What It Finds
Companies with profit growth above 100% across both the three-year and five-year windows, sales growth above 25%, ROE above 15%, debt-to-equity under 0.5 — and still priced under PE 20 with a PEG below 1.
Why It Works
Most growth screens set the bar at 20–25%. This one demands triple-digit profit growth over two separate windows, which filters out companies that had one exceptional year. The sales growth condition is what makes it credible — profit can be doubled through margin expansion or a low base, but sustained revenue growth above 25% means the business is genuinely larger. Holding all that while trading under PE 20 with PEG below 1 is rare, and when it happens it usually means the market has not caught up to the earnings yet.

Things to Watch Out For
- Triple-digit growth over three years is often a low-base effect — check what the starting year actually looked like
- Very few companies pass all seven conditions; the result set is small and can be empty in weak markets
- Growth at this rate almost never sustains — the mathematical reality is mean reversion
- Results skew heavily toward small and micro caps, with the liquidity and governance risks that brings
- Hot-sector names cluster here (renewables, EV, defence) where growth is cycle-driven rather than structural
- PEG relies on historical growth continuing, which is exactly what tends not to happen after a doubling
After Running the Screen
- 1Check each company's annual report and latest quarterly results.
- 2Verify the current valuation is reasonable — not just passing the screen.
- 3Look for insider ownership and promoter pledge levels.
- 4Always invest only what you can afford to hold for 3+ years.
About Growth Investing
Growth investing is about identifying companies at a fundamental inflection point — where revenue and profit are accelerating simultaneously. The critical distinction is quality of growth: revenue growth alone could mean buying market share at a loss (burning cash). Profit growth alone could be margin engineering. Both growing together at 20–25%+ over 3–5 years means the business is genuinely expanding with improving unit economics.
Quarterly acceleration is an even earlier signal. When a company's most recent quarterly growth (YoY) exceeds its trailing 3-year CAGR, it means the business is speeding up — an inflection the annual numbers won't fully show for another 2–3 quarters. Combined with high ROCE and strong operating margins, accelerating growth companies often re-rate dramatically in the 12–24 months after the inflection becomes undeniable.
