Armin's Stock Selection

HURN makes a difference ?

I empowered Huron Consulting Group Inc. (NASDAQ: HURN) position few days ago following Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results:
Revenues of $118.3 million for Q2 2007 increased 74.5% from $67.8 million in Q2 2006.
Diluted earnings per share for Q2 2007 were $0.56 compared to $0.36 in Q2 2006.

But, for what reasons HURN takes part in my portfolio?

Huron Consulting Group Inc. is an independent provider of financial and operational consulting services. The company provides its services through two segments: Financial Consulting and Operational Consulting. The Financial Consulting segment (57% of 2005 revenues) provides services that help clients effectively address complex challenges that arise from litigation, disputes, investigations, regulation, financial distress and other sources of significant conflict or change.
The company's strengths, such as its robust revenue growth, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, notable return on equity and expanding profit margins telling me a story of a quality stock. HURN is a company that exhibit both a high earnings yield and high revenue growth and as such is generally more attractive.
