  • Four Stock Picking Formulas Show How to Beat the Market
    June 21, 2026, 7:16 AM EDT. A long-term study by Marcel Schwartz and Matthias X. Hanauer analyzed four renowned stock-picking formulas: Piotroski's F-Score, Greenblatt's Magic Formula, Carlisle's Acquirer's Multiple, and the Conservative Formula by van Vliet and Blitz. Each uses different metrics-from profitability and valuation to volatility and momentum-to rank stocks. The analysis, covering 1963 to 2022 and using the CRSP/Compustat US market dataset excluding microcaps, found that top decile stocks selected by these formulas consistently outperformed lower ranks and the broader market. From 2000 to 2022, three of these approaches showed significant annualized excess returns, suggesting that systematic application of these principles can help investors achieve market-beating results.
