Why STK ranks #1

Total-return consistency · Compared with the active Armchair Insider collection through Sep 18, 2026.

01 · Recent period

1-year period

Sep 18, 2025 – Sep 18, 2026
+62.18%cumulative total return

#1 of 97 eligible investments on these dates.

0 investments have a higher return.

(1 − 1) ÷ (97 − 1)≈ 0.0000
02 · Longer period

5-year period

Sep 20, 2021 – Sep 18, 2026
+163.97%cumulative total return

#2 of 80 eligible investments on these dates.

1 investment has a higher return.

(2 − 1) ÷ (80 − 1)≈ 0.0127

Period score = (rank − 1) ÷ (eligible count − 1). This is the fraction of other eligible investments ahead of this one, from 0 (none ahead) to 1 (all ahead). It makes standings comparable when the two periods have different peer counts. A single eligible investment scores 0.

03 · First sorting rule

Use the weaker period

max(0.0000, 0.0127)≈ 0.0127

Lower scores come first. A stronger period cannot cancel a weaker one.

04 · If scores tie

Add the two period scores

0.0000 + 0.0127≈ 0.0127

The lower combined score comes first when the weaker-period scores match.

STK places #1 of 100

The longer period is the weaker standing, setting a ranking score of 0.0127. Lower scores rank first.

Remaining tie-breaks & return formula

If both scores tie, higher longer total-return rate comes first, followed by higher recent total return. Investments equal on both scores and both returns to eight decimal places share a rank; ticker A–Z only orders those tied rows.

For STK, the longer total-return tie-break is +21.4540% annualized; the recent total-return tie-break is +62.1789% cumulative.

Total return = 100 × (ending adjusted close ÷ starting adjusted close − 1). The period standings compare cumulative total returns on the same dates. Annualization is only used for the longer-return tie-break.

Annualized return = 100 × ((1 + total return ÷ 100)^(1 ÷ years) − 1), with years measured as elapsed days ÷ 365.2425. Histories under one year are never annualized. Peer returns are compared to eight decimal places; score sorting uses unrounded fractions. Numbers above are rounded for display.

This ranks observed total-return consistency, not business quality, dividend safety or expected future return. Each investment is compared with eligible peers over its own exact dates, so peer counts can differ. No quality, valuation or risk factors are added to this calculation.

This explains the collection’s default ranking. Search, category filters and chart periods do not change it; choosing another sort changes the list order. This is Income Lens’s calculation, not a score published by the strategy creator.
