3 Highly-Ranked Stocks With Stellar Growth Prospects

The market’s performance has been stellar as of late. After a rough start in the first half, investors have undoubtedly welcomed the rally with open arms. The ongoing war in Ukraine, rising costs, and a hawkish Fed have all been components of the dark fiscal cloud hovering above us.

With buyers reappearing, a few highly-ranked stocks with excellent growth prospects that could take off include Titan International TWI, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing TSM, and The Chefs’ Warehouse CHEF.

Below is a year-to-date chart of all three companies while blending in the S&P 500 as a benchmark.

All three companies sport the highly-coveted Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). Let’s take a closer look at each company’s growth prospects and a few other aspects a little closer.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing TSM, the world’s largest circuit foundry, is responsible for supplying microchips globally to an elite list of companies, including Nvidia NVDA and Advanced Micro Devices AMD.

The company has stellar growth prospects, and analysts have been bullish across all timeframes over the last 60 days.

TSM is forecasted to generate a mighty $78 billion in revenue in FY22, penciling in a rock-solid 37% year-over-year uptick. And in FY23, the top-line looks to add an additional 15%. Below is a chart illustrating the company’s revenue on an annual basis.

Bottom-line projections are also rock-solid; the Zacks Consensus EPS Estimate of $6.30 for FY22 reflects a massive 53% year-over-year increase in earnings. Furthermore, the bottom-line looks to tack on a respectable 3.5% in FY23.

TSM’s valuation levels sit enticingly as well. Its 14.2X forward earnings multiple is nowhere near its five-year median of 19.9X and represents a steep 42% discount relative to its Zacks Sector.

For the current fiscal year, the company’s bottom-line is projected to skyrocket – the Zacks Consensus EPS Estimate of $2.19 pencils in a staggering 157% triple-digit year-over-year uptick. And in FY23, the bottom-line is forecasted to expand an additional 5.3%.

In addition to inspiring growth prospects, the company also rocks solid valuation levels. Titan’s 0.4X forward P/S ratio resides on the low side and represents a deep 81% discount relative to its Zacks Sector.

The Chefs’ Warehouse

The Chefs' Warehouse CHEF is a distributor of specialty food products in the United States, focused on serving the specific needs of chefs who own and/or operate restaurants, fine dining establishments, country clubs, hotels, caterers, culinary schools, and specialty food stores.

Like TSM and TWI, analysts have substantially raised their earnings outlook across all timeframes.

Look out, as the Zacks Consensus EPS Estimate for FY22 of $1.36 reflects a mind-boggling 2,820% year-over-year bottom-line expansion. The next fiscal year’s earnings are forecasted to climb an additional double-digit 16%.

Of course, the growth doesn’t stop there – CHEF is forecasted to generate a strong $2.5 billion in revenue throughout FY22, good enough for a rock-solid 40% year-over-year uptick. And in FY23, the revenue projection of $2.7 billion pencils in an additional 10% uptick.

CHEF’s forward price-to-sales ratio resides at 0.5X, just below its five-year median value of 0.6X. Still, the value represents a deep 93% discount relative to its Zacks Sector. In addition, the company sports a Style Score of a B for Value.
