Here's Why You Should Add FMC Stock to Your Portfolio Now

<p>Investors seek growth stocks to capitalize on above-average growth in financials that help these securities grab the market&#39;s attention and produce exceptional returns. But finding a great growth stock is not easy at all.</p>
<p>That&#39;s because, these stocks usually carry above-average risk and volatility. In fact, betting on a stock for which the growth story is actually over or nearing its end could lead to significant loss.</p>
<p>However, it&#39;s pretty easy to find cutting-edge growth stocks with the help of the Zacks Growth Style Score, which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company&#39;s real growth prospects.</p>
<p><strong>Axalta Coating Systems</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/axta#NYSE">AXTA</a>) is one such stock that our proprietary system currently recommends. The company not only has a favorable Growth Score, but also carries a top Zacks Rank.</p>
<p>Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And returns are even better for stocks that possess the combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy).</p>
<p>While there are numerous reasons why the stock of this high-performance coating system maker is a great growth pick right now, we have highlighted three of the most important factors below:</p>
<h2>Earnings Growth</h2>
<p>Arguably nothing is more important than earnings growth, as surging profit levels is what most investors are after. For growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is highly preferable, as it is often perceived as an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.</p>
<p>While the historical EPS growth rate for Axalta Coating Systems is 1.3%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company&#39;s EPS is expected to grow 31.5% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 13.7%.</p>
<h2>Impressive Asset Utilization Ratio</h2>
<p>Asset utilization ratio -- also known as sales-to-total-assets (S/TA) ratio -- is often overlooked by investors, but it is an important indicator in growth investing. This metric shows how efficiently a firm is utilizing its assets to generate sales.</p>
<p>Right now, Axalta Coating Systems has an S/TA ratio of 0.73, which means that the company gets $0.73 in sales for each dollar in assets. Comparing this to the industry average of 0.7, it can be said that the company is more efficient.</p>
<p>While the level of efficiency in generating sales matters a lot, so does the sales growth of a company. And Axalta Coating Systems looks attractive from a sales growth perspective as well. The company&#39;s sales are expected to grow 2.2% this year versus the industry average of 0.7%.</p>
<h2>Promising Earnings Estimate Revisions</h2>
