Strategy Information
The Cornerstone Growth Strategy, as the name suggests, focuses on identifying stocks with strong growth potential.
This strategy often involves buying stocks of companies with high earnings growth, and looking for low Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratios to indicate possibly undervalued companies.
James P. O’Shaughnessy's Cornerstone Growth Strategy methodology emphasizes key metrics such as a low Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio, Deflated Market Capitalization of more than $250M, and sales growth (earnings higher than in previous year).
Accountable Finance's Improved Cornerstone Growth Strategy adds shorter term price momentum screens for 1 and 3 month price appreciation. Though this carries a higher risk, it identifies stocks that are “on the mend.”
