Passing Lynch's screen
Every company across SageRanks's 22 indices, tested against Lynch's hard limits — live, date-stamped, alphabetical. A screen, not a ranking, and not advice.
Peter Lynch's GARP principle — growth at a reasonable price — comes down to one ratio: what you pay for each unit of growth. This page applies his hard limit to every company SageRanks tracks and lists the ones that clear it right now.
The hard limits
PEG < 1.5PEG 1.0 is fair value; up to 1.5 is acceptable. Beyond that, the growth story must be truly exceptional to justify the price — and exceptional is rarely the base case.
One ratio makes a wide gate: this is SageRanks's longest passing list. Lynch's real edge was knowing the story behind the number — a cheap PEG on collapsing growth estimates is a trap, not a bargain. Check where the growth number comes from before you celebrate.
