth > 5% per annum over the last five years
- average annual sales growth > 5% per annum over the last five years
- sales increasing year-on-year for the last three years at least
- average annual per share dividend growth > 5% per annum over
- the last five years
- EPS forecast to grow by at least 5% for the next year
Only fourteen AIM companies pass all of the tests. They are:
