US Multi-Bagger Candidates — High Growth + High ROCE Stocks on NYSE & NASDAQ

About This Screen

A multi-bagger — a stock that returns a multiple of your original investment over time — is every long-term investor's goal. While no screen can guarantee such outcomes, research into historical multi-baggers consistently reveals a common fingerprint in the years before the big price moves: high and accelerating revenue growth, strong and expanding earnings growth, and capital returns — measured by ROCE — that are well above the market average. This screen uses precisely these three metrics to identify today's companies that most closely match the quantitative profile of historical multi-baggers at their inflection points, typically three to five years before their peak prices.

Three simultaneous filters define this screen. Revenue growth must exceed 15% year-over-year — this threshold separates genuine high-growth businesses from the typical US company growing at 5–8% annually. Earnings growth must also exceed 15%, confirming that revenue expansion is translating into genuine bottom-line acceleration rather than being consumed by rising costs. ROCE must exceed 20%, establishing that the business is deploying its capital at exceptional efficiency — a prerequisite for the self-funding compounding loop that characterises the best long-term wealth creators. All three conditions must be met simultaneously; meeting two out of three does not qualify.

The most important characteristic separating a genuine multi-bagger candidate from a statistically lucky screen result is the durability of the growth. Revenue growth that has been consistently above 15% for three or more years is far more predictive than a single year of high growth. Similarly, ROCE that has been stable or improving over multiple years is far more compelling than a single high reading that may reflect a one-time accounting benefit. When you find a company meeting all three criteria across multiple consecutive years, you are looking at a rare business worthy of deep fundamental analysis.

Market capitalisation matters significantly in multi-bagger hunting. The mathematical reality is that a company with a $100 billion market cap can rarely be a 10-bagger in five years — it would require becoming the most valuable company in the world. Smaller companies — mid-cap and below — have far more room to multiply their value as they grow into larger addressable markets. This screen includes all market caps so investors at different risk levels can identify candidates appropriate to their portfolio strategy. Results refresh daily from StockSifting's live database.
