CAN SLIM® Investment Model — Investor Overview

The CAN SLIM® model, originally developed by William O’Neil, is a disciplined, rules-based investment framework designed to identify high-growth companies early in their expansion cycle—before they become widely recognized by the market.

CAN SLIM combines fundamental growth metrics (earnings acceleration, revenue strength, and institutional sponsorship) with technical price and volume analysis to ensure that capital is deployed only when market demand confirms the opportunity.

For investors, CAN SLIM offers:

• A repeatable, evidence-based process

• Clear rules for when to invest, when to scale, and when to step aside

• A focus on growth with discipline, rather than speculation or long-term stagnation

In short, CAN SLIM seeks to capture the market’s strongest trends while rigorously controlling downside risk—making it well-suited for active investors, advisors, and portfolios seeking systematic outperformance.

Simplified CAN SLIM (Adjusted CAN SLIM / ACS): Overview

Simplified CAN SLIM strips the original CAN SLIM framework down to its two most powerful and observable drivers of outperformance:

1. Strong earnings growth

2. Strong price momentum near highs

Rather than attempting to operationalize all seven CAN SLIM letters (C-A-N-S-L-I-M), which is complex and difficult for most investors to replicate, the simplified model focuses only on earnings acceleration + price confirmation.

The result is a rules-based growth strategy that:

• Is easy to screen and automate

• Requires minimal subjective judgment

• Has historically outperformed the S&P 500 with higher returns, lower beta, and better risk-adjusted performance
