How the Ranking Works
Each stock's 5-year return runs from its close five years before its latest one to that latest close, annualized: the yearly rate that compounds to the whole five years. Stocks with less than five years of history aren't ranked, and neither are stocks that have barely moved for three months, which usually means a pending buyout has pinned the price to the deal.
Five years smooths out a single lucky year, but not a long run in one industry or one boom. Check the maximum drawdown and volatility before treating a stock as a core holding, and the Sharpe ratio for the return it paid per unit of risk.
