Explanation

"EPS (Earnings Per Share) growth" over the past five years indicates a company's consistent profitability trajectory. A positive growth suggests the company has been effectively increasing its earnings. An "operating margin" and "net operating margin" both above 10% highlight the firm's efficiency in turning revenue into profit before other expenses and taxes. A "return on equity" over 15% showcases that the company has been adept at generating returns using shareholders' equity. A "debt to equity" ratio under 0.5 signals that the firm leans more on equity than debt for its capital, hinting at a sturdy financial foundation. Lastly, a "price to free cash flow" under 15 often suggests the stock might be undervalued relative to the free cash it generates.

In essence, companies meeting these criteria are exhibiting both strong financial health and potential undervaluation.
