Stalwarts are Lynch's middle category: large, established companies growing earnings 8–20% a year — the 2–4× multi-baggers of a portfolio rather than tenbaggers. This screen adds ROE ≥ 12%, net margin ≥ 10% and beta ≤ 1.4 for the defensive character Lynch expected from the category.
The table is ranked by our composite overall score, so the highest-quality stalwarts surface first rather than the fastest growers.

Lynch's stalwarts are big companies growing steadily — Coca-Cola style. Enough growth to compound, established enough to hold through recessions, typically bought on dips for 30–50% gains rather than held for tenbaggers.
Stalwarts are supposed to be portfolio ballast. Beta ≤ 1.4 keeps genuinely volatile names out of a category meant to be steadier than the market.
