Micron & 2 More Profitable Stocks to Buy Now for Big Gains

Investors should prioritize companies that generate strong returns after accounting for operating and non-operating expenses. As a result, profitable businesses are more attractive than those operating at a loss. To assess profitability, analysts rely on accounting ratios, with the most widely used measure being the net income ratio, which evaluates a company's bottom-line performance.

To that end, Micron Technology, Inc., Ralph Lauren Corp. and Modine Manufacturing Co. have been selected as the top profitable picks because of their high net income ratios and strong upside potential.

Using the net income ratio, one can determine a firm's effectiveness in meeting operating and non-operating expenses from revenues.
