Common questions

What is a stock screener?

A stock screener narrows a list of companies down to the ones that pass the tests you choose. Most screeners ask you to type ratios and numbers. This one asks in plain words: little or no debt, growing fast, founders not selling, and so on.

Which Indian companies covered here have little or no debt?

Acutaas, Aether, Anthem, Blue Jet, Cohance Lifesciences, Deepak Nitrite, Divi's, Dixon, Gland, Gujarat Fluorochemicals, Kaynes, Navin Fluorine, Neuland, PG Electroplast, PI Industries, Sai Life, Syngene and Syrma. Each one is either debt-free, holds more cash than debt, or has only a little borrowing against what it owns.

Which companies covered here are growing fast?

Acutaas, Aether, Dixon, Kaynes, Laurus, Navin Fluorine, Neuland, Sai Life and Syrma. Their sales are growing fast, or have doubled, on the figures each company has filed.

Which companies are growing fast, with little or no debt, and founders not selling?

Acutaas, Aether, Kaynes, Navin Fluorine, Neuland and Sai Life. This is the "Clean growers" screen.

Where do the filters come from?

Every filter is read from the five answers on each company's page, which are written from its annual reports, quarterly results, earnings calls and shareholding filings. When a company's answers change with a new quarter, its place on the screener changes with them.

Is this a buy or sell recommendation?

No. The screener shows which companies match the facts you pick. A company can miss a filter for a good reason, such as a new plant that is still filling up. Read the five answers on its page before deciding anything.
