RealMoney picks HQ Sustainable Maritime (HQS)

RealMoney contributor John Reese is out with an article highlighting HQ Sustainable Maritime (Amex:HQS) as an agricultural stock to watch.  The piece echoes many of the thoughts discussed here in September, when I posted that HQ Sustainable Maritime looks attractive.

With a market cap of only about $50 million, HQ is a micro-cap stock, which means it may be more susceptible to volatility than larger firms. It is growing quickly, though — the firm’s long-term EPS growth rate is about 25% (based on the average of the four- and five-year EPS figures), and its sales have been growing at almost 65% over the past five years. The firm’s performance has garnered strong interest from my Lynch-based model. HQ’s P/E ratio is just 10.36, which, in combination with that 25% long-term growth rate, makes for a P/E/G ratio of just 0.41. That falls into the best-case category of the Lynch model’s most important test, a sign that this fast grower is selling on the cheap.
