Fast Growers (Peter Lynch)

Peter Lynch's "fast growers" — the category behind most of his tenbaggers — are companies growing earnings 20–25%+ per year. This screen adds his usual safeguards: PEG ≤ 2 (don't overpay for growth), positive net margin (growth that actually produces profit) and debt-to-equity ≤ 2 (Lynch avoided heavily leveraged growers).

Lynch warned that the risk with fast growers is paying any price for the story — which is exactly what the PEG ceiling enforces here.

FAQ

What counts as a Lynch fast grower?

In One Up on Wall Street, fast growers are companies compounding earnings at 20–25%+ — big enough to be real, small enough to keep growing. Lynch paired the growth rate with a PEG check to avoid overpaying.

Why require positive net margin?

Revenue growth without profit can be bought, not earned. Lynch's growers converted growth into actual earnings — the margin floor enforces that.
