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.
Long story short, there is a near-perfect correlation between consistent earnings growth and huge winners. Taking that into account, here are three market-beating stocks that could turbocharge your returns.
Tractor Supply (TSCO)

RBC Bearings (RBC)
Five-Year Return: +186%
With a Guinness World Record for engineering the largest spherical plain bearing, RBC Bearings (NYSE:RBC) is a manufacturer of bearings and related components for the aerospace & defense, industrial, and transportation industries.
Why Do We Watch RBC?

- Exciting sales outlook for the upcoming 12 months calls for 14.7% growth, an acceleration from its two-year trend
- Highly efficient business model is illustrated by its impressive 20.2% operating margin, and its rise over the last five years was fueled by some leverage on its fixed costs

- Sound unit economics and 33.7% gross margin allow for higher marketing and R&D budgets versus competitors
- Earnings growth has massively outpaced its peers over the last two years as its EPS has compounded at 22.6% annually
