Companies have good and bad quarters every now and then.

That’s why you must seek out numerous signals of a healthy company.

The A in CAN SLIM stands for Annual Earnings Increases.

You are seeking out big growth in annual earnings.

Look for companies that have increased annual earnings per share of at least 25% year over year for at least the last three years.

Look for an ROE of at least 20%.

Concentrate on stocks with proven records of significant earnings growth in each of the last three years plus strong recent quarterly improvements.
