Growth stocks to invest in

Screening Filters

1. region: ['United States']

   • Purpose: Limit results to companies based in or primarily operating in the U.S.
   • Rationale: You specifically asked for growth stocks in the US market, so this ensures we’re not pulling international names, even if they’re listed on U.S. exchanges.

2. list_exchange: ['XNYS', 'XNAS', 'XASE'] (NYSE, Nasdaq, AMEX)

   • Purpose: Focus on major U.S. stock exchanges.
   • Rationale: The primary venues for U.S. growth stocks are NYSE and Nasdaq (and to a lesser extent AMEX). This:
     • Ensures liquidity (easier to trade in and out).
     • Excludes OTC/pink sheet stocks, which are often riskier, less transparent, and not typical “core” growth holdings for most investors.

3. market_cap: {'min': '5000000000'} (Minimum $5 billion)

   • Purpose: Screen out very small and micro-cap stocks, leaving mid- and large-sized companies.
   • Rationale:
     • Many investors seeking growth stocks to invest in want a balance of strong growth and some degree of business maturity and stability.
     • A $5B+ market cap removes many speculative small caps and focuses on companies that:
       • Have proven business models.
       • Are more likely to have analyst coverage and institutional ownership.
       • Typically have better reporting standards and stronger balance sheets.

4. market_cap_category: ['large', 'mid']

   • Purpose: Further emphasize mid-cap and large-cap growth names.
   • Rationale:
     • Mid caps: Often a sweet spot for growth investors—companies that have moved past the most fragile early stage but still have plenty of runway.
     • Large caps: Can still be strong growers (think leading tech or consumer names) but with more established operations.
     • Together with the $5B minimum, this aligns with a “quality growth” profile rather than high-risk micro-cap speculation.

5. revenue_5yr_cagr: {'min': '15'}` (5-year revenue CAGR ≥ 15%)

   • Purpose: Identify companies with a strong, sustained top-line growth trajectory.
   • Rationale:
     • “Growth stock” fundamentally means growing the business, and revenue is the clearest measure of that.
     • A 15%+ compound annual growth rate over 5 years is a robust threshold that:
       • Filters out slow or stagnant businesses.
       • Captures companies consistently expanding their sales, not just a one-year spike.

6. eps_5yr_cagr: {'min': '15'}` (5-year EPS CAGR ≥ 15%)

   • Purpose: Ensure that earnings per share are also growing meaningfully over time.
   • Rationale:
     • Strong revenue growth alone is not enough; a high-quality growth company should also be improving profitability per share.
     • A 15%+ EPS CAGR over 5 years indicates:
       • Growing earnings, not just sales.
       • Some combination of margin expansion, operating efficiency, or smart capital allocation.
     • This helps focus on scalable growth businesses rather than companies that grow revenue but chronically lose money.

7. quarter_revenue_yoy_growth: {'min': '20'}` (Most recent quarter revenue YoY ≥ 20%)

   • Purpose: Confirm that recent growth is still strong, not just historical.
   • Rationale:
     • A company might have grown quickly in the past but is now slowing.
     • Requiring ≥ 20% year-over-year revenue growth in the latest quarter ensures:
       • The company’s growth story is current and ongoing.
       • You’re not just picking former growth stocks that have matured into slower growers.

Why Results Match Your Request

• The U.S.-only region and major U.S. exchanges directly match your requirement for growth stocks in the US market.
• The market cap filters (≥ $5B, mid & large cap) steer you toward more established, investable growth names, which are more suitable for most investors than tiny speculative stocks.
• The 5-year revenue and EPS CAGR filters (≥ 15%) ensure you’re looking at companies with proven multi-year growth, both in sales and earnings—core characteristics of true growth stocks.
• The recent quarterly revenue growth filter (≥ 20% YoY) ensures that these aren’t just “used to be growth” stories; they are currently growing rapidly.

Together, these filters are designed to surface U.S.-listed, mid- and large-cap companies with strong, consistent, and still-ongoing growth, which aligns closely with what investors typically mean by “growth stocks in the US market.”
