3 Growth Stocks Retail Investors Are Watching For Stronger Earnings

Europe’s services sector is still expanding, with the latest Euro Area services PMI at 51.7 in August 2026. That points to ongoing demand even as inflation stays above target. Investors looking for companies that analysts expect to grow earnings over the next 3 years may see this as a useful backdrop. This article highlights 3 stocks from the Healthy high growth potential screener that fit that theme.

The stocks below are just a starting sample from this Healthy high growth potential idea. The full screen surfaced 30 more companies with equally compelling narratives that are not covered here. If you want to identify and analyze those opportunities in more detail, head straight to the Healthy high growth potential screener.

RentGuarantor Holdings (AIM:RGG)

RentGuarantor Holdings runs a UK based online platform that acts as a rental guarantor and offers related digital services such as tenant referencing, rent guarantee insurance and landlord onboarding. This directly links it to the Healthy high growth potential theme, as these products can scale with rental market and proptech adoption. The group currently generates all its £4.8 million of revenue from internet information provider activities in the United Kingdom. RentGuarantor Holdings has a market cap of about £110.3 million.

For investors drawn to high growth themes, RentGuarantor Holdings offers a focused proptech rental guarantor and insurance platform that is already showing an improving earnings profile, with H1 2026 revenue of £3.39 million and a move from a loss to a modest profit. Guidance that EBITDA has turned positive on a monthly basis highlights the potential scale of the model as the UK rental market digitises, although there is meaningful risk from a high P/S multiple, reliance on external borrowing and past dilution. If the company continues to strengthen profitability while managing funding and governance issues, the story could become much more interesting from here.

RentGuarantor Holdings is already shifting from losses to profit. Yet the real story is how far that earnings engine might run as the model scales. Get the fuller picture in the analyst forecasts for RentGuarantor Holdings

Anglo Asian Mining (AIM:AAZ)

Anglo Asian Mining runs producing gold, silver and copper mines in Azerbaijan, which is the direct link to the Healthy high growth potential theme as these metals are the main driver of analysts’ multi year earnings expectations. The company generated about $123 million of revenue from mining operations, all in Azerbaijan, and has a market cap of roughly £469 million.

Investors looking at Anglo Asian Mining are getting a pure play on gold and base metal production that has already moved from losses to a profit, with analysts expecting strong earnings and revenue growth over the next few years backed by output from Gedabek and Gilar. The latest full year numbers show $122.79 million of sales and $17.68 million of net income, plus a proposed $0.04 dividend. This points to cash generation as well as growth. The flip side is that the company relies entirely on external borrowing and carries a relatively high P/E, so a lot rests on production and cost trends that will be in focus at the upcoming H1 2026 results.

Anglo Asian Mining’s earnings story is already shifting. Yet the real question is how solid that $122.79 million revenue, $17.68 million profit and proposed $0.04 dividend look once you unpack the 2 key rewards and 1 important warning sign

Metals Exploration (AIM:MTL)

Metals Exploration plc is a London based miner that identifies, acquires, explores and develops gold and other precious and base metal projects. Its 100% owned Runruno gold project in the Philippines is the clearest link to the Healthy high growth potential theme. The company currently generates all of its roughly $208 million of revenue from gold and other precious metals, sourced entirely from operations in the Philippines, and it has a market cap of about £477 million.

Metals Exploration offers direct exposure to a producing gold business through the Runruno mine and the newly secured Batong Buhay copper gold project. Profit margins are in the mid teens and the business still carries funding risk because it relies on external borrowing, while its P/E of 22.5x sits well above the sector average. Investors may want to monitor how effectively the team executes on Runruno, proves up Batong Buhay and manages returns and debt, as these factors will be important in assessing the company beyond the headline metrics.

Metals Exploration’s mid teens margins and £477 million market cap suggest a story that many investors may not have fully priced in yet. The real twist sits inside the analyst forecasts for Metals Exploration
