\"PFE<\/a> Here is one of several stocks for consideration. Kohl’s Corporation (KSS) keeps popping up on screens for quality growth companies. Kohl’s operates 669 family-oriented specialty department stores in virtually all areas of the U.S. except the Pacific Northwest and Florida. It sells name-brand merchandise with emphasis on value pricing. The fundamentals look good for Kohl’s with a projected average return over the next five years of 16.2%. Value Line rates Kohl’s financial strength “A” and earnings predictability 85 (out of 100). Value Line also projects revenue growth at 17%. Kohl’s has an RQR quality rating of 80.4. See annotated stock selection guide<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Different analysts have different expectations for Kohl’s. For example, the First Call analysists’ consensus for the 5-year earnings growth rate is 19.2%. In contrast, Morningstar only gives Kohl’s a mediocre rating. MS rates Kohl’s with three star and puts it’s fair value at $51.00 (below its current price of $55.63.) MS has assumed 12% revenue growth. The attached SSG assumes 17% based on the Value Line estimate. (Note: PAR on the SSG would drop to 11.2% with 12% sales growth.) More interesting are MS’ bull and bear comments.<\/p>\n
