Methodology

How the engine works

Multibagger is a search engine, not a stock picker. It evaluates each company as a business, scores it across six dimensions, and publishes a ranked, vetted list of the companies with real multibagger growth potential, with a written thesis for each name.

How the engine works
A repeatable, methodical process, run the same way on every company.
01

Growth and value, scored on separate tracks

We score the business first, uncontaminated by price: moat, runway, the compounding engine, durability. That is the growth read. Separately, we estimate what the company is worth and compare it to where it trades. Keeping the two apart until the end is what stops a cheap-looking price from flattering a weak business, or a rich price from hiding a great one, and it is what lets the combined opportunity score actually mean something.

02

Two archetypes, judged on their own terms

Every company is read through one of two lenses. Asset-light compounders earn high margins and reinvest cheaply; scale-economics engines run thinner margins but widen their advantage as they grow. Scoring each archetype separately catches both the software-style compounder and the Costco-style operator, instead of throwing one away for not looking like the other.

03

Gates before scoring

Names must clear hard gates first: enough size to be a real company, genuine revenue (no pre-commercial story stocks), and accessibility for ordinary investors. Certain markets and categories are excluded for accessibility reasons. Only what passes the gates gets scored.

04

Per-share, not headline

Growth bought by issuing stock is not compounding. We measure growth on a per-share basis, which quietly removes the names whose impressive headline numbers are funded by dilution. It is historically our single best false-positive killer.

05

A deep qualitative read, not a checkbox

Clearing the gates only earns a company a real look. Each one then goes through a rigorous, multi-layered six-dimension qualitative analysis of the business, reasoned from its filings and primary sources rather than reduced to a single ratio. That resolves into one holistic MGI score and a named swing factor: the single thing most likely to make or break the case. It is the deliberate core of the engine, not a one-pass numeric filter.

06

Vet and rank

What survives is de-duplicated, vetted for dilution and known risk patterns, then ranked. The result is a timestamped, immutable snapshot of exactly what the research surfaced on that date, with a written thesis attached to each name.
