Use These 5 Criteria to Eliminate 98% of Stocks 💙 ⿡ Consistent Revenue Growth – Revenue should grow steadily for the last 3–5 years. Avoid companies with erratic or falling sales. ⿢ Healthy Profit Margins – Operating margin above 15% is ideal (varies by sector). Low margins mean weak pricing power. ⿣ Low Debt-to-Equity Ratio – Below 0.5 is safer (except for capital-heavy sectors). High debt increases risk. ⿤ ROE Above 15% – Indicates efficient use of shareholders’ money. Below 10% can be a red flag. ⿥ Positive Cash Flow – Profits should come from cash operations, not just accounting numbers. 💡 Pro Tip: Even if a stock passes, check valuation — quality can still be overpriced.
