questions about companies, you can learn which are likely to grow and prosper, which are unlikely to grow and prosper, and which are entirely mysterious,”
Peter Lynch, One Up On Wall Street, Pg. 74.

“However, a stock has come to your attention… What you’ve got so far is simply a lead to a story that has to be developed… Developing the story is really not difficult: at most it will take a couple of hours… It seems to me that this homework phase is just as important to your success in stocks.”
Peter Lynch, One Up On Wall Street, pg. 106

Developing The Story Gathering the Data Use at least three sources
Value Line &/ or S&P ‘tearsheets’ Great for both company and industry data
Current news from the internet Yahoo or MSN are the easiest to use
Company itself Best source of data – even after the Enrons
and World Coms Read the Annual Report, esp. MD&A, &
other company news releases.

Peter Lynch’s Stages of Growth
Fast growth companies May grow at over 20% per year Have SSG graphs that look like
summit of a mountain peak Walgreens, Lincare, Renal Care Group
“The trick is figuring out when they’ll stop growing, and how much to pay for the growth.” Peter Lynch
![Page 13: Developing The Story](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815566550346895dc33098/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Peter Lynch’s Stages of Growth
Steady growth companies (stalwarts) Look for 10-12% growth per year Have SSG graphs that look like the
foothills of mountains Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, AFLAC

14
Peter Lynch’s Stages of Growth
Slow growers Tend to grow less than 6% per year Have SSG graphs that look like the state
of Delaware – flat Clorox, Proctor & Gamble
“Usually large and aging companies are expected to grow slightly faster than the gross national product (3%).” P. Lynch
Cyclicals Have SSG Graphs that look like the
polygraphs of liars Ford, GM, Boeing

4. Only after looking at the “big picture” can you begin to evaluate future growth and future P/E in Section 3 of the SSG.

5. Look at the 5 year trends Growth comes future EPS
Management is the key Value comes from making educated
guesses about future P/Es. Never want to over pay for growth
NAIC investors look for growth companies that are “on sale” GARP Growth At a Reasonable Price

Developing The Story
5. Look at the 5 year trends Where is the P/E in relation to its
history? Are the trends for high and low P/E down?
up? Or both? Give greater weight to recent events
Compare to P/Es of the general market Compare to P/Es for its chief
competitors

“Companies … with long records of above average growth tend to sell at higher P/Es, but their highs
are usually not sustainable.”
-- Handbook, 130

“Wall Street does not look kindly on fast growers that run out of stamina and turn into slow growers, and when that happens, the stocks are beaten down accordingly.”
-- Peter Lynch,One Up On Wall Street,
pgs. 118-119

When the growth stops When growth stops, Round I
EPS will slow down Price will drop faster than EPS
because investors won’t pay a premium for slower growth
Causing P/E contraction When the growth stops, Round II
Which can feed more price dropping Which can cause more P/E
contraction

Review“As soon as sales and/or EPS falter, growing
stocks often react as if their growth vehicle hit a brick wall... Sometimes longstanding growth companies with previously high ratings slow down and the price can fall by 50 percent. They are often referred to as ‘fallen angels’ …they pass our SSG test as if they were the greatest buys in the world (except that the most recent quarterly figures will be down). Many of those fallen companies recover and continue to new highs, but others cease to be growth companies.”
-- Ed Chiampi BI, April 98

Review A company’s growth prospects and P/Es
are NOT determined in a vacuum. Understand the company’s business
model Understand what the competition is doing What are its strengths and weaknesses? What are its opportunities and threats?
Understanding what a company does will help make your projections more accurate

“Once you’re able to tell the story of a stock to your family, your friends, or the dog… so that even a child could understand it, then you have a proper grasp of the
situation.”
Peter Lynch, One Up On Wall Street, pg. 174
