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 (+0,6 %)

$MSFT (+0,89 %)

$GOOGL (+0,98 %)

$META (+1,31 %)

$UNH (+1,04 %) (I removed this because the PE LTM was too close to 40)

$NFLX (+0,42 %)

$QCOM (+0,78 %)

$PGR (-0,08 %)

$BKNG (+0,49 %) (I removed this one total return 5Y was too close to 100%)

$LRCX

$KLAC (+0,95 %) (added the next one to replace the removed one)

$HCA (+0,42 %) (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 (+1,41 %) , $VST (+1,35 %) , $SMCI , $HWM (+1,04 %) , $CEG , $TRGP (+0,53 %) , $LLY (+0,84 %) , $IRM (+0,63 %) , $NRG (+1,17 %) , $GDDY (+0,37 %) and no crypto,)

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

Hope it helps
