Profitable Growth Stocks

The 2021-2022 tech crash revealed the danger of growth-at-any-cost investing. Many companies growing 50%+ annually had no path to profitability. When capital markets tightened, they couldn't fund operations and collapsed 70-90%. Profitable growth stocks prove the business model actually works: revenues convert to real earnings, not just user counts. These companies can self-fund expansion, survive market downturns without desperate fundraising, and don't face existential risk from rising interest rates. This screen requires both 10%+ revenue growth AND 10%+ net margins, a rare combination that indicates quality growth.

GARP (Growth at a Reasonable Price) is an investment strategy blending growth and value principles, seeking companies with above-average growth but not overvalued. Legendary investors like Peter Lynch championed this approach. This screen embodies GARP philosophy: we filter for 10%+ revenue growth (growth), require profitability with 10%+ net margins (quality), and minimum Stock Scores help avoid overvaluation. Pure growth investors might chase 50% growers trading at 100x sales; pure value investors might buy stagnant companies at 8x earnings. GARP investors (and this screen) seek the middle ground of growth with discipline.

The law of large numbers makes sustained high growth increasingly difficult. A $100M company can realistically grow 30% annually; a $100B company growing 30% would add $30B in revenue, matching entire industry sizes. Historical data shows companies averaging 20%+ growth over 10+ years are rare. This screen uses 10% as the minimum (roughly double GDP growth), which is ambitious but sustainable for quality businesses. Watch for decelerating growth in recent quarters, which may signal a company reaching maturity. The combination of growth with profitability suggests these companies have found product-market fit and defensible positions.

Scores update in real-time as prices change and when new financial data arrives. Green (4-5) indicates strength, yellow (3) is neutral, red (1-2) signals caution.
