20 TTM top revenue growers

Magellan,

I know you’re new, but we’ve decided in the past that screeners are off topic. If you run a screen, don’t just give us the data dump, but tell us a little bit about some of the companies found that you like. This will take more time, but is a lot more valuable.

Also note that just revenue growth doesn’t really tell us anything. A company might have a gross margin of 5%…or even a negative gross margin. Who cares if they’re growing at 200% – that just means they’re more in the negative. Or perhaps growth is up 100% down last year but was down 75% last year – that’s a cyclical or turn-around business, specifically off topic for this board: https://discussion.fool.com/monday-morning-rules-of-the-board-34…

I wish screeners were more helpful, but they’re fraught with problems. The main thing is that you can’t trust the data. It’s almost always pulled by a computer and often wrong. For instance, GDS doesn’t seem to be growing revenue – it seems to be falling. That’s why Saul said to always get numbers directly from the company: https://discussion.fool.com/i-got-those-zscaler-numbers-off-macr…

I appreciate your enthusiasm, and I hope you’ll continue to add to the discussion, but the board has gotten so popular that we have to limit the discussions on things that are off topic.

Again, please: run your screen if you find it helpful! Just use it as the beginning of your analysis. We want to hear about potential investments that you think have promise – not just whatever the screener spits out.

Thanks,
Bear
Assistant Board Manager
