The best-performing stocks typically have robust sales growth, increasing margins, and rising returns on capital, and those that can maintain this trifecta year in and year out often become the legends of the investing world.

It’s clear there’s a strong connection between sustained earnings growth and hall-of-fame returns. Taking that into account, here are three market-beating stocks that could turbocharge your returns.

Booking (BKNG)

5-Year Return: +198%

Formerly known as The Priceline Group, Booking Holdings (NASDAQ:BKNG) is the world’s largest online travel agency.

Why Will BKNG Outperform?

1. Room Nights Booked have increased by an average of 13.6% annually, giving it the potential for margin-accretive growth if it can develop valuable complementary products and features
2. Share repurchases over the last three years enabled its annual earnings per share growth of 60.1% to outpace its revenue gains
3. Robust free cash flow margin of 33% gives it many options for capital deployment, and its improved cash conversion implies it’s becoming a less capital-intensive business

Booking’s stock price of $5,007 implies a valuation ratio of 18.5x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
