Quick Note on “Likely to Experience Significant Growth”
It’s not possible to know with certainty which specific stocks will experience strong gains this year. What we can do is narrow the universe to companies whose fundamentals and price behavior historically align with higher growth potential. The filters below are designed to do exactly that.
Screening Filters
market_cap: min = 1,000,000,000 (≥ $1 billion)
- Purpose: Focus on established, liquid companies instead of tiny, risky micro-caps.
- Rationale:
- Stocks under $1B market cap can be extremely volatile, thinly traded, and more easily manipulated.
- Companies above this threshold are usually more mature with better disclosure, governance, and institutional coverage.
- For “significant growth this year,” you want a balance: enough size to reduce extreme risk, but still room to grow.
list_exchange: [XNYS, XNAS, XASE] (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American)
- Purpose: Restrict results to primary US exchanges for “US stocks.”
- Rationale:
- These are the main US equity markets, matching your request for US stocks.
- Listing requirements (reporting standards, minimum capitalization, etc.) tend to be stricter than OTC markets, improving data quality and investability.
- Higher liquidity and tighter spreads make it more practical to enter and exit positions as trends develop.
ytd_price_change_pct: min = 0 (non‑negative year-to-date performance)
- Purpose: Ensure the stock is not in a clear negative trend so far this year.
- Rationale:
- Stocks that are already down significantly YTD may be in structural decline, facing fundamental or sentiment problems.
- Requiring at least flat or positive YTD performance tilts you toward names where the market is not currently pricing in worsening prospects.
- Positive or stable price action can indicate underlying strength and investor willingness to pay higher prices—a precondition for “significant growth.”
revenue_5yr_cagr: min = 5 (≥ 5% compound annual revenue growth over 5 years)
- Purpose: Target companies with a proven multi‑year growth track record.
- Rationale:
- Sustained revenue growth is a core driver of long‑term stock appreciation.
- A minimum 5% CAGR over five years filters out stagnating or shrinking businesses and selects for structurally growing firms.
- This aligns directly with your interest in stocks “likely to experience significant growth,” since strong top-line expansion is often a prerequisite for robust earnings and multiple expansion.
quarter_revenue_yoy_growth: min = 0 (non‑negative year-over-year quarterly revenue growth)
- Purpose: Confirm that recent business momentum is at least stable or positive.
- Rationale:
- A company can have good long‑term history but be currently rolling over.
- Requiring non‑negative YoY quarterly revenue growth helps avoid companies where recent performance is deteriorating.
- Stocks with both long-term and recent revenue growth have a stronger fundamental case for continued appreciation in the coming year.
Why the Results Match Your Goal
- US-focused: Limiting to NYSE/NASDAQ/NYSE American ensures you’re looking at genuine US-listed stocks, in line with your request.
- Established but still capable of growth: The $1B+ market cap filter keeps you out of the riskiest micro/nano caps, while still leaving plenty of mid‑cap and large‑cap growth candidates.
- Fundamental growth orientation:
- 5‑year revenue CAGR ≥ 5% + non‑negative YoY quarterly revenue growth = a bias toward companies with enduring and current growth in their business.
- Positive or stable market sentiment:
- Non‑negative YTD price performance screens out many names that the market is actively punishing, focusing on stocks where sentiment and momentum are at least neutral to positive.
Together, these filters don’t guarantee that any given stock will “experience significant growth” this year, but they systematically tilt your list toward US companies that combine:
- Solid size and liquidity,
- Consistent multi‑year and recent revenue growth, and
- Non‑negative price momentum—
all of which historically increase the probability (not certainty) of stronger stock performance.
