Hunting for Stocks with Rising EPS

I had a pretty good response in my previous article about hunting for stocks in Singapore that managed to increase/maintain their dividends in the last 10 years:

I thought we could apply a similar principle to earnings-per-share (EPS). 

So I applied the criteria below to see if any stocks in Singapore satisfies:

• Managed to increase or maintain its EPS for the last 10 years

I found none. Kosong.

So I lowered the criteria to:

• Managed to increase or maintain its EPS for the last 5 years

Again I found none.

Finally, I lowered the criteria to:

• Managed to increase or maintain its EPS for the last 3 years

Now I found 3 stocks that satisfied the criteria, shown below:

MicroMechanics

They design and manufacture innovative tools used in the production and testing of semiconductor devices, including integrated circuits (ICs). MicroMechanics plays a vital role in enabling the development and manufacturing of cutting-edge electronics by providing high-precision equipment that ensures the quality and reliability of semiconductor components.
