The CANSLIM Growth Model Portfolio was updated this weekend. New Adds of 5 stocks were made and Removals of 5 stocks were made. All prices are as of 12/29/2023. A total of 20 stocks are in the Portfolio.
The CANSLIM Growth Model Portfolio is up over 34% this year and 18% ahead of its benchmark IJR.
The Model Portfolio is made up of 19 to 22 stocks. The criteria used to select the stocks is using the CANSLIM approach. CANSLIM represents the seven characteristics that top-performing stocks often share before making their biggest price gains. Not all the characteristics are being used since some of them are subjective or I cannot backtest. The characteristics I am using are Earnings per share (EPS) and related data concerning EPS, Return on Equity and Sales increase.
Add – BWB, CBNK, IMXI, SPFI, SPNS
Remove – CHWY, HAFC, MITK, TITN, XP
Noteworthy Active Transactions include CLS which accounts for much of this Alpha. It is up +136%. Another one is NSSC which is up 78% since its addition to the Active Portfolio on 10/27/23.

The CANSLIM Growth Model Portfolio finished up the year on a strong note. Up over 34% for the year and way ahead of the benchmark. This is not surprising. The backtest of this Portfolio shows a strong tendency to outperform the IJR benchmark. This year was just a typical year in a long list of outperforming years. I expect 2024 will be more of the same.
