In an effort to identify the future mega-cap giants, Goldman Sachs analyzed the financial similarities behind today's winners and used that information to develop a screen that can help investors scout out the future growth engines of the stock market.
In a recent note, Goldman highlighted its "Rule of 10" in a bid to screen for secular growth stocks in the S&P 500 that can grow in all stages of an economic cycle. The screen focuses on revenue growth above 10%.
"We screen for S&P 500 stocks that grew sales by at least 10% during each of the previous two years and are expected to grow sales by at least 10% in the current year and each of the next two years," Goldman Sachs' David Kostin said.
There are currently 20 S&P 500 stocks that meet this criteria, and they're in good company.
"The seven mega-cap tech stocks grew sales at a 15% CAGR from 2013 to 2019, compared with 4% growth for the S&P 500. Excepting 2022, these stocks grew sales at a faster rate than the broader index in each year since 2019," Goldman Sachs' David Kostin said.
And the mega-cap tech stocks are still in great shape, according to Kostin, with Wall Street estimating that they will grow revenues at an annual rate of 11% through 2025, compared to just 4% growth for the S&P 500.
While stocks that met this criteria have outperformed the S&P 500 considerably over the past decade, so to have stocks that experienced consistent profit growth of at least 10%. This screen is especially poignant after 2022, as investors shifted their focus from "growth at all costs" to sustainable growth in profits.
Goldman identified 18 S&P 500 companies that meet this criteria, and only eight stocks that meet the criteria of both 10% revenue growth and 10% income growth.
These are the eight S&P 500 companies that meet Goldman Sachs' "Rule of 10" screening criteria for both revenue and profits.
"We screen for S&P 500 stocks that grew sales by at least 10% during each of the previous two years and are expected to grow sales by at least 10% in the current year and each of the next two years," Goldman Sachs' David Kostin said.

The relationship can be referred to as the “Rule of 21,” which says that the sum of the P/E ratio and CPI inflation should equal 21. It's not a perfect relationship, but holds true generally. What can we infer from this information for today's market?
