The Meridian Score

Growth

How fast the company is expanding its revenue and earnings, combining recent history with what analysts expect ahead, each measure taken against sector peers. Faster, steadier growers score higher. Growth matters because it’s what compounds a business’s value over time — rising sales and profits are ultimately what push a stock higher and lead the market to “re-rate” it to a higher price. A strong grade points to a company gaining ground; the catch is that fast growth usually comes attached to a richer valuation, so you’re often paying up for it. Growth investors lean on this factor most, but every investor should check whether the price (valuation) already assumes the growth will continue.
