Buffettology: Sustainable Growth Screen

Return on equity, return on invested capital and a growing book value per share are the durability tests in this screen, applied together with historical diluted earnings per share and net income so that growth is judged over years rather than quarters.

Free cash flow per share at the last quarter and long term debt from the most recent year show whether the growth is self funded, which is the distinction the Buffettology approach cares about most. All eight columns populate from MarketXLS formulas, and a new candidate list can be swapped in without rebuilding the layout.
