In a unique, ongoing study of over 130 years of market history, Investor’s Business Daily has identified the common traits of top-performing stocks, and we use those characteristics as a checklist to identify today’s leading prospects.
IBD’s proprietary stock screens, including the IBD 50, scan thousands of publicly traded companies daily to highlight only those that earn passing grades for key stock-picking criteria.
The screens are computer generated, based solely on objective criteria, not human emotions, guesswork or predictions. And they have a track record of outperforming the benchmark S&P 500.
IBD has teamed up with the exchange traded funds experts at Innovator Capital Management to create ETFs based on select IBD ETF indexes, including the IBD 50 Index and IBD Breakout Stocks Index.
Scroll down to see the performance of each index. For information on investing in the Innovator ETFs, visit www.innovatoretfs.com.
IBD 50 Index
The IBD 50 is a computer-generated watch list of market-leading growth stocks, based on earnings and sales growth, return on equity, relative price strength and other fundamental and technical indicators. The list is updated daily after the market close. The index uses the list once a week for its rebalance.

IBD Breakout Stocks Index
Breakouts are a particularly powerful start to many of the biggest stock moves. The IBD Breakout Stocks Index starts with companies that have strong fundamental indicators and uses a chart pattern recognition algorithm to identify stocks at or near breakouts. Stocks selected remain a part of the index until they trigger sell signals. The index is rebalanced weekly with heavier weights on stocks showing the most potential for price appreciation.
