Key challenge of equity investing
Finding stocks with -
 Moat
 Growth
 Right valuation
Moat is now almost a science …
– competitive advantage reflected in RoE above cost of equity
… but growth and valuation are complete art
– little or no literature on growth
– some investors treat growth as mere amplifier of returns,
having bought a stock cheap in the first place
19
Importance of growth
Basic mathematics of making money in equities –
Long-term profit growth = Long-term price growth

20
Two key growth challenges
1. Search for and calibration of future growth
2. Knowing how much growth is already priced in
21
Some Growth characteristics
 Nothing grows to the sky
 High growth is not everywhere
 Growth is always probabilistic
 All growth is not profitable
 Growth can be found in any size of company
 There can be growth even in adverse environment
 Growth is uniquely company specific
22
Growth implication
 Since growth is uniquely company specific,
look for high-growth approaches & situations
 We covered one approach last year - 100x
 This year we do Mid-to-Mega
23
100x v/s Mid-to-Mega
 “100x” refers to stock prices rising 100-fold over time
(theme of our last year’s Wealth Creation Study)
 100x: Highly aspirational, somewhat theoretical
 Ideas few & far between (47 stocks in 20 years)
 Requires high level of patience (average 12 years)
 Mid-to-Mega: A more practical alternative
 9-12 stocks every year
 High returns within realistic time-window of 5 years
24
Defining the terms
Rank approach rather than market cap approach
 Mega : Top 100 stocks by market cap rank
 Mid : Stocks ranked next 200 i.e. 101 to 300
 Mini : Stocks ranked below 300
25

Shortlisting potential Mid-to-Mega
Applying MQGLP through a 6-step process
1. Start with 200 Mids (M of MQGLP)
2. Filter for year of purchase RoE at least 20% (Q of MQGLP)
3. Of the above list, select Industry Leaders and beneficiaries of
Value Migration / Industry tailwind (Q of MQGLP)
4. Post step 3, select companies with 2-year PAT CAGR of 20%
as growth momentum (G of MQGLP)
5. Next, prefer seculars over cyclicals (for L of MQGLP)
6. Finally, decide a suitable purchase P/E for the stock based on
a call on management competence, integrity & growth
mindset (P of MQGLP)
57
Shortlisting potential Mid-to-Mega

Market Outlook

 Value Migration is increasingly becoming the key driver
of rapid Wealth Creation.
 Industry leadership is a necessary pre-requisite to be
a megacorp.
 Market cap rank is a powerful tool to assess a company's
current standing and the roadmap ahead.
 Mid-to-Mega marks a big change in ranks, driven by the
lollapalooza effect of MQGLP (Mid-size, Quality, Growth,
Longevity and Price).
 Acceleration in earnings coupled with softening interest
rates will likely usher in the next round of market
expansion, albeit a few quarters later.

    18 Key challenge ofequity investing Finding stocks with -  Moat  Growth  Right valuation Moat is now almost a science … – competitive advantage reflected in RoE above cost of equity … but growth and valuation are complete art – little or no literature on growth – some investors treat growth as mere amplifier of returns, having bought a stock cheap in the first place

    20 Two key growthchallenges 1. Search for and calibration of future growth 2. Knowing how much growth is already priced in
  • 22.
    21 Some Growth characteristics Nothing grows to the sky  High growth is not everywhere  Growth is always probabilistic  All growth is not profitable  Growth can be found in any size of company  There can be growth even in adverse environment  Growth is uniquely company specific
  • 23.
    22 Growth implication  Sincegrowth is uniquely company specific, look for high-growth approaches & situations  We covered one approach last year - 100x  This year we do Mid-to-Mega
  • 24.
    23 100x v/s Mid-to-Mega “100x” refers to stock prices rising 100-fold over time (theme of our last year’s Wealth Creation Study)  100x: Highly aspirational, somewhat theoretical  Ideas few & far between (47 stocks in 20 years)  Requires high level of patience (average 12 years)  Mid-to-Mega: A more practical alternative  9-12 stocks every year  High returns within realistic time-window of 5 years

    24 Defining the terms Rankapproach rather than market cap approach  Mega : Top 100 stocks by market cap rank  Mid : Stocks ranked next 200 i.e. 101 to 300  Mini : Stocks ranked below 300
