1/ Great ideas for int'l (non-US) stocks came up when @TMFInnovator asked and I thought I would run quick screens using @ycharts for further investigating.

Specifically looking at: $ACN $BABA $BZUN $CNSWF $JD $JMIA $LK $LVMHF $MELI $NPSNY $SE $SHOP $SIEGY $STNE $TAL $TCEHY $UL
2/ Of the above, these are the companies w/the highest revenue growth (when excluding $LK).

$SE $MELI $STNE $SHOP $BABA
3/ When you throw $LK on that chart, the revenue growth is so high it just dwarfs the other stocks and, with the data so recent, it just makes the chart just look silly. (Note to self: Investigate $LK closer).
4/ Now let's look for the companies with the highest free cash flow yield.

The top 5 we get for this metric are $SIEGY $JD $UL $ACN $BABA
5/ Let's look at EPS growth, something not all of these companies will even show.

Top five: $BABA $SIEGY $TAL $BZUN $CNSWF
6/ When screening for gross margin, Constellation Software just makes you want to drool.

Top 5: $CNSWF $STNE $SHOP $TAL $MELI
7/ After looking at gross margin though, I like following it up w/ operating margin. Can give a different perspective and, perhaps, shows a truer state of affairs. At least shows companies that have already reached real profitability.

Top 5: $TCEHY $CNSWF $BABA $ACN $SIEGY
8/ Let's look at a few more valuation metrics.

Here are the companies w/ the lowest P/S ratios: $JD $SIEGY $BZUN $UL $ACN
9/ And companies on this list with the lowest P/E ratios: $NPSNY $UL $SIEGY $BABA $ACN
10/ These kinds of quick screens help me prioritize what to study first. They do not tell me what from this list will make good investments and I would never buy or sell based solely on this data.

Again, really impressed with how @ycharts makes these screens so easy to run.
11/ Also, recognize these aren't all apples-to-apples comparisons. These companies are spread across different sectors and countries and are at different stages in their life cycle. All of that needs to be taken into account when looking at these metrics!
12/ One of the things that makes #fintwit so great is the sharing of these ideas. Thanks to @TMFInnovator for asking this question. I loved all the responses!
@TMFInnovator 13/ And just minutes after posting, I already want to add $OCFT which Puru just generously shared about. Fintwit can almost be like drinking from a fire hose sometimes!

@TMFInnovator 14/ My first impression after running these screens?

How impressive is Alibaba? Its numbers are just unreal. Made 5 of the 8 above charts, including growth (e.g revenue, EPS), valuation (e.g. free cash flow yield, P/E ratio), and operating margin charts.

Long $BABA
