5-Year Revenue Growth
Long-term sales expansion. Captures whether the business has been compounding revenue over a full economic cycle, not just riding a single product launch or favorable quarter. The broadest of the four inputs.

What Are the Best Growth Stocks Right Now?
Growth stocks are companies expanding their revenue and earnings meaningfully faster than the broader market. The investing thesis is that the market eventually pays up for that compounding — so today's growth premium turns into tomorrow's earnings yield. The challenge: most stocks with a recent growth burst can't sustain it. A useful growth screener needs to surface companies with durable growth, not one-quarter momentum.
This screener uses GuruFocus's Growth Rank, a 1–10 composite ranking that combines 5-year revenue growth, 3-year revenue growth, 5-year EBITDA growth, and the predictability of that revenue trajectory. It returns only stocks ranked 9 or 10 — the top decile of growth across the global universe — and filters out preferred shares and tiny micro-caps to keep the list to recognizable, well-covered businesses.
Each stock in the list passes the screen today. Click any ticker for the full GuruFocus stock report with 30 years of financials, GF Score breakdown, valuation history, and analyst coverage.

How We Screen for the Best Growth Stocks
Every stock in the list passes the Growth Rank top-decile filter, which combines four signals into a single 1–10 composite. Higher rank means stronger, more durable, more consistent growth.
3-Year Revenue Growth
Medium-term momentum. Strong Growth Rank requires both 5-year and 3-year strength — the company has to still be growing today, not just historically. Catches mature growth stories before they fully decay.
Learn more ->5-Year EBITDA Growth
EBITDA growth must be positive over the five-year window. GuruFocus uses EBITDA rather than EPS for two reasons: more companies qualify (EBITDA can be positive while EPS is temporarily negative from accounting charges or capital structure), and EBITDA better isolates operating performance.
Learn more ->Revenue Predictability
How consistent the 5-year revenue trajectory has been. This separates durable compounders from boom-bust growers — a company growing fast but erratically can still rank lower than one growing moderately but consistently. Predictability is what makes growth investable.
Learn more ->Part of the GF Score Composite
Growth Rank is one of the two most-sensitive predictors in GuruFocus's backtested 5-factor GF Score composite (alongside Profitability Rank). Stocks scoring high on Growth Rank tend to drive a disproportionate share of the GF Score's historical performance edge.
Learn more ->Daily Refresh
Prices and any newly reported quarterly fundamentals are re-pulled daily, so the list adapts as new earnings come in. The underlying Growth Rank itself refreshes quarterly with new financial statements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Growth stocks are companies whose revenue and earnings are expanding meaningfully faster than the broader market. They typically trade at higher price-to-earnings, price-to-sales, and price-to-book ratios than value stocks because investors are paying up today for expected future compounding. Classic examples span technology, healthcare innovation, and consumer brands with strong category momentum. The best growth investments combine fast top-line growth with durable competitive advantages — not just a recent quarter of strong numbers.
