3 Market-Beating Stocks for Long-Term Investors

Companies that consistently increase their sales, margins, or returns on capital are usually rewarded with the best returns, and those that can do all three for years on end are almost always the legendary stocks that return 100 times your money.

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 with room for further growth.

Amphenol (APH)

Five-Year Return: +364%

With over 90 years of connecting the world's technologies, Amphenol (NYSE:APH) designs and manufactures connectors, cables, sensors, and interconnect systems that enable electrical and electronic connections across virtually every industry.

Why Should You Buy APH?

1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 29.7% annual revenue growth over the last two years was exceptional
2. Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 40.2% outpaced its revenue gains
3. Robust free cash flow margin of 15% gives it many options for capital deployment, and its rising cash conversion increases its margin of safety

Kinsale Capital Group (KNSL)

Five-Year Return: +108%

Founded in 2009 during the aftermath of the financial crisis when many insurers were retreating from riskier markets, Kinsale Capital Group (NYSE:KNSL) is an insurance company that specializes in writing policies for hard-to-place, unusual, or high-risk businesses that standard insurers typically avoid.

Why Is KNSL a Good Business?

1. Market penetration was impressive this cycle as its net premiums earned expanded by 23.8% annually over the last two years
2. Annual book value per share growth of 41.8% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting strong capital accumulation this cycle

2. Underwriting operating profits increased over the last five years as the firm gained some leverage on its fixed costs and became more efficient
