10 top stocks for FY 2018

As a share market investor it’s important to remember that markets are forward looking and as such focus will now be turning to how certain companies can perform in FY 2018 or the period from July 1 2017 to 30 June 2018.

Of course identifying how companies will perform that far out is no easy task. However, those on reasonable valuations that beat current expectations are likely to deliver share price growth over a 12 to 24-month period. Investors then need to look to company’s with decent balance sheets and the ability to deliver solid revenue, profit, and dividend growth in FY 2018.

Below I name 10 companies that I expect might do well due to a mix of factors including their market opportunities, expected growth rates, competitive positions and current valuations. Please note though some of these companies are of a speculative nature and therefore may be best left on the watch list for FY 2018, rather than as part of an investment portfolio.

1. Corporate Travel Management Ltd (ASX: CTD) recently reported a strong profit report with its CEO flagging a potentially strong FY 2018 ahead. I’d have to agree with the CEO and think this stock looks a buy at $19.30 given its growth rates and outlook.

Sorry, cannot name the other 9 without the post being deleted.
