Fastest-growing microcaps

Topics: Uncategorized

Every year, Fortune Small Business publishes the FSB 100, its list of America’s Fastest-Growing Small Public Companies. To slice and dice the list, I copied it into a spreadsheet, added the ticker symbol and market cap. for each entry (source: Yahoo! Finance) and calculated a price/sales ratio. The FSB 100 surprisingly had a number of companies with market caps exceeding $1 billion. I was more interested with the smaller companies, so I sorted by market cap. and eliminated the largest. Here are all of the companies on the list with market caps of less than $300 million:
