Best Yearly Performers — how to read this screen

This screen ranks NSE stocks by one-year return — the closest thing on this site to a live multibagger list. A twelve-month window is long enough that luck averages out and the ranking mostly reflects genuine business or re-rating momentum.

Why one year is the useful momentum horizon

The best-documented momentum effect in equities runs over three to twelve months: past winners over that span have historically tended to keep outperforming for a while. It is one of the few price-based patterns to have survived out-of-sample testing across markets and decades, which makes this list more informative than a one-day or one-week ranking.

Separate re-rating from earnings growth

A stock can double because profits doubled, or because the multiple the market pays for those profits doubled. The first can repeat; the second is borrowed from the future and mean-reverts. Checking whether earnings kept pace with the price is the single most useful thing to do with a name from this list before acting on it.

Frequently asked questions

Which NSE stocks gave the best returns in the last year?

The table above ranks NSE stocks by 1-year price change with live prices during market hours. The 30-day column shows whether the yearly winners are still working or have started to cool.

What is a multibagger stock?

A stock that returns a multiple of the money invested — a two-bagger doubles, a ten-bagger returns ten times. The term is applied after the fact. Stocks at the top of a one-year return list have already delivered the return being described, which is precisely why buying them requires a view on the next year rather than the last one.

Do last year's best performing stocks keep performing?

Historically there is a mild tendency for twelve-month winners to continue outperforming over the following months, followed by longer-horizon reversal. The tendency is a statistical edge across a large basket, not a prediction about any single stock, and it has failed for extended periods.

Momentum screens and value screens disagree by design

Near 52-week high and best 30-day performers select for strength; near 52-week low and worst yearly performers select for weakness. These are not better and worse lists — they are two opposite strategies, and a stock that looks compelling on one will look like a mistake on the other. Decide which approach you are running before you open a screen, because running both at once mostly produces confusion.

Always read the volume column with the price column

A percentage move tells you what happened; volume tells you how many participants agreed. The same 8% gain means something quite different on ten times normal volume than on a few thousand shares, and low-volume moves in illiquid names reverse far more easily than the percentage suggests. This applies to every screen on this page, which is why volume is shown on all of them.

What a screen cannot see

None of these rules know why a stock moved. A fall can be a results miss, a regulatory order, an index exclusion, a block deal, or simply an ex-dividend adjustment that is not a loss at all. Before acting on any name from a screen, the exchange announcements and the latest results usually explain in one minute what the price data cannot explain at all.

Frequently asked questions

What is a stock screener and how do I use one?

A screener applies a rule to every stock in a universe and returns the ones that match — stocks within 5% of a 52-week high, stocks trading at three times normal volume, every constituent of the Nifty Bank index. It narrows 750-plus listed names down to a working shortlist. The screen is the start of the research, not the end of it: it tells you which stocks meet a condition, never whether meeting that condition is a good thing.

Is this stock screener free?

Yes. All 22 screens are free, need no login, and run on live NSE prices during market hours. There is no row limit and no delayed-data tier.

How often do the screens update?

Screens are rebuilt from live NSE prices through the trading session, so a stock can enter or leave a screen intraday as prices move. Screens based on longer windows — 30-day and 1-year performance — shift more slowly, since a single session moves a twelve-month return very little.

Which stock screen should I start with?

It depends on which direction you are working from. If you want to know what the market is doing right now, start with top gainers, top losers or most active. If you are looking for setups over days or weeks, near 52-week high and best 30-day performers are the usual momentum starting points. If you already know the sector you want exposure to, the twelve sector screens list every index constituent so you can compare peers side by side.

Can a screener tell me which stocks to buy?

No. A screen surfaces stocks that satisfy a mechanical rule, and mechanical rules have no view on valuation, business quality, management or the reason behind a price move. Two stocks can match the same screen for opposite reasons — one recovering from a cyclical trough, the other beginning a permanent decline. Screens are for generating candidates to research. This is data, not investment advice.
