Let’s answer the question: Why does Profitable Growth matter? We did a study to find out!

Global universe of stocks

  • 27,000 global companies over 20 years, 1997-2016
  • Removed financial companies, 23,500 non-financial companies remained
  • We removed 4,000 stocks that did not have the financial statement data needed for the study
  • We only included large companies, market capitalization greater than $500 million
  • We eliminated extreme outliers, excluded stocks that had a price rise of more than 500% or a loss of worse than negative 80% in any one year
  • This left us with, on average, 4,500 stocks per year, minimum = 1,500 and maximum = 8,400
