To identify Hot Growth companies, BusinessWeek sifts through the Standard & Poor’s Compustat database of 10,000 public companies for those with revenues of $50 million to $1.5 billion a year. Businesses are ranked by three-year sales and earnings growth as well as return on capital. Companies must have a market cap of $25 million or more and a stock price of at least 5. Profit or stock price shortfalls, or news that puts prospects in doubt, may knock a company off the list.
