The 5-Step Value Investing Framework
Step 1: ROCE above 20% — Return on Capital Employed is the single most powerful predictor of wealth creation.
Step 2: Revenue growth above 15% CAGR — Consistent top-line growth proves the business model works.
Step 3: Debt-free balance sheet — Companies funding growth from internal cash flows have the strongest foundations.
Step 4: Promoter confidence — Stable or increasing promoter holdings signal management conviction.
Step 5: Sector tailwinds — Quality companies in growing sectors compound even faster.
