Context & Realistic Expectations
A 1,000% rise (a 10x return) is extremely rare and cannot be predicted or guaranteed by any screen or model. What we can do is tilt the search toward stocks that historically have characteristics associated with big multi-bagger moves: smaller size, high growth, higher risk/volatility, and significant upside according to current analyst targets. The filters below are designed with that in mind.
Screening Filters
Market Cap: 300M – 5B USD ('market_cap': {'min': '300000000', 'max': '5000000000'})
- Purpose: Focus on smaller to mid-sized companies that are still large enough to be established but small enough to have room for explosive growth.
- Rationale:
- Very large companies (tens or hundreds of billions in market cap) rarely go up 10x, because they’re already mature and widely followed.
- Microcaps below ~$300M can be too illiquid, risky, or easily manipulated, and their fundamentals/filings can be less reliable.
- The $300M–$5B band targets “up-and-comer” companies that may have strong business momentum and enough potential runway to multiply in value, while still being reasonably established.
High Beta / High Risk ('beta': ['HighRisk'])
- Purpose: Select stocks that move more than the overall market, both up and down.
- Rationale:
- Beta measures volatility relative to the market. A “HighRisk” or high beta stock tends to have larger price swings.
- A 10x return almost always comes from a volatile stock. Low-volatility, defensive names very rarely deliver 1,000% gains.
- By accepting high beta, the screener explicitly searches in the more speculative, higher-upside, higher-downside part of the market where a 10x move is at least conceivable.
U.S. Major Exchanges ('list_exchange': ['XNYS', 'XNAS', 'XASE'])
- Purpose: Limit results to U.S.-listed stocks on major exchanges: NYSE (XNYS), NASDAQ (XNAS), and NYSE American (XASE).
- Rationale:
- The user requested “a stock in the US market,” and these are the core U.S. exchanges.
- Major exchange listing standards help filter out the least reliable or opaque listings (e.g., some OTC/pink-sheet names), balancing the search for big upside with some minimum level of reporting quality, liquidity, and governance.
Quarterly Revenue YoY Growth ≥ 40% ('quarter_revenue_yoy_growth': {'min': '40'})
- Purpose: Find companies currently growing their top-line (revenue) very rapidly year-over-year.
- Rationale:
- Sustained high revenue growth is a common feature of stocks that eventually become multi-baggers.
- A minimum of 40% YoY quarterly revenue growth is aggressive; it screens out slow or modest growers and keeps only those showing strong near-term momentum.
- This raises the likelihood that the business itself is expanding quickly enough to potentially justify large valuation gains over time.
5-Year Revenue CAGR ≥ 25% ('revenue_5yr_cagr': {'min': '25'})
- Purpose: Ensure the company’s growth is not just a one-quarter spike but part of a multi-year trend.
- Rationale:
- CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) over 5 years measures how fast revenue has grown on average each year.
- A threshold of 25%+ over five years is very demanding: it indicates a consistent growth trajectory rather than a one-off jump.
- Multi-year high growth suggests the company has a strong business model or secular tailwinds, which are often prerequisites for a 10x outcome over the long term.
Analyst Target Price Above Current Price ('target_price_upside_potential': ['MoreAbovePrice'])
- Purpose: Include only stocks where the consensus analyst target implies meaningful upside from the current price.
- Rationale:
- While analysts are often conservative and far from perfect, a target substantially above the current price indicates that at least some professionals see undervaluation or further growth ahead.
- This filter removes names where Wall Street expects limited or negative upside, focusing on those with a perceived positive risk/reward profile.
- For a user looking for potential big winners, it’s logical to exclude stocks where the professional consensus already sees little room to run.
Why These Results Match Your Goal
- They’re U.S.-listed, aligning with your “US market” requirement.
- They’re small to mid-cap, high-beta stocks, which are far more likely (though still not guaranteed) to deliver very large returns than giant, stable blue chips.
- They show both strong recent growth (≥40% YoY quarterly) and sustained multi-year growth (≥25% 5-year CAGR), traits consistent with companies that can compound value dramatically over time.
- They have analyst targets implying further upside, suggesting that current fundamentals could support higher valuations.
These filters do not ensure a 1,000% gain, but they intentionally concentrate on the part of the market where such outsized moves are at least plausible, given the combination of size, risk profile, and growth characteristics.
