Where did business and price disagree?

F ranks the 12-month change in earnings per share, ROCE and operating margin, P ranks the 6-month price change, both 0 to 100 among 1,352 eligible companies. D is F minus P. Results only count 60 days after the period ends, while prices react sooner, so a gap can simply be timing.

What did common screens show?

Five descriptive screens from the Strategy Lab, applied to the data as it stood in August 2026. They describe which companies met each rule; they are not a ranking of what to hold.

What happened next?

Show what happened in the following 1, 3, 6 and 12 months

Hindsight view, not a track record. These are price-only returns after the month shown, for companies still listed today. Companies that were delisted or went bust since then are missing, so these numbers look better than reality. Fundamentals assume results became public 60 days after the period ended and reflect later restatements. Past performance does not indicate future results. ApnaFunda is not a SEBI-registered investment adviser or research analyst.

Only 1 of 3 months and 1 of 6 months and 1 of 12 months have happened yet, so the longer windows run to 9 Oct 2026.

ApnaFunda All index over the same windows: 1M −5% · 3M −7% · 6M −7% · 12M −7%. "Above the All index" compares each name's price return with that. * stopped trading before the window ended (return to its last close). † a price move that looks like an unadjusted split or bonus; left out of the median.
