Steady, income-generating stocks can be ideal for one investor, whilst high growth potential and a strong track record may be appealing for others. There are many different factors to consider when making your own personalized investment decisions. I’ve put together a list of stocks that meet or exceed expectations in two or more aspects, causing them to be attractive investments for any investor.
Computacenter plc (LSE:CCC)
Computacenter plc, through its subsidiaries, provides IT infrastructure services in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Belgium. Founded in 1981, and currently headed by CEO Mike Norris, the company employs 13,373 people and with the stock’s market cap sitting at GBP £1.25B, it comes under the small-cap category.
CCC’s ability to grow its earnings in the past at 43.11%, beating the it industry’s growth of 23.24%, paints an buoyant picture for the company. CCC has sufficient cash and investments to meet its upcoming liabilities, and its debt is adequately covered by its operating cash, which indicates its strong financial position. In addition, CCC has been able to reinvest its profits, as well as pay some out as dividends, which has been impressively growing over the past decade. More on Computacenter here.
The Character Group plc (AIM:CCT)
The Character Group plc designs, develops, and distributes toys, games, and gifts the United Kingdom, the Far East, and internationally. Started in 1991, and headed by CEO Kirankumar Shah, the company employs 193 people and with the company’s market capitalisation at GBP £97.71M, we can put it in the small-cap category.
CCT’s upcoming commitments are met by its short-term assets, and its total debt is well-covered by its cash flows, demonstrating financial stability and good capital management. CCT’s shares are now trading at a price below its true value based on its discounted cash flows, as well as its relative price-to-equity valuation, which gives investors an opportunity to accumulate the stock at a low price. Additionally, CCT’s consistent dividend payout, which has grown over a long period of time, gives the stock its reputation for being one of the best dividend payers in the market.
