   S&P 500                                      SPX                                                6.7%                                      14.0%         22.6           1.16%

A very high projected EPS growth rate might reflect one-time events during the current year. For example, International Paper (IP) is expected to report a profit of 26 cents a share for 2025 because of expenses from mill closings and other strategic actions. The company earned $1.57 a share in 2024, and EPS is expected to come in at $2.09 in 2026 and rise to $2.98 in 2027.

Among the 20 companies, four of them trade at forward P/E ratios below those of the S&P 500 while having projected growth rates for revenue and EPS higher than that of the index. These are Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH), Trade Desk (TTD), Block (XYZ) and GoDaddy (GDDY).

Even with some extra data, a stock screen is a limited snapshot. If you see any stocks of interest, you should do your own research to form your own opinions about how competitive the companies might remain over the long term.
