The Globe and Mail attempts to identify Canadian small-cap and mid-cap stocks with strong earnings and price momentum in its Thursday, Nov. 20, edition. The Globe's Craig McGee writes in the Number Cruncher column that he employed the services of CPMS to help find his stock market picks. To make his determination on winning stocks Mr. McGee looked at return on equity, quarterly earnings momentum (or QEM, which equals the percentage change between the latest four quarters earnings and four quarters earnings from the previous quarter). As well, Mr. McGee watched for any earning surprises for the latest quarter. The Globe writer also considered consensus earnings estimate revisions over the past 90 days. Finally, Mr. McGee's picks had to have positive price momentum over the past year. Mr. McGee's small-cap to mid-cap picks with strong earnings and price momentum are Cipher Pharmaceuticals, Intertape Polymer Group, Richmont Mines, Strad Energy Services, Great Canadian Gaming and Arsenal Energy.
