Methodology
The 50 largest year-to-date total returns among large caps. A market-cap floor keeps out the micro-cap noise that otherwise dominates any performance screen — a stock up 400% from a $30M base is not the same finding as a megacap up 80%. Returns are total returns (dividends reinvested), measured over our own adjusted closes.
Returns are total returns (dividends reinvested), computed over adjusted closes we derive ourselves from SEC-filed dividends and splits. Fundamentals come from company filings via our EDGAR pipeline. Past performance does not predict future returns; this is not investment advice.
