Just wanted to share a little test I'm using as benchmark:

I selected by screener the biggest 10 companies by Market Cap with these parameters:

• ROIC > 15%
• Net debt / EBITDA LTM <3x
• Total return 5Y >100% (20% CAGR)
• PE NTM <40x
• Analysts Estimated EPS Forwards 5Y CAGR >12%

Equal weighted buying in January 2nd 2024

Results:

$AAPL (+2,14 %)

$MSFT (+0,93 %)

$GOOGL (+3,98 %)

$META (+2,82 %)

$UNH (+3,35 %) (I removed this because the PE LTM was too close to 40)

$NFLX (-0,38 %)

$QCOM (+1,77 %)

$PGR (-0,04 %)

$BKNG (+1,21 %) (I removed this one total return 5Y was too close to 100%)

$LRCX

$KLAC (+2,59 %) (added the next one to replace the removed one)

$HCA (+1,18 %) (same)

I know that in January the screener results maybe wouldn't be these, and that most companies are the easy ones, but... 30% returns YTD, without using the 10 best performance of the SP500 YTD ($NVDA (+3,19 %) , $VST (+2,9 %) , $SMCI , $HWM (+0,65 %) , $CEG , $TRGP (+2,55 %) , $LLY (+1,37 %) , $IRM (+1,39 %) , $NRG (+1,36 %) , $GDDY (+1,9 %) and no crypto,)

If I reached half of it every year, I will be very proud of myself.

Hope it helps
