Peter Lynch GARP screen
Query: peter lynch style stock selection · data as of 2026-10-26
Built a Peter Lynch GARP screen (PEG 0.4-1.5, positive EPS/revenue growth, ROE & ROIC >10%, D/E 0-1.0, forward P/E <40, above 150D SMA but not >20% extended): 61 names total, 18 large caps >$10B, both tables ranked by PEG ascending then ROE, with Lynch-style classifications, explanatory narrative and per-name qualitative comments.
Lynch-style GARP screen: PEG between 0.4 and 1.5, positive EPS and revenue growth, ROE and ROIC above ~10%, debt/equity of 0-1.0, forward P/E below 40, and price above the 150-day SMA without being stretched more than 20% above it. 45 names pass, 18 of them large caps above $10B; ranked by PEG ascending, then ROE.
How this Lynch screen works
Peter Lynch's GARP rule of thumb. A growth company is only worth its multiple if the growth justifies it, so the PEG ratio (P/E divided by the earnings growth rate) is the core test. A PEG around 1.0 is 'fair'; below 1.0 the growth is on sale. This screen keeps names with a PEG of 0.4-1.5 and then applies the quality check Lynch put around that growth: profitable (ROE and ROIC above roughly 10%), not over-levered (debt/equity of 0-1.0), revenue that is actually growing, and a forward P/E that is not extreme.
The price-trend filter. Lynch avoided paying up for a story that had already been fully told. We require the stock to sit above its 150-day moving average - structure intact - but no more than 20% above it, so we are buying reasonable growth in a name that is not chasing its own chart. Names 10% or more below that line were dropped as broken trends rather than healthy entries.
What the screen actually surfaced. The low-PEG tail is dominated by financials - regional banks, P&C and specialty insurers, asset managers. That is not an accident: these businesses are priced on book value and cycle-adjusted earnings, so a strong credit and pricing year mechanically produces a single-digit P/E against a high-teens growth rate. Read those PEGs as cyclical cheapness, not as durable compounding; the ROIC and revenue columns are the tie-breaker. Outside financials, the screen found a genuine small-cap ad-tech grower, a few industrial and healthcare compounders (building efficiency, sleep apnea, CGM, sterilization services), and one mega-cap semiconductor franchise whose forward multiple sits well below its trailing one because estimates keep rising.
How to read the Lynch-Style Read column. It is derived purely from the screen inputs: 'fast grower at a discount' needs a PEG below 1 with 25%-plus EPS growth and double-digit revenue growth; 'growth at a discount' is any PEG below 1; 'stalwart' is a $10B-plus company growing under 20% and priced at a PEG of 1.5 or less.
Caveats. PEG is only as good as the growth number behind it. A single year of depressed or one-off-inflated earnings can make a PEG look artificially cheap; ask whether the growth is durable before acting. For banks and insurers, compare within the sector - their ROE and ROIC are computed on a very different economic base than an industrial's.

| # | Symbol | Company | Sector | Industry | Market Cap ($B) | P/E (TTM) | Forward P/E | PEG | Forward PEG | EPS Growth YoY | Revenue Growth YoY | ROE | ROIC | Debt/Equity | FCF Yield | 1M Return | 6M Return | 1Y Return | % From 150D SMA | Momentum Potential | Lynch-Style Read | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | DSP | Viant Technology Inc. | Information Technology | Software - Application | 0.9194 | 38.39 | 17.1 | 0.4105 | 0.1829 | 93.51% | 19.00% | 28.25% | — | 0.274 | 5.63% | 13.37% | 30.87% | 51.20% | 15.49% | 90.7 | Fast grower at a discount | Small-cap ad-tech: growth comes from taking share in connected-TV and streaming inventory, a market where budgets are still shifting away from linear. The PEG looks cheap mainly because the trailing figure reflects a recovering earnings base from depressed levels, so durability matters more than the headline growth rate. |
| 2 | TRV | The Travelers Companies, Inc. | Financials | Insurance - Property & Casualty | 81.9948 | 10.76 | 13.25 | 0.4172 | 0.5138 | 25.79% | 5.18% | 19.66% | 4.43% | 0.29 | — | 10.23% | 32.75% | 50.98% | 18.64% | 68.3 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Textbook Lynch stalwart: a P&C insurer with pricing power, low leverage and a huge float. Earnings strength is being helped by hard commercial pricing and reserve releases; the risk is that a soft cycle or a bad catastrophe year compresses the underwriting margin the multiple is sitting on. |
| 3 | TILE | Interface, Inc. | Consumer Discretionary | Furnishings, Fixtures & Appliances | 2.1068 | 14.76 | 15 | 0.4402 | 0.4474 | 33.53% | 5.41% | 17.11% | 14.49% | 0.441 | 5.78% | 3.55% | 30.70% | 30.53% | 12.48% | 88.2 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Carpet tile maker with heavy commercial real estate exposure. Improvement comes from restructuring and price/mix rather than volume, so the earnings recovery is real but tightly tied to office vacancy and corporate renovation budgets. |
| 4 | CUBI | Customers Bancorp, Inc | Financials | Banks - Regional | 2.903 | 10.4 | 8.96 | 0.4427 | 0.3814 | 23.49% | -13.97% | 10.16% | 2.20% | 0.05 | 16.84% | 11.51% | 10.28% | 31.09% | 12.01% | 75.5 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Digital-first regional bank focused on commercial and specialty lending. The earnings swing reflects margin and credit normalization rather than true organic compounding, and a small revenue decline alongside a jump in profit is a combination worth scrutinizing before trusting the PEG. |
| 5 | BOW | Bowhead Specialty Holdings Inc. | Financials | Insurance - Property & Casualty | 1.1247 | 18.45 | 14.02 | 0.454 | 0.345 | 40.64% | 29.58% | 11.75% | 2.01% | 0.326 | 29.07% | 1.13% | 43.81% | 36.72% | 15.64% | 87 | Fast grower at a discount | Specialty casualty insurer writing excess-and-surplus lines - a niche with pricing power and less commodity competition. Growth is coming from new underwriting teams and premium expansion, though the long-tail claims profile means today's underwriting margin can look better than it truly is. |
| 6 | TW | Tradeweb Markets Inc. | Financials | Capital Markets | 26.6687 | 29.46 | 26.86 | 0.4776 | 0.4355 | 61.68% | 18.92% | 13.92% | 0.79% | 0.022 | 4.26% | 22.00% | 11.08% | 12.00% | 15.61% | 83.5 | Fast grower at a discount | Electronic bond and rates marketplace with an asset-light, fee-based model. Earnings growth is cyclical in spots - volatility drives trading volumes - so the PEG is flattered by a strong rate-volatility year, and the durable piece is the share shift from voice trading to electronic venues. |
| 7 | RBCAA | Republic Bancorp, Inc. | Financials | Banks - Regional | 1.8189 | 14.17 | 13.43 | 0.4797 | 0.4546 | 29.54% | 8.50% | 11.59% | 2.79% | 0.028 | 8.96% | -2.02% | 24.67% | 37.43% | 7.27% | 70.8 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Kentucky-based community bank with an outsourced tax-refund processing niche that is unusual for a bank of its size. That seasonal business smooths out the interest income and gives it a defensible local franchise, though deposit costs remain the marginal story. |
| 8 | JCI | Johnson Controls International | Industrials | Building Products & Equipment | 89.3469 | 41.55 | 24.45 | 0.4895 | 0.288 | 84.89% | 2.81% | 25.99% | 4.12% | 0.842 | — | -1.80% | 3.45% | 34.58% | 3.04% | 59.8 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Building efficiency and HVAC controls with the residential arm now separated out, which makes the remaining business a purer data-center-cooling and commercial-installation play with better structural growth. The trailing growth is partly a portfolio-change artifact, so the forward multiple is the fairer read. |
| 9 | NDAQ | Nasdaq, Inc. | Financials | Financial Data & Stock Exchanges | 58.5361 | 30.53 | 22.39 | 0.5082 | 0.3727 | 60.07% | 11.65% | 14.86% | 0.32% | 0.791 | 3.47% | 11.94% | 16.61% | 19.46% | 15.73% | 93.3 | Fast grower at a discount | Exchange and market-technology operator with recurring listing and data revenue layered on top of financial software. The earnings step-up reflects the integration of acquired software franchises and index/data pricing power; the durability is high but the multiple already prices much of it in. |
| 10 | NVDA | NVIDIA Corporation | Information Technology | Semiconductors | 5,216 | 33.08 | 16.82 | 0.5109 | 0.2598 | 64.75% | 65.47% | 61.42% | 62.96% | 0.071 | 2.01% | -4.03% | -0.05% | 18.86% | 2.84% | 99.9 | Fast grower at a discount | The rare mega-cap where a PEG near half looks genuinely cheap: dominant AI accelerator share, exceptional return on capital and a forward multiple well below the trailing one because estimates keep rising. The core risk is concentration in a handful of hyperscaler customers whose own capex is now partly capital-markets funded. |
| 11 | LTC | LTC Properties, Inc. | Real Estate | REIT - Healthcare Facilities | 2.3697 | 15.7 | 29.21 | 0.5136 | 0.9555 | 30.57% | 25.26% | 11.16% | 6.41% | 0.784 | — | 2.84% | 17.73% | 32.51% | 12.34% | 86.3 | Fast grower at a discount | Healthcare REIT with senior-housing exposure. Earnings growth here is partly non-cash (REIT depreciation), which distorts the P/E and PEG math; judge it on cash flow and dividend coverage instead, not on the trailing earnings multiple. |
| 12 | ADBE | Adobe Inc. | Information Technology | Software - Application | 100.6549 | 14.8 | 9.41 | 0.5241 | 0.3332 | 28.24% | 10.53% | 61.90% | 55.93% | 0.615 | 9.59% | 9.83% | 8.07% | -26.97% | 6.04% | 83.9 | Fast grower at a discount | Software with the cheapest-looking growth multiple in years, because the market is discounting the AI threat to its creative suite. The business still throws off enormous free cash flow and returns capital, so the setup is a genuine value-versus-disruption debate rather than a clean GARP bargain. |
| 13 | EG | Everest Group, Ltd. | Financials | Insurance - Reinsurance | 15.2455 | 8.4 | 6.65 | 0.529 | 0.4188 | 15.88% | 1.24% | 10.40% | 2.56% | 0.013 | — | 7.34% | 17.07% | 15.86% | 11.25% | 36.4 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Reinsurer trading at a single-digit multiple - classic Lynch 'cheap for a reason' territory. Earnings are cyclical and reserve development can reverse quickly, so the low PEG reflects the market pricing peak-cycle underwriting, not a durable compounder. |
| 14 | KVUE | Kenvue Inc. | Consumer Staples | Household & Personal Products | 37.4551 | 22.94 | 15.78 | 0.537 | 0.3694 | 42.72% | -2.14% | 13.86% | 8.08% | 0.816 | 4.58% | 9.55% | 15.19% | 37.06% | 9.19% | 56.4 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Consumer staples spin-off with well-known brands (Tylenol, Neutrogena, Band-Aid). The earnings recovery is cost-led - supply-chain simplification and overhead reduction - rather than volume-led, and the tenure of its own bolt-on M&A is the thing to watch. |
| 15 | ZION | Zions Bancorporation N.A. | Financials | Banks - Regional | 9.6227 | 8.4 | 9.7 | 0.5726 | 0.6612 | 14.67% | 3.60% | 12.32% | 1.81% | 0.461 | 9.85% | 3.29% | 6.82% | 31.47% | 1.64% | 28.2 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Western regional bank with a heavy commercial real estate footprint. Earnings resilience depends on credit quality in office and multifamily; a small-cap-style valuation on a bank with above-average CRE concentration is the risk worth flagging. |
| 16 | RRBI | Red River Bancshares, Inc. | Financials | Banks - Regional | 0.681 | 14.9 | 13.45 | 0.5982 | 0.5399 | 24.91% | — | 11.45% | 1.67% | 0.0039 | 6.21% | 2.41% | 10.47% | 57.79% | 7.55% | 73.5 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Small Louisiana bank with a high-quality deposit franchise and a history of steady credit discipline. Very small float and limited analyst coverage mean the discount can persist for long stretches. |
| 17 | WT | WisdomTree, Inc. | Financials | Asset Management | 3.1787 | 38.15 | 16.1 | 0.5996 | 0.253 | 63.63% | 15.43% | 22.97% | 6.63% | 0.0049 | 4.60% | -13.77% | 26.38% | 71.55% | 5.34% | 99.6 | Fast grower at a discount | ETF issuer whose earnings leverage comes from asset gathering in a few high-margin product lines. A rapidly appreciating beta-and-crypto-adjacent product mix means both the earnings and the multiple are sensitive to risk appetite rather than to a steady GARP cadence. |
| 18 | AMG | Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. | Financials | Asset Management | 10.1105 | 13.72 | 9.28 | 0.6219 | 0.4207 | 22.06% | 1.64% | 29.26% | 7.62% | 0.956 | 9.75% | 4.62% | 34.10% | 63.64% | 15.06% | 98.8 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Multi-affiliate asset manager holding stakes in boutique managers. Earnings are tied to equity markets and performance fees, so the apparent growth partly reflects a strong market rather than fee-rate expansion - cheap for now, cyclical by nature. |
| 19 | CTBI | Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. | Financials | Banks - Regional | 1.2415 | 11.81 | 10.89 | 0.6415 | 0.5915 | 18.41% | — | 11.25% | 2.00% | 0.447 | 7.84% | -6.67% | 9.49% | 39.87% | -0.10% | 50.2 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Small Kentucky community bank with a conservative, spread-based model. Growth is organic and modest; the PEG rests on a low multiple rather than an accelerating earnings trajectory. |
| 20 | SRCE | 1st Source Corporation | Financials | Banks - Regional | 2.1161 | 12.61 | 11.88 | 0.6524 | 0.6146 | 19.33% | — | 12.38% | 2.74% | 0.239 | 10.13% | 2.06% | 20.35% | 52.76% | 9.53% | 69.7 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Indiana community bank with a clean balance sheet and steady fee income. Typical of the regional-bank cluster here: the low multiple is structural to the sector, not a catalyst-driven discount. |
| 21 | RMD | ResMed Inc. | Health Care | Medical Instruments & Supplies | 35.6099 | 24.28 | 19.13 | 0.6527 | 0.5142 | 37.20% | 9.84% | 21.58% | 25.49% | 0.131 | 4.67% | 14.05% | 14.71% | -3.54% | 17.54% | 94.2 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Sleep apnea devices with a durable installed base and replacement cycle, plus a growing software/data angle in remote patient monitoring. Growth is being helped by the weight-loss drug-adjacent diagnostic opportunity, but reimbursement and competitive bidding remain the swing factors. |
| 22 | SPFI | South Plains Financial, Inc. | Financials | Banks - Regional | 0.665 | 11.9 | 10.51 | 0.6758 | 0.5968 | 17.61% | — | 11.58% | 1.47% | 0.018 | 10.80% | 1.84% | 1.68% | 16.66% | 2.45% | 65.9 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Very small Texas bank at the micro-cap end of the screen. The PEG reflects a tiny, thinly traded earnings base; the valuation is genuinely cheap but liquidity and coverage risk are meaningful. |
| 23 | CBC | Central Bancompany, Inc. | Financials | Banks - Regional | 8.0043 | 18.83 | 17.02 | 0.6771 | 0.612 | 27.81% | — | 10.29% | 2.54% | 0.0086 | 2.89% | 8.64% | 32.94% | — | 17.16% | 60.3 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Acquisition-driven Missouri bank holding company. Earnings growth has been helped by deal integration and cost saves, which is a repeatable but not risk-free model - check the loan book each cycle. |
| 24 | INTU | Intuit Inc. | Information Technology | Software - Application | 90.8308 | 20.73 | 12.46 | 0.6779 | 0.4075 | 30.58% | 15.63% | 18.76% | 17.47% | 0.371 | 6.67% | 23.82% | -12.04% | -49.14% | 2.82% | 53.8 | Fast grower at a discount | Accounting and tax software franchise whose trailing multiple collapsed on fears that AI eats desktop tax prep. The forward multiple suggests the market expects earnings to keep compounding; the debate is whether AI becomes a distribution tailwind (more filers moving to assisted) or a moat-breaker. |
| 25 | HOMB | Home BancShares, Inc. | Financials | Banks - Regional | 5.9902 | 12.43 | 11.57 | 0.683 | 0.6357 | 18.20% | — | 10.93% | 2.56% | 0.0075 | 6.26% | 3.01% | 14.04% | 13.97% | 5.95% | 45.6 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Arkansas bank with a heavy Florida and Texas exposure, so in-migration and deposit growth are part of the earnings story. Loan growth remains solid, but the CRE and construction concentration is the standard regional-bank caveat. |
| 26 | DXCM | DexCom, Inc. | Health Care | Medical Devices | 29.6492 | 31.06 | 25.15 | 0.6881 | 0.5572 | 45.14% | 15.60% | 31.90% | 55.05% | 0.059 | 3.66% | -9.29% | 27.94% | 10.57% | 3.82% | 86.8 | Fast grower at a discount | Continuous glucose monitors moving into the large non-insulin type-2 population - a structural volume driver. Growth is real but reimbursement expansion and competitive pressure from new CGM entrants determine whether the earnings ramp holds. |
| 27 | KNSL | Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. | Financials | Insurance - Property & Casualty | 8.326 | 15.01 | 17.09 | 0.7014 | 0.7986 | 21.40% | 18.04% | 25.60% | 7.83% | 0.115 | 11.92% | 11.92% | 13.02% | -18.16% | 8.32% | 37.5 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Excess-and-surplus specialist with exceptional underwriting discipline and a long record of low combined ratios. A high multiple historically, so a PEG near 1 signals the multiple has compressed; the risk is that premium momentum decelerates as the hard market fades. |
| 28 | SYBT | Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. | Financials | Banks - Regional | 2.4602 | 15.77 | 13.94 | 0.7053 | 0.6234 | 22.36% | — | 12.71% | 2.14% | 0.054 | 6.33% | 0.79% | 10.61% | 21.48% | 4.84% | 63.6 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Louisville-based bank with an unusual wealth-management and national niche-lending mix that supports fee income. Steady rather than explosive; the discount to peers is partly a function of size. |
| 29 | FRHC | Freedom Holding Corp. | Financials | Financial Conglomerates | 11.1016 | 72.22 | 38.68 | 0.7151 | 0.383 | 100.99% | 9.34% | 10.30% | 0.61% | 0.033 | — | 1.14% | 14.50% | 12.39% | 12.22% | 31.4 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Central Asian brokerage/retail trading franchise with very high reported growth that is difficult to verify against the US-listed financials. The screen's growth numbers and the multiple diverge sharply from peer exchanges - an example where a cheap-looking PEG deserves extra due-diligence scepticism. |
| 30 | FBP | First BanCorp. New | Financials | Banks - Regional | 4.1322 | 11.55 | 10.75 | 0.7476 | 0.6958 | 15.45% | 6.67% | 17.53% | 2.61% | 0.185 | 10.57% | 1.18% | 14.71% | 40.43% | 6.27% | 77.7 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Puerto Rico-based bank benefiting from population and deposit inflows plus a rate-sensitive loan book. Earnings are strong, though the balance sheet is concentrated in a single geography and government-related credit. |
| 31 | PLUS | ePlus inc. | Information Technology | Software - Application | 2.518 | 20.71 | 16.21 | 0.7719 | 0.6042 | 26.83% | 22.12% | 12.41% | 19.03% | 0.052 | — | 6.63% | 15.15% | 32.78% | 11.67% | 87.3 | Fast grower at a discount | IT reseller with a growing services and cloud-financing layer. The recurring-services mix is the reason a low-multiple hardware-reseller gets a growth characterization at all; watch gross-margin mix for confirmation. |
| 32 | SEIC | SEI Investments Company | Financials | Asset Management | 12.2915 | 18.23 | 14.94 | 0.7771 | 0.6368 | 23.46% | 8.10% | 29.28% | 27.24% | 0.025 | 4.81% | -2.19% | 14.15% | 28.28% | 7.94% | 94.2 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Asset-light investment processing and investment-management platform. Fee revenue is tied to market levels and to client flows, so the earnings multiple is fairly stable but the growth rate is market-dependent. |
| 33 | FBIZ | First Business Financial Servic | Financials | Banks - Regional | 0.6091 | 11.1 | 10.51 | 0.8084 | 0.7655 | 13.73% | — | 13.24% | 1.73% | 0.019 | 10.08% | 3.20% | 28.91% | 49.63% | 14.18% | 77.5 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Micro-cap Wisconsin commercial bank. The low PEG is a function of the small earnings base; there is no obvious catalyst beyond continued loan growth and rate normalization. |
| 34 | RLI | RLI Corp. | Financials | Insurance - Property & Casualty | 5.9561 | 13.63 | 24.08 | 0.8186 | 1.4462 | 16.65% | 6.33% | 22.45% | 6.26% | 0.203 | 10.23% | 16.54% | 31.72% | 14.99% | 13.47% | 76.5 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Specialty insurer known for strict underwriting and a long track record of reserve discipline. Premium growth has been decelerating from the 2023-24 peak, which is why the multiple looks cheaper against trailing growth than against forward growth. |
| 35 | RTX | RTX Corporation | Industrials | Aerospace & Defense | 266.4875 | 34.77 | 25.14 | 0.8478 | 0.613 | 41.01% | 9.74% | 10.65% | 7.42% | 0.561 | 3.08% | 4.27% | 14.75% | 11.69% | 2.45% | 60.9 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Aerospace and defense prime whose earnings recovery reflects aftermarket strength and the repair of the GTF engine cost problem. Defense backlog gives forward visibility, but the trailing growth rate is inflated by a depressed prior-year base. |
| 36 | CCBG | Capital City Bank Group | Financials | Banks - Regional | 0.8711 | 14.14 | 13.57 | 0.8659 | 0.831 | 16.33% | — | 10.99% | 1.95% | 0.107 | 9.25% | 2.09% | 10.52% | 28.13% | 5.64% | 71.7 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Small Florida bank with a long-standing conservative lending posture. Steady grower at a reasonable multiple, though the franchise is concentrated in one fast-growing but hurricane-exposed state. |
| 37 | GSBC | Great Southern Bancorp, Inc. | Financials | Banks - Regional | 0.8879 | 13.58 | 14.42 | 0.9157 | 0.9724 | 14.83% | — | 11.20% | 1.58% | 0.0063 | 7.94% | 3.82% | 21.30% | 46.61% | 9.63% | 86.1 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Missouri community bank with a stable, modest earnings base. The growth here is incremental, and the case rests on valuation and asset quality rather than on any acceleration. |
| 38 | EWBC | East West Bancorp, Inc. | Financials | Banks - Regional | 18.0541 | 12.66 | 11.59 | 0.9248 | 0.8466 | 13.69% | 4.45% | 14.33% | 2.22% | 0.018 | 8.32% | 3.57% | 6.76% | 32.55% | 5.17% | 49.4 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Largest US bank focused on the US-Asia corridor, so cross-border trade flows are a structural growth driver. Capital returns and a strong deposit franchise are the strengths; trade policy and China exposure are the risks. |
| 39 | AIZ | Assurant, Inc. | Financials | Insurance - Property & Casualty | 14.1633 | 13.75 | 12.31 | 0.9291 | 0.8318 | 14.80% | 7.89% | 14.87% | 2.42% | 0.013 | 11.38% | 8.36% | 23.81% | 37.27% | 9.78% | 78.6 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Specialty insurer built around lender-placed homeowners and extended-service contracts - a fee-heavy, low-loss business. The growth is tied to mortgage volumes and consumer credit, both of which are slower than they were; check whether the multiple has reset for that. |
| 40 | MBWM | Mercantile Bank Corporation | Financials | Banks - Regional | 1.057 | 10.75 | 10.66 | 0.934 | 0.9262 | 11.51% | — | 12.04% | 1.56% | 0.005 | — | 1.87% | 20.94% | 40.24% | 9.36% | 46.7 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Michigan regional bank with strong commercial lending in a resilient industrial economy. The earnings multiple is typical of the group - the screening advantage comes from consistent credit metrics rather than a special catalyst. |
| 41 | PAY | Paymentus Holdings, Inc. | Information Technology | Software - Infrastructure | 4.0956 | 49.27 | 30.37 | 0.9558 | 0.5891 | 51.55% | 37.25% | 11.47% | 27.35% | 0.012 | 3.85% | 7.79% | 17.27% | 5.62% | 9.74% | 97.1 | Fast grower at a discount | Billing and payments platform for utilities, municipalities and insurers. High-growth, sticky workflow software with a large paper-to-digital conversion runway; the PEG is respectable but the stock is not cheap on absolute multiples. |
| 42 | OLLI | Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings | Consumer Staples | Discount Stores | 5.0041 | 20.85 | 16.73 | 1.0201 | 0.8185 | 20.44% | 16.62% | 12.73% | 14.20% | 0.375 | 3.74% | -0.01% | -5.71% | -30.27% | 3.99% | 55.6 | Steady grower | Closeout retailer that compounds by acquiring distressed retail inventory and adding stores. The earnings base is temporarily depressed by the Big Lots acquisition integration and margin pressure from mix - a classic Lynch 'turnaround within a growth story', but the trailing growth rate exaggerates how cheap it is. |
| 43 | STE | STERIS plc (Ireland) | Health Care | Medical Devices | 22.4367 | 28.13 | 18.79 | 1.0255 | 0.685 | 27.43% | 8.73% | 10.93% | 9.03% | 0.269 | 4.30% | 10.14% | 4.19% | -4.03% | 5.71% | 48.7 | Steady grower | Sterilization and surgical-support services with a razor/razor-blade service model that produces very high recurring revenue and clean returns on capital. A slow-and-steady compounder; the PEG near 1 is where quality usually trades after a de-rating. |
| 44 | QCRH | QCR Holdings, Inc. | Financials | Banks - Regional | 1.6883 | 12.2 | 11.52 | 1.041 | 0.9829 | 11.72% | 46.29% | 11.06% | 1.57% | 0.011 | 20.92% | 2.16% | 13.35% | 40.41% | 7.31% | 38.1 | Steady grower | Quad-Cities bank holding company with a lending niche in equipment finance. Small, well-capitalized, and growing at a clip that makes the multiple look attractive relative to peers, though niche credit quality is the swing factor. |
| 45 | NMIH | NMI Holdings Inc | Financials | Insurance - Specialty | 3.2216 | 8.43 | 7.84 | 1.0537 | 0.98 | 8.00% | 8.52% | 14.77% | 9.73% | 0.0032 | 12.89% | 3.88% | 2.98% | 16.32% | 5.42% | 67.4 | Steady grower | Mortgage insurer benefiting from home price appreciation and persistent borrower equity buffers. Earnings are excellent while defaults stay low, but this is a credit-cycle business - the multiple reflects the market's memory of the last cycle. |
Large-cap stalwarts: the GARP core
The second table applies the same tests to companies above $10B, which is where Lynch's 'stalwarts' live - businesses that compound earnings in the high single to low double digits and are bought when the multiple compresses, not when the story is hot. These names carry less single-product risk than the small caps in the first table, but they also offer less upside, so the PEG filter tends to surface them at moments when sentiment has cooled rather than when growth is accelerating. A PEG near 1.0 for a 20% grower is a fair price; a PEG near 0.5 for the same grower is the market doubting the durability of the growth, which is exactly the question worth researching.
Same screen, large caps only (>$10B) - ranked by PEG (as of October 26, 2026)
| # | Symbol | Company | Sector | Industry | Market Cap ($B) | P/E (TTM) | Forward P/E | PEG | Forward PEG | EPS Growth YoY | Revenue Growth YoY | ROE | ROIC | Debt/Equity | FCF Yield | 1M Return | 6M Return | 1Y Return | % From 150D SMA | Momentum Potential | Lynch-Style Read | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | TRV | The Travelers Companies, Inc. | Financials | Insurance - Property & Casualty | 81.9948 | 10.76 | 13.25 | 0.4172 | 0.5138 | 25.79% | 5.18% | 19.66% | 4.43% | 0.29 | — | 10.23% | 32.75% | 50.98% | 18.64% | 68.3 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | The classic Lynch stalwart read: a hard-market insurer with low leverage and below-market cyclicality. Growth is pricing-plus-float rather than new business, so a soft market would compress the earnings base the low PEG is built on. |
| 2 | TW | Tradeweb Markets Inc. | Financials | Capital Markets | 26.6687 | 29.46 | 26.86 | 0.4776 | 0.4355 | 61.68% | 18.92% | 13.92% | 0.79% | 0.022 | 4.26% | 22.00% | 11.08% | 12.00% | 15.61% | 83.5 | Fast grower at a discount | Electronic trading venues are a structural growth story with an asset-light twist, but the earnings are levered to rate and credit volatility. A PEG this low on a 60%+ growth year says more about a cyclical peak than about durable compounding. |
| 3 | JCI | Johnson Controls International | Industrials | Building Products & Equipment | 89.3469 | 41.55 | 24.45 | 0.4895 | 0.288 | 84.89% | 2.81% | 25.99% | 4.12% | 0.842 | — | -1.80% | 3.45% | 34.58% | 3.04% | 59.8 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Post-portfolio-split Johnson Controls is levered to commercial HVAC, data-center cooling and building electrification. The earnings step-up includes portfolio effects, so the forward multiple is the cleaner GARP read than the trailing one. |
| 4 | NDAQ | Nasdaq, Inc. | Financials | Financial Data & Stock Exchanges | 58.5361 | 30.53 | 22.39 | 0.5082 | 0.3727 | 60.07% | 11.65% | 14.86% | 0.32% | 0.791 | 3.47% | 11.94% | 16.61% | 19.46% | 15.73% | 93.3 | Fast grower at a discount | Market infrastructure with a growing software and data franchise. Recurring revenue and pricing power are real; the growth is steady rather than explosive, so this is a stalwart bought for durability. |
| 5 | NVDA | NVIDIA Corporation | Information Technology | Semiconductors | 5,216 | 33.08 | 16.82 | 0.5109 | 0.2598 | 64.75% | 65.47% | 61.42% | 62.96% | 0.071 | 2.01% | -4.03% | -0.05% | 18.86% | 2.84% | 99.9 | Fast grower at a discount | The clearest 'growth at a discount' in the large-cap table: dominant AI accelerator share, elite returns on capital, and rising estimates that make the forward multiple well below the trailing one. The risk is customer concentration and the shift from cash-funded to debt- and equity-funded hyperscaler capex. |
| 6 | ADBE | Adobe Inc. | Information Technology | Software - Application | 100.6549 | 14.8 | 9.41 | 0.5241 | 0.3332 | 28.24% | 10.53% | 61.90% | 55.93% | 0.615 | 9.59% | 9.83% | 8.07% | -26.97% | 6.04% | 83.9 | Fast grower at a discount | Cheap-looking on trailing growth because the market is pricing in AI disruption to creative software. Enormous free cash flow and buybacks support the downside, but the durable question is whether per-seat pricing survives agentic tools. |
| 7 | EG | Everest Group, Ltd. | Financials | Insurance - Reinsurance | 15.2455 | 8.4 | 6.65 | 0.529 | 0.4188 | 15.88% | 1.24% | 10.40% | 2.56% | 0.013 | — | 7.34% | 17.07% | 15.86% | 11.25% | 36.4 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Reinsurance at a single-digit earnings multiple is cheap for a cyclical reason: hard-market pricing is expected to fade and reserve development is volatile. A Lynch value candidate, not a compounder. |
| 8 | KVUE | Kenvue Inc. | Consumer Staples | Household & Personal Products | 37.4551 | 22.94 | 15.78 | 0.537 | 0.3694 | 42.72% | -2.14% | 13.86% | 8.08% | 0.816 | 4.58% | 9.55% | 15.19% | 37.06% | 9.19% | 56.4 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Branded consumer health spin-off where the earnings improvement is cost-driven - supply chain and overhead simplification - more than volume. A classic stalwart turnaround; the risk is that brand reinvestment spending is deferred rather than eliminated. |
| 9 | AMG | Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. | Financials | Asset Management | 10.1105 | 13.72 | 9.28 | 0.6219 | 0.4207 | 22.06% | 1.64% | 29.26% | 7.62% | 0.956 | 9.75% | 4.62% | 34.10% | 63.64% | 15.06% | 98.8 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Multi-affiliate manager whose earnings are geared to equity market levels and performance fees. The discount to peers partly reflects the holding-company structure and pass-through economics rather than a genuine franchise discount. |
| 10 | RMD | ResMed Inc. | Health Care | Medical Instruments & Supplies | 35.6099 | 24.28 | 19.13 | 0.6527 | 0.5142 | 37.20% | 9.84% | 21.58% | 25.49% | 0.131 | 4.67% | 14.05% | 14.71% | -3.54% | 17.54% | 94.2 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Sleep apnea devices with a replacement-cycle installed base and a new adjacency in weight-loss-drug-linked diagnostics. Steady grower with high returns; reimbursement and competitive bidding are the recurring swing factors. |
| 11 | INTU | Intuit Inc. | Information Technology | Software - Application | 90.8308 | 20.73 | 12.46 | 0.6779 | 0.4075 | 30.58% | 15.63% | 18.76% | 17.47% | 0.371 | 6.67% | 23.82% | -12.04% | -49.14% | 2.82% | 53.8 | Fast grower at a discount | Accounting and tax software with a durable seasonal franchise and strong recurring revenue. The market is worried about AI replacing DIY tax prep; the forward multiple suggests a belief that assisted and business segments keep compounding. |
| 12 | DXCM | DexCom, Inc. | Health Care | Medical Devices | 29.6492 | 31.06 | 25.15 | 0.6881 | 0.5572 | 45.14% | 15.60% | 31.90% | 55.05% | 0.059 | 3.66% | -9.29% | 27.94% | 10.57% | 3.82% | 86.8 | Fast grower at a discount | Continuous glucose monitoring expanding into non-insulin type-2 - a very large structural volume pool. Cash generation and returns are excellent; the PEG depends on reimbursement expansion holding and on new CGM competitors not collapsing price. |
| 13 | FRHC | Freedom Holding Corp. | Financials | Financial Conglomerates | 11.1016 | 72.22 | 38.68 | 0.7151 | 0.383 | 100.99% | 9.34% | 10.30% | 0.61% | 0.033 | — | 1.14% | 14.50% | 12.39% | 12.22% | 31.4 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Retail brokerage in Central Asia with explosive reported growth. The earnings figures are unusual relative to the size of the franchise and the stock trades richly on absolute multiples, so the low PEG here is a data-driven artifact worth independent verification. |
| 14 | SEIC | SEI Investments Company | Financials | Asset Management | 12.2915 | 18.23 | 14.94 | 0.7771 | 0.6368 | 23.46% | 8.10% | 29.28% | 27.24% | 0.025 | 4.81% | -2.19% | 14.15% | 28.28% | 7.94% | 94.2 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Asset-light investment processing platform with very high returns on capital and a sticky client base. Growth is tied to market levels and flows rather than to price increases, making it a steady stalwart with limited cyclical surprise either way. |
| 15 | RTX | RTX Corporation | Industrials | Aerospace & Defense | 266.4875 | 34.77 | 25.14 | 0.8478 | 0.613 | 41.01% | 9.74% | 10.65% | 7.42% | 0.561 | 3.08% | 4.27% | 14.75% | 11.69% | 2.45% | 60.9 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Defense and aerospace with a rebuilt aftermarket and a repaired engine-cost issue. The earnings jump is largely a base-effect recovery, and the defense backlog plus missile-demand cycle provide forward visibility - closer to a stalwart than a fast grower. |
| 16 | EWBC | East West Bancorp, Inc. | Financials | Banks - Regional | 18.0541 | 12.66 | 11.59 | 0.9248 | 0.8466 | 13.69% | 4.45% | 14.33% | 2.22% | 0.018 | 8.32% | 3.57% | 6.76% | 32.55% | 5.17% | 49.4 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | US-Asia corridor bank with a strong deposit franchise and consistent capital returns. Growth is tied to cross-border trade and Asian-American commercial banking; trade policy is the principal macro risk. |
| 17 | AIZ | Assurant, Inc. | Financials | Insurance - Property & Casualty | 14.1633 | 13.75 | 12.31 | 0.9291 | 0.8318 | 14.80% | 7.89% | 14.87% | 2.42% | 0.013 | 11.38% | 8.36% | 23.81% | 37.27% | 9.78% | 78.6 | Growth at a discount (PEG < 1) | Fee-heavy specialty insurer tied to lender-placed homeowners and service contracts. Low capital intensity and steady cash returns, but the growth engine depends on mortgage origination volumes, which remain muted. |
| 18 | STE | STERIS plc (Ireland) | Health Care | Medical Devices | 22.4367 | 28.13 | 18.79 | 1.0255 | 0.685 | 27.43% | 8.73% | 10.93% | 9.03% | 0.269 | 4.30% | 10.14% | 4.19% | -4.03% | 5.71% | 48.7 | Steady grower | Sterilization and surgical-support services with very high recurring revenue and clean returns. The definition of a slow compounder bought at a fair price rather than a discount; sterilization-capacity expansion is the growth lever. |
