Stable Earnings Stocks in India

Screen as of 20 June 2026 · 30 stocks currently qualify

This page lists the Indian stocks that currently qualify under the Stable Earnings screen — a systematic, rules-based stock screen based on the work of Haugen, Blitz & Van Vliet (The Volatility Effect — Academic Research (2007)). These are the stocks the screen identifies; the page is informational only and is not a recommendation.

What is the Stable Earnings screen?

Companies with stable, predictable earnings and strong balance sheets tend to compound quietly over time without the drama of high-flying stocks. This strategy targets consistent profit growth, high returns on capital, and low debt.

How this screen works

This strategy looks for companies with stable, consistent earnings — measured by the gap between their 3-year and 5-year profit growth rates — combined with high returns on capital and low debt. To qualify, a stock must clear the ₹500 crore floor, have return on capital employed of at least 12%, debt-to-equity no higher than 0.5, three-year profit growth of at least 5%, positive five-year profit growth, and positive revenue growth. Qualifiers are ranked on a blend of earnings stability (40%), ROCE (40%) and low debt (20%). The 0–100 score is a relative ranking against other qualifying stocks, not an absolute rating.

Methodology

Rebalance: Annual
Portfolio size: Top 30
Minimum market cap: ₹500 crore
Excludes: High debt companies
