How to judge growth quality

  • Compare growth rates with earnings resilience and capital intensity.
  • Avoid building an income case on yield alone when the sector mix is narrow.
  • Use payout ratio as a first stress test.

Useful next step

A good growth list becomes much more useful when it is paired with sector context and a review of the nearest payout dates.
