The Canada growth stocks on our list are in the Software/Internet Services sector and are trading below their peer average
SmallCapPower | March 24, 2017: Today we have identified some Canada growth stocks that compete in the Software and Internet Services space. Many of these industry participants are debt free, as there are no significant capital expenditures. Another advantage of the software industry is reoccurring sales from a subscription-based model. Once a client chooses to use your software, they are unlikely to switch, having already invested time and effort learning how to use it. This means annual contract renewals with virtually no selling costs. Having said that, the five tech stocks on our list are trading well-below their industry peer average EV/sales multiple of 2.8x, and may be undervalued.
