NVIDIA & 2 Other Profitable Stocks to Buy in February

February has traditionally been a less-than-bullish month for stocks. However, things have improved since the 1990s, with stocks ending in the green more frequently in February. Thus, investors can benefit from the possible upward trajectory by focusing on profitable stocks over unprofitable ones and using fundamental accounting ratios as the key indicators of performance. We have selected the most successful and commonly used profitability ratio to evaluate a company’s performance. To that end, NVIDIA Corporation NVDA, AppLovin Corporation APP and Insulet Corporation PODD have been selected as the top picks with a high net income ratio.Net Income RatioThe net income ratio shows a company’s profitability level. It reflects the percentage of net income to total sales revenues. Using the net income ratio, one can determine a firm’s effectiveness in meeting operating and non-operating expenses from revenues.
