  • More than 10% revenue growth is expected for the coming year 8.9% failed
  • Share count grows by less than 3% a year 18.1% failed
  • Revenue growth plus cash-flow margin add up to at least 40 ("Rule of 40") 20.7% failed
  • Gross margin at 40% or higher and without meaningful erosion 49.7% passed
  • Goodwill from acquisitions does not grow faster than revenue 3.4% passed
  • Net debt below twice EBITDA 0.8 x EBITDA passed
  • Operating cash flow covers the profits of the last three years 115 m passed
  • Return on capital at 15% or higher, or up versus two years ago 14.0% passed
  • Insiders hold at least 10% or are net buyers 2.5% failed

A criterion without figures counts neither as passed nor as failed; a score is only produced from 7 judgeable criteria upwards. Source: fundamental data. All ten criteria in detail

What Do These Terms Mean?
EPS (Earnings Per Share):
Quarterly profit divided by the total share count — how much of the profit works out to a single share.
YoY (Year over Year):
Change versus the same quarter a year ago — this is how you compare without seasonal distortion (e.g. the holiday shopping season).
Sales:
All revenue for the quarter, before any costs are deducted — the top line of the income statement.
Net Margin:
What percentage of sales is left over as profit in the end. Negative means the company is posting a loss.
OCF (Operating Cash Flow):
The cash that actually flows into the till from the core business during the quarter — harder to dress up than book profit.
FCF (Free Cash Flow):
Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures — the money that's genuinely free to use, say for paying down debt, buybacks, or dividends.
