How We Build This List

Revenue Growth TTM: 30%–300%Top 5–8% velocity tier. 300% cap removes base-effect artifacts from tiny-revenue companies.
EPS Growth TTM: 30%–500%Earnings must match revenue velocity — proves margin leverage, not just top-line buying.
Net Margin ≥ 0% (Profitable)Must be profitable. Eliminates growth-at-any-cost names that collapse when capital dries up.
Revenue Growth 3Y ≥ 10%Persistence gate. Filters out one-hit-wonders and cyclical rebounds from easy comparables.
Excludes Financial Services and Real Estate SectorsTheir 'revenue' moves with rate cycles, not business fundamentals.
FCF Margin ≥ 5%Self-funding growth — not dependent on dilution or debt markets.
Market Cap ≥ $500MLiquidity floor. Excludes micro-caps where percentage growth numbers are misleading.
Excludes ADRsUS-domiciled shares only for consistent GAAP data.

What Qualifies as a Fastest-Growing Stock?

This screen defines "fastest-growing" precisely: 30%+ TTM revenue growth and 30%+ TTM EPS growth, with positive FCF margin and profitability. Only 5–8% of US public companies hit the 30% revenue bar in any given year.

The dual test matters: revenue growth alone can reflect aggressive pricing or acquisition accounting. When EPS grows at the same velocity, the business model is genuinely scaling. Combined with the FCF requirement and 3Y persistence gate, this surfaces companies where demand acceleration, competitive positioning, and financial discipline are all present.

Revenue Velocity: The Math of 30%+ Compounding

Revenue compounding from a $100M base:

10% per year → $161M in 5 years (+61%)
20% per year → $249M in 5 years (+149%)
30% per year → $371M in 5 years (+271%)
40% per year → $538M in 5 years (+438%)

This is why fastest-growing stocks trade at 10–20x revenue — the market prices in projected future scale, not current earnings. However, no company sustains 30%+ indefinitely. The law of large numbers compresses growth rates as the revenue base scales. The investor's job: identify which companies have the longest runway before compression hits.

The FCF Test: Why Cash Matters at 30%+ Growth

WeWork, Peloton, and Robinhood all failed the FCF test — they grew revenue aggressively while burning cash. When rates rose in 2022 and capital became expensive, businesses dependent on external financing faced existential pressure.

This screen requires 5%+ FCF margin. At that level, a company growing 30% generates proportionally increasing cash alongside scale. It self-funds growth rather than depending on dilution or debt. In rising-rate environments, FCF margin isn't just quality — it's survival.

Growth Persistence: Avoiding Easy-Comparable Traps

A stock can show 30%+ TTM growth for one reason: last year's comparable was weak. The 3Y revenue growth floor (10%) catches this — if TTM is 35% but 3Y CAGR is near zero, the business was contracting before the recent spike. That's a recovery story, not sustained growth.

The most attractive companies show high TTM growth backed by strong 3Y growth — acceleration on top of an already-compounding base. Compare columns 3 (TTM) and 5 (3Y) to spot this pattern.

Risks of Velocity Investing

Valuation compression: When growth decelerates from 35% to 22%, multiples contract sharply. Stocks can fall 40–60% while revenue continues growing — the 2022 SaaS drawdown was multiple compression, not business failure.

Duration risk: High-growth cash flows are long-duration assets, sensitive to rate changes. A 30x revenue stock carries significant interest rate exposure.

Execution risk: At 30%+ growth, the market prices near-perfect execution. Any meaningful deviation gets harshly repriced.

Sector concentration: Fastest growers cluster in Tech, Healthcare, and Communication Services. Apply position limits and sector caps.

Building a High-Growth Portfolio

Position count: 8–15 names for a dedicated growth sleeve. Fewer than 6 creates excessive single-stock risk; more than 20 dilutes conviction.

Position sizing: 7–10% for highest-conviction names, 3–5% for researched positions with less visibility, 1–2% for names you're monitoring.

Combining strategies: Pair with dividend screens for non-correlated cash flow and reduced duration risk.

Exit discipline: When TTM growth drops significantly, ask: "what multiple is appropriate now?" The most common mistake is holding through deceleration hoping for recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What revenue growth rate qualifies a stock as 'fastest growing' on this screen?

This screen requires 30% or more trailing-twelve-month (TTM) revenue growth — compared to the 20% threshold on the broader growth-stocks screen. In any given year, only 5–8% of US-listed public stocks clear this bar. Companies must also show 30%+ EPS growth simultaneously, ensuring earnings are scaling alongside revenue rather than just top-line numbers inflating.

How is this different from the 'best growth stocks' screen?

The 'best growth stocks' screen uses 20% revenue growth and 25% EPS growth minimums, casting a wide net across the growth universe. This screen raises both thresholds to 30% to isolate the extreme velocity tier — companies in the top 5–8% of US growth rates in any cycle. The result set is typically 30–50% smaller, representing the highest-acceleration companies rather than the broad growth category.

Do fastest-growing stocks pay dividends?

Almost never. Companies growing revenue at 30%+ are reinvesting nearly all operating cash flow into sales, R&D, and market expansion. Initiating a dividend signals that investment opportunities have been exhausted — the opposite of what defines a fastest-growing stock. The Total Return 1Y column on this screen reflects price appreciation only, not dividend income. If dividend income is a priority, the dividend screens are the appropriate starting point.

Why require a positive FCF margin if a company is growing revenue at 30%+?

Fast revenue growth funded by continuous equity dilution or debt destroys shareholder value over time. The FCF floor of 5% ensures the business generates real cash from operations — it can fund its own expansion rather than depending on capital markets conditions. Companies that failed the FCF test at high growth velocities (WeWork, Peloton, many 2021 SPAC-era names) proved the risk in 2022 when capital became expensive and cash-negative growers faced existential pressure or forced restructuring.

What sectors appear most often in the fastest-growing stocks list?

Technology, Healthcare (particularly biotech, med-tech, and pharmaceutical companies), and Communication Services dominate in most cycles. AI infrastructure, cloud software, GLP-1 pharmaceutical companies, and select fintech names have been prominent through 2024–2026. Financial Services and Real Estate are excluded by design — their 'revenue' is tied to rate cycles, not business fundamentals. The sector composition shifts meaningfully cycle to cycle as leading growth themes rotate.

Can a company sustain 30%+ revenue growth for years?

Rarely, but it happens at scale. Amazon grew revenue at 20–30%+ annually for over a decade. Nvidia quadrupled revenue between 2023 and 2025. However, the law of large numbers eventually compresses growth rates as the revenue base scales. Most companies in this screen will see growth moderate toward 15–20% within 3–5 years. The investor's job is to identify those with the largest remaining addressable market and strongest competitive moat before that moderation begins — and to exit or reduce when the evidence suggests the deceleration is underway.

What is the minimum market cap for stocks on this screen?

The minimum market cap is $500 million. This excludes micro-cap and nano-cap stocks where base effect math inflates percentage growth figures and where liquidity is insufficient for most investors. The $500M floor includes fast-growing mid-caps while filtering out development-stage companies whose 30% 'growth' is relative to near-zero prior revenue — where the percentages are real but the absolute scale is irrelevant.

Are fastest-growing stocks good for long-term investing?

They can deliver extraordinary long-term returns, but they require more active monitoring than dividend or quality stocks. The fastest-growing stocks are priced on multi-year future growth expectations. If those expectations are met or exceeded, returns can be exceptional. If growth decelerates even modestly, valuations compress sharply. Long-term holders must regularly re-evaluate whether the original growth thesis still holds, check whether TTM growth is accelerating or decelerating relative to 3-year baselines, and act when the evidence changes.

How often does the fastest-growing stocks list change?

The financial data underlying the screen updates daily. However, TTM growth figures change meaningfully only when a new quarterly earnings report is filed — roughly every 90 days per company. The composition of the list shifts most dramatically during earnings season, when companies report new quarters and TTM figures are recalculated. Between earnings seasons, the list is relatively stable with minor re-rankings based on price and market cap changes. Companies that just reported strong earnings often move up; those that reported weak quarters drop off.

How many fastest-growing stocks should I own in a portfolio?

For a dedicated growth sleeve, 8–15 names provides meaningful diversification against individual company execution risk without diluting the category's return potential. Fewer than 6 concentrates single-company execution risk too highly given the volatility profile of 30%+ growers. More than 20 typically includes lower-conviction positions. Individual position sizes in this category should be smaller than in a dividend or quality portfolio — a 5–7% cap per name is reasonable given the higher drawdown potential when growth decelerates or rates rise unexpectedly.
