Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:IBKR) brings you across the globe

Finally, Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:IBKR) is a global electronic broker that offers its services on more than 100 electronic exchanges including in Canada, England, Switzerland, Hong Kong, India, Australia and Japan. Trading at a price-to-earnings multiple of 19.6, the stock is placed at the upper range of its 52-week trading range of $12.74 to $15.24.

However, future earnings visibility makes the earnings multiple drop considerably to 12.9. PE growth of approximately 1.8 and a no-debt balance sheet are other positives with the stock. At the same time, its price is only a 19% premium on the book value, while price-by-sales ratio indicates a discount of 35%. The company also has a decent dividend yield of 2.7%, which is expected to at least continue in the future, if not grow.

Overall, these high growth stocks are good fit for a growth-oriented portfolio, but may be selling at slightly high prices, as is the case with Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:IBKR).

Foolish bottom line

A market-wide correction after the recent rally may be in the cards, which can potentially make these stocks look even more attractive.
