While accurately predicting the direction the consumer goods market is headed may take nothing less than a crystal ball, a smart investor can mitigate their risks by finding well-positioned, well-run companies and focusing their investments there. The Small-Cap Stars system helps identify just such companies by looking at past small-cap consumer goods companies that offered big returns, creating a profile of those companies by plugging dozens of specific fundamental metrics into a complex statistical regression, and then identifying which companies in the current market most resemble those previous success stories prior to their big gains.
Among other traits, our screen determined that high levels of cash as a percentage of total assets and a high net income trailing twelve months were key factors in predicting the success of small-cap consumer goods companies.
