The list below highlights Warren Buffett stocks like Cadencee Design Systems (CDNS), Lululemon, Veeva, Pool stock and PayPal that are in sync with his focus on management quality and long-term growth.

-20% or greater sustainable growth.

Rating Potential Oracle Of Omaha Stocks

While using different criteria than used for this list of Warren Buffett stocks, PYPL, POOL and CDNS stock all earn a passing score in Stock Checkup for their 95 or higher Composite Ratings.

But some of the stocks on this list do not have a 95 or higher Composite Rating. Plus, others do not meet some certain benchmarks CAN SLIM investors typically look for in the other IBD SmartSelect Ratings that gauge a company’s fundamental, as well as technical, strength.

Ranging from 1 (worst) to 99 (best), the Composite Rating reveals how strongly a company is showing the seven telltale traits of winning stocks. For example, a rating of 95 means the company is outperforming 95% of all other stocks in terms of the most important fundamental and technical stock-picking criteria.

The EPS Rating tracks a company’s annual and quarterly earnings growth, then measures how its numbers stack up against those of all other stocks. So just like the Composite Rating, a score of 95 means the company’s EPS growth is in the top 5% of all stocks.

The SMR Rating tracks sales growth, profit margins and return on equity as a whole. An A rating means the company is in the top 20% of all stocks in terms of those key fundamental performance metrics. Since it ties in with the legendary investor’s focus on a company’s fundamentals, this can be a particularly useful rating for investors looking for potential Warren Buffett stocks.
