Reader,

We don’t need to tell you that 2026 has been a year of relentless headlines. Escalating geopolitical tensions, tariff uncertainty, AI-driven speculation, a new Fed chair, and the growing pressure of both a space race and a chip-manufacturing war are ultimately creating a market that rewards discipline and punishes reactive decisions.

This is precisely the environment our growth methodology was designed for.

Rather than chasing what’s exciting or trendy, our approach is made to identify companies with durable competitive advantages, expanding earnings power, consistent sales growth and solid fundamentals that have the ability to perform across cycles ... not just in the heat of a bull run.

During our Summer Sale, we’re offering a select group of patrons a $2 one-month trial of AAII Growth Investing, AAII’s newsletter and model portfolio following a data-driven strategy that focuses on companies with strong fundamentals, built for the long term.

A Portfolio That PERFORMS

It’s about time you stop chasing hot tips and start following the fundamentals ...

Our 20-stock model portfolio excels in any market because it uses the G-Score alongside the AAII Growth Grade — a cumulative scoring system made up of metrics like year-over-year sales growth, long-term annualized sale growth and annual cash from operations — to identify stocks that shine in their respective industry.

As of May 22, 2026, our model portfolio has a few standout stocks year to date, such as:

Returns shown are from portfolio addition date to present. Past performance is not indicative of future results. All positions are current holdings.

As you can see, stocks like Google, ASML, Amazon and Garmin have delivered remarkable growth since being added to our model portfolio, driving our strategy to outperform the broader market.

In this email, I show you our model portfolio’s growth over the past few years and how to spot similar opportunities. Using key metrics to identify companies with long-term potential, you’ll learn to find stocks that can fuel your portfolio’s success.

What the Results Tell Us About the Strategy

The three longest-held positions in the AAII Growth Investing portfolio — Google (+334.9%), ASML (+242.6%) and Amazon (+195.9%) — were all purchased in the fall of 2022 when the portfolio was created, which was one of the most fearful stretches for equity markets in recent memory.

The AAII Growth Investing strategy’s criteria doesn’t care about the macroeconomic environment. It identifies businesses with consistently growing revenues, strong operating cash flow, low earnings variability, and meaningful investment in research and development (R&D) and capital expenditures — G-Score metrics that signal a company is building durable competitive advantage, not just riding a short-term cycle.

Garmin’s +127.4% return since September 2023 tells a different version of the same story. Garmin is not a headline stock. It doesn’t dominate the artificial intelligence (AI) conversation or attract momentum traders. It simply scores well on the metrics we rely on — like consistent sales growth, strong cash generation and stable margins. As you can see from the numbers, the market rewarded that consistency over time.

And just take a look at a few of our newer additions: Generac, Taboola, The New York Times and Brinker. These portfolio inclusions illustrate that the base strategy remains active and disciplined. Each stock was added because it satisfied all the criteria in the screening process across varying market environments. Each holding is already in positive territory, not because of luck, but because the same filters identify stocks with strong long-term growth prospects.

The takeaway here is simple: Slow and steady wins the race, especially over the long term.

Our backtesting results showed that investing in stocks with ‘sweet spot’ growth — not too high and not too low — yields market-beating results. That’s why the AAII Growth Investing model portfolio stands out among other growth strategies.

It follows data, not trends, and goes past the glamour, past the hype ... straight to the companies quietly building the kind of consistent, fundamentally sound growth that actually compounds wealth over time.

... And you can get access to the strategy, the model portfolio, the insights and a growth analyzer tool for only $2 for a full 30 days.

Now is the perfect time to find a growth strategy you can trust as the market keeps evolving.

Stocks That Grow, No Matter the Market

Everyone loves growth stocks, but the problem is that many are doomed to fail. Why? Because the hype drives prices up, and without solid fundamentals, the inevitable collapse follows.

That’s why we created a solution: Hours of research and quantitative models led to the discovery of a new growth strategy focused on secular growth stocks.

These companies rise regardless of economic conditions, often thriving in downturns. Unlike cyclical growth stocks, which are tied to market trends, secular stocks are more stable and resilient.

Using the G-Score and our proprietary Growth Grade, the AAII Growth Investing strategy helps identify these high-quality stocks with sustainable growth potential. We focus on companies with strong financial health like consistent sales growth, solid cash flow and minimal debt, which makes this approach ideal for uncertain markets.

For a limited time, you can access AAII Growth Investing with your special $2 trial offer. Let us show you how to find your next investment success story in this exciting new era of growth investing.
